Big Crowds Hear
Evangelist Gregg
Three Large Audiences At Sunday
Services Temperance Meet
ing in Afternoon.
Three large audiences greeted
Evangelist Gregg, Sunday. The
morning service was devotional,
the theme, "The Great Memorial,"
touched all hearts. Three persons
of Joseph, were among the additions
to the church ait this service. The
sermon was followed by the baptis
mal ceremony. ,
The music under the direction of
Mrs. O'. M. Corktas is pronounced
by the evangelist as one of the
most valuable aids to tihe success
of the meetings. The quartet composed-
of Messrs. Poley and Brad
ley, 'Mrs. Sheets and Miss Payne
rendered the beautiful anthem, "Je
sus, Lover - af My Soul."
' The afternoon service was under
the clrctkmi of the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union. A union
chorus furnished the music, using
songs appropriate to the temperance
work. Miss Browning sang beau
tifully the old song, "Father, Dear
Father. Come Home Wiuh, Me Now."
At this service the evangelist took
for his theme "The Perils of Old
Glory." He said: "Whatever op-:
poses that for which "Old Glory"
Is unfurled is an. enemy and ought
to die. That banner stands for pros
perity, peace, happiness, education
and nobility of character. The sa
loon stands opposed tothese neces
sary qualities of a great nation, and
Is therefore nn enemy and ought
to die. Old Glory stands for law
and order, while the saloon defies
all law, prostitutes Justice, and is
the unholy hand of treason and
anarachy that would besmirch her
colors with crime."
The evening ssrvlce was attended
by a crowded house of Interested
llflt.er.ersu The evangelist used as
his subject "Fraternal Orders," and
was master of hU theme. Many
cf tiie audience were heard to say,
'Thai was the fairest and clearest
treatment of the subject I have
SVer It aid." Mr. Gregg emphasized
the fact tha fraternal orders do
not. take the place of the church
and do not promise to save a man's

discourse was rendered by the reg
