Pent, B.A., phia, the Young Evangelistic Preach- er, Singer and Instrumentalist, Brings Larger Crowds as the | Meeting Continues. The strains of the gospel song, "Since | Jesus Came Into My Heart" being sung by | the congregation and the Congregational Church "choir was the means of slowing the step of many who were passing the church Sunday evening. It was not only the means | of making them listen, but of bringing them | in to join in the preliminary song service of the Evangelistic services now being held. | Mr. F. K. Creasy was the leader and the choir gave him every assistance, singing as though they meant and felt every word they | sang. Mr. Creasy also sang most pleasingly | a Solo entitled, "In the Secret of His Pres- | ence," and Mrs. J. B. Waugh was in charge | of the organ. Evangelist services are not as popular as | they used tobe. A rather peculiar thing | that people want all the excitement~ they | can get in every other activity except re- | ligion. "No, I don't like Evangelistic ser- vices, they work too much on one's feel- ings ;" that is heard now and then, but there is not much done withoutemotion. A man without feeling never brought a song to life, wrote a book or a poem, preached a good sermon or loved a girl. No, people don't accomplish many great things without | the fire of feeling. No matter what aman is Selling of any great value he must sell the thing to him- self before he can sell it to anyone else, and the sale of the Gospel is no exception. One | would think that salvation would be an easy thing to get men and womien to accept, but it isn't. is nothing to it,' and to another "Its too complicated, don't understand it ; therefore don't want to haveanything to do with it."' Arnold V. Pent, B.A., who is conducting these services is a hard worker who selJs himself the moment he starts in with his | message. Without a note he rushes madly from thought to thought. so brilliant he would be a better speaker. Some preachers think too fast, are more, however, who think too slowly. No one would accuse Arnold V. Pent of Philadelphia of making his work easy. No, he's a racer and puts his whole being into the job of making the gift of salvation simple and easily comprehended. He took his text fron n the 17 th Chapter tst Da sie and for his subject, Heros ves." 'Every man has his Solace: 'In the world of literature and in the world of finance. Indeed every great soldier has his hero. Even God has His heroes. David was one of them. David fought the Philistine through his faith i God. The word Phili stine means wan deret In every city ate € are wanderers. Wand- erers from God, and satan keeps these wand- erers away from God and controls lives that should be controiied by God.

Every plan that he uses has been used time and again.' To hear a clean-cut young man, not very far away from his 'teens deliver a message in a strong and sincere manner is an inspir- ation to an audience. His message in song | isa splendid prelude to his preaching, for | he has an exceptional voice, which is inl- | fused with sincerity. PEARL M. TUCKER A.

THE MIRROR Greatest Laugh Recorded. It happened at a performance of "Israel in Egypt" 1859. The Queen was present, and Costa, the conductor, conceived the happy idea that the audience should join with chorus and orchestra in the performance of the National Authem, in honor of Her Majesty, which feature he proposed to introduce with sonorous roll of drums. The idea was all right, but the first hitch came when the drummer could not hear what Costa said, and the latter tried to con- vey his meaning by gutteral vocal sounds, while he beat an imaginary drum with his baton! Chorus and orchestra gazed at these unseemingly antics at a loss, and then some- one tittered. It was catching, and in less than a mo- ment, five thousand people were helpless with laughter. _ The infection spread to the audience, and all sense of decorum fled as the laughter swelled from five, to thirty-two thousand voices. "It was a sort of chaotic shreik, not in the least human, but worth hearing for once, "' wrote a spectator of the scene. A TOAST Here's to the man who works * With hammer shovel or Pen! A fig to the man who shirks When duty demands, or when Children are waiting at home to be fed; And invalids, helpless, are lying in bed Wishing for night from the dawn of the day Nothing to do but to wait and to pray, Farmers are waiting for men whocan reap; Sailors are.wanted for crossing the deep; There's work in creation wherever we look From plowing and digging to writing a book. --Jack Riley.
