Special Services. — Splendid audi-

mondville church'on Sunday, and the
week -night services 'show a main-
tained interest. The services are ab-.
-solutely devoid of anything ' sensa-
tional and there is. a quiet intensity
that is making an effective appeal to
those who attend. Rev, F. A. Robin-

beeen associated with Mr. Robinson
for over five years and has travelled
from coast to coast several times.
Her improvisations of the great
hymns of the Church constitute one
of the most enjoyable features of the
meetings. '
Mr. J. Koffend, of Toronto, gives
special attention' to work amongst the
boys and girls and is also an effective
soloist, The bright congregational
singing is greatly enjoyed and under
the leadership of Mr. Robinson, the
choir is giving splendid service. 'Mr.

THE ECLIPSE.
