E. CHURCI It has been many years since two 1 itronger sermons have been heard in ' Washington than those delivered at ' the First MethodlBt Church Sunday j morning and Sunday night by Rev. , Luther B. Bridgers. evangelist, who i is now engaged in holding a series i af meetings. The consensus of o- i pinion is that his discourses are such i that no doubting one acn get around < the convincing argument he pre- i sentB. His sermon Sunday night was heard and listened to attentive- i ly by one of the largest congrega- ' tions seen in Washington for quite awhile. Mr. Bridgers was particularly impressive and in discussing the hereafter and its punishments showed conclusively that there is a hell in another world for all those who j elect to lead a life of sin. He is a speaker wh# gains the attention of; his hearers from the start and sesses the faculty of keeping the un-J divided atention of his listeners until the closing words.
