The two weeks of services at the McDonough Methodist church came to a close with the Sunday evening’s services. In every respect it was a not able and successful series of meet ings. Every service was well attend ed by an interested congregation and the house was crowded on a number of occasions. The sermons preached by' the pastor, the Rev. H. S. Smith, twice daily were sound expositions of the Word of God, proclaimed in a most convicting and winning manner. Mr. Grenfell’s music on the flute and the singing under his leader ship were most inspiring and al ways befitting the sermon. Misses Boss Fouche and Annie G. Thomp son were the accomplished pian ists. There were a number of special services, such as for the ‘ shut ins,” several times for the children, etc. As a result of the meetings, there were nineteen accessions to the church membership.
