SPLENDID MEETINGS
BEING HELD
For the past week and a half Metho-
dism of the town and surrounding
vicinity have greeted Rev, Dr. Hanley
and Mr. Fisher with full congregations,
Not only the Methodists but the rest
of the denominations are taking an in-
terest in the meetings and if the in-
terest continues to increase the whole
tots; will feel the prodigioes influence
of the ;meetings.
Dr: Hanley- is an eloquent, fluent
and convincing speaker. Ile has many
phrases and methods of expression
which are characteristic of American
orators. lie possesses a musical voice,
which enables Bina to give us vivid de-
scriptions of various incidents in his
career as a ,h preacher and chaplain.
lie has great taet In using illustrations
to "drive home" the point about which
Isis is ialking.1 Dr. Hanley is a real
modern preacher, it appears that he
does not believe in abstract theories
and creeds upon which the Church at
the present time is based, but rather
believes that the one essential is the
realization of the fact that Christ died
for the redemption of mankind. Dr.
Hanley believes in the application of
the principles of 'Christianity to the
economic and social problems of the
nation. He asserts that unless the
Church wields its power and influence
in Canada and the United States, the
result will be chaos and anarchy,
Professes Fisher who Ieads the song
service Is a singer of exceptional abil-
ity. Before joining Dr. Ilauley's party
he was ten years with Billy Sunday
who declared that he contributed in too
small degree to the great success which
he achieved in American cities. Mr.
Fisher is supported by a large choir of
young people which adds greatly to
the enjoyment of the meetings,
On Friday night - last, Dr, Hanley
preached a very eloquent sermon on
Religion in the Bone." "Home is
the foundation of the nation and relig-
ion is the foundation of the Home" is
one of the great statements which Dr.
Hanley made. "You cannot buy a
(hone you must develop it" is another
of the great facts which lie tried 0 im-
press his audience. He gave several
illustrations to show that although
some families have everything which
wealth may procure but they have not
a real home because they lack religion.
Last Sunday morning Dr. Hanley
preached on the subject "Remember',
lie stated three facts which are essen-
tial for the people of this world. "Re-
member God; Remember Christi Re-
member that you must remember." Ile
Pointed out haw the haughty Pharoahs,
the. domineering and autocratic Ceasar,
the atheistic Napoleon, the blasphem-
ous Kaiser with all their power and
wealth and apparent defiance of God,
had. been swept away, and to -day God
is .supreme.
In the afternoon he addressed a large
,audience of Church members on the
subject "Stale Saints." Every man is
God's signboard in the world, is the
great fact which Dr. Hanley tried to
impress. Ile declared that the slag-
nant Church Was a curse to any com-
munity , Ire accused the Church of
being the least progressive institution
in the country. tie claimed that the
Church was too narrow, negative and
supercritical, it was based on a foiled -
effort of "dent's," He declared that
until the Church had proper amuse-
ments to furnish the young people,
would they forsake the bell -room,
theatre and other questionable amuse-
ments,
On Sunday evening, Dr. Hanley
preached on the subject "Pilate before
Christ." Ile said that he did not judge
Pilate severely because he was the
product of his environment. lie show-
ed how the young of to -day are the
product of their environment and up-
bringing and pointed out to the fathers
and northers the great duty they have'
in shaping the character and tempera-
ment' of their children. He declared
that sooner or later everyone avast face
the judgment seat of Clulst and it is
the duty of everyone to prepare for
that great meeting.
Dr, ifauley's sermons are essentially
practical. He touches the every day
experiences of everyone. He does not
fry to -discuss some greet theological
question - but faces the problenhs and
experiences.of all both rich and poor,
