years ago when it had 05 members and
worked on it and built it up until it

at certain intervals he drops the

Several ministers of the other churches
have beau in attendance, thus show
ing a most brotherly spirit. J. N.
McConuell is a speaker of no mean
ability and a man of very pleasing
personality. The memliers of the
church have been thus far nnusually
well pleaaed with Mr. MoConnell's
presentation of his themes. Mr. Mo
Connell's strongest ability is popu
larity with men. During the larger
majority of his meetings he has had a
large attendance of men. The evan

of hie sermons and in their delivery
he uses the straightforward conver
sational style. His earnestness iui
presses one at once. One very inter
eetiug part of each service is the
question Hat. Mr. McConnell has a
aeries of SO questions printed and
those in the audience who wish
