ishment - Instead he spoke of the hell on
earth produced by profane, vulgar and ly
ing tongues. He also told of "Ithe good
done by a tongue tamed by God's power
and consecrated to good. Tonight ha will
speak on "The Wonderful Book," and to
morrow night on "Turning the world up
side down to get it right side up." On
Thursday evening the service will begin
at 7 and close at 8, on account of the en
tertainment by Plumstead to be given in
the church. The meetings will continue
indefinitely. -..,-,
