Rev. William E. Hudson. He preached
for two weeks the simple gospel story
with great earnestness, and was untiring
in his efforts to win souls. The

the whole community, the Christian

their Saviour. Twenty-eight of these

membership. This makes a total of
one hundred and eight received into

An interesting feature of the meeting
was the stereopticon views of the
life of Christ shown every other night.
Mr. Hudson, with the deacons, canvassed
the entire field for the support
of the gospel in this section, and the
increase this loyal people made in their
gifts was very gratifying. The societies
of the church are in good condition.

their summer meeting this year the
pastor secured the services of the
Synodical evangelist, Rev. M. McG.

the summer, but the attendance and interest
was good. A house full on

is what happened at Penfleld. There

four of these united with the church.
Others will unite later, and some will
go to other churches.
