A Wonderful Service

World Famous Soloist Hear in McColl Methodist Church Sunday Evening

Not in very many years has McColl Methodist church held such a great congregation as on Sunday evening last, when Harry H. McClaskey, of New York was announced to sing in the home church of his boyhood. Announcement had only been made of this event last Saturday afternoon, but so great was the desire to hear this now world-famous soloist that the church was packed to its utmost capacity and several hundreds were unable to gain admittance. Mr. McClaskey assisted the choir in the hymns and was heard in two solos, "If with all your heart," from the oratorio Elijah, and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," sung with such sweetness, power, grace and expression that each line seemed an inspiration and a benediction, and it was only with great restraint and with regard for the place that spontaneous applause was withheld. Miss Elva Nicholson, the accomplished organist of the church, was very efficient in her accompaniment. The efficient choir of the church was augmented by a male quartet, composed of W. G. DeWolfe, H. E. Beek, W. A. Hyslop and Verne Love. The pastor of the church, Rev. F. H. Holmes, who has early won the esteem of his congregation, and a reputation as an original thinker and an able and attractive preacher, delivered a gospel message, inspired by the thought of the passing year, that held the close attention of the vast congregation to the close. That Sunday evening in McColl Methodist church with St. Stephen's most famous son will long be remembered by all present.
