' ' At his tabernacle in New Bern he addresses hundreds of people at his special meetings on Sunday evenings. His church seats some. 700 people, and the doorways are crowded with stand ing listeners. ,;. ..:,' It is said that no stenographer has ever .been successful In taking full notes of Mr. Ham's sermons, because he speaks; too rapidly. His style of address is remarkable, and his vivid, forceful English makes Itself felt im mediately. He seems to be able to overcome the laws of gravitation, so to speak, because he can "lift an au aience out of their seats and hold them suspended" by his rapid fire elo quence, Mr, Ham is a young man, and an earnest revivalist He uses a sledge hammer style of . attack and smites the sinner on his armor of stubborn ness with crashing blows. , He opens his exhortations In a gatllng gun man ner, powtng retorical shot Into his hearers in such quantity and with such force that his. slaughter of follow ers of worldly standards Is terrific. Charleston has seldom, been, visited by such a remarkable speaker as the. Rev. Ham. He will speak at the FIrat Bap tist Church this week at 4 and 8 p. m, HIS STACK A ROBBERS' NEST Farmer Tans Up Loot as He Hauls Away Straw, ''-r By Wire to The Sun. Seaford, Del., Oct 2-.
