At McGill Street Chureh. '
The le and attentlveneaa of the
Monday night congregation at Mefilll
Street bore eloquent testimony to the
nttraotlve power of the Gospel. Grat
ifying progress is being made both in
the organisation of the forces and the
spiritual interest manifested.
Evangelist Ray) is anything but a
dull preacher. His heart has close
nnd tnllniftte fellowship with and
knowledge of his Lord: but he also
knows the foibles nnd follies, the pe
culiarities and faults of folks, nnd he
lays an unerring linger upon them. His
sparkling humor nnd ready wit, as he
Wildly denounces popular - sUii' pro-i
yoke 'many a laugh f but after jthe
laugh Is over, one realises there wus
something. In it besides a laugh. The
laugh is ouly the sprig of green with
which the wholesome food is garnish
ed. -
By no means least among the factors
that are contributing to the success of
the meeting is the superb singing of
Mr. Morris and his well i organized
choirs. Mr. Morris has not ouly es
tablished himself as a pleasing and ef
fective gospel singer, but baa happily
proven his ability to induce others to
sing with the spirit and the under
standing. - Hit 1 "Booster Choir," com
posed of some sixty-odd bright faced,
sweet voiced children Is an .. Inspira

valuable and appreciated service as
accomoanist.
The evangelist again polled the
congregation to And how -many had
read as much as a chapter In the Bi
ble since the last service and elgbty
fonr people signified that they had
read 300 chapters during the day, the
honor going to Miss Lena Belle Freeze
who had read thirty-nve. , . ..
The congregation' was prepared for
the message of the evening by, Mr.
Morris as. be earnestly sang, "I am
satisfied with , Jesus; is He satisfied
with me?" -.
Evangelist Bay announced as big
theme. 'Obedience." reading ror uis
text Isaiah 65:3, He said In part
"Everything but man lives as long
on the earth today as it ever (lid aud
everything upoif the earth, today but

Painting a strikingly eloquent Imag

the serpent to Adam and Eve in the
