Among Sermons: "Hell and Where It Is"

Chicago area, Jan. 1908

At Sangamon St. M. E. church, 64th and Sangamon Sts., a revival is being held during January. Services are held every evening, bright singing, interesting subjects, The subject of the pastor's sermon next Sunday will be "Hell and Where It Is."

Rev. James W. Frid, the popular pastor of Thoburn M. E. church, is delivering a series of very interesting sermons during January on Sunday evenings. Two have been delivered. The one for next Sunday will be "Sky Pilot" or "Christ among the cowboys of the west."

Rev. R. A. White will preach next Sunday morning at the People's Liberal church on "The Ideal and Practical in Education" and in the evening will deliver his last illustrated lecture on "Athens."

The pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian church will preach next Sunday morning on "Samuel, the Jurist and Prophet" and in the evening on the question "Is there divinity in man?"

The revival meetings at the First Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene, 6417 Eggleston avenue, under the leadership of that remarkable preacher the Rev. "Bud" Robinson, are eminently successful. At the close of the first four days sixty-six persons had been at the altar of prayer seeking salvation. Sunday was a wonderful day despite the inclement weather. These meetings continue until January 26. Thursday of each week is devoted to prayer and fasting from 10:30 a. m. throughout the day. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday a Bible reading at 2:30. The citizens of Englewood should hear this great preacher unlike any other in the world.

Revival services are in progress at the Garfield Boulevard M. E. church, 55th and Emerald Ave. Over thirty persons have been at the altar thus far to accept Christ and lead better lives. Revival sermon next Sunday, 10:30 a. m., subject "A Mighty Force Among the Forces of God." 7:30 p. m., topic "The Need of Rome the Need of Chicago." Sunday school night this Friday evening. A large attendance expected.
