It was no doubt an inspiration to Dr. Crews to be greeted by such a very large audience in the evening, many young people from country sections being present. present. They were well repaid for coming, too. His morning discourse was based on Rev. 2: J3--"I know where thou dwellest" emphasizing God's care over His children. In the evening he based his excellent sermon sermon on Psa. 20:5, "In the name of our God we will set up our banners". Dr. Crews, in some personal remarks at the evening service said that he had preached on a recent recent Sunday evening in the largest Methodist Methodist church in Toronto and on another Sunday evening in one of the large churches churches in the city and the congregation now before him exceeded by a considerable number the people in the two city congregations. congregations. He was glad to see that Bowmanville Bowmanville people are not "oncers", as he had noticed several persons at both services. services. He was also pleased to. see so many children and young people in the audiences. He gave the choir high praise for their good singing and thought people might well attend this church for the bright singing if there were no other attractions. attractions. He hoped to meet them all again next Sunday when he intends preaching preaching a special sermon to the young people in the morning.

In the evening he will preach on "The tyranny of Fashion"--a sermon no doubt for present day consideration. He will be the preacher preacher during May and June in this church in place of Rev. W. G. Clarke who has gone overseas. Prof. Edward "Willard directed the choir and sang a solo very nicely at each service. Both choir and audience greatly appreciated his work for the day.
