Rev. Sam Small preached at the Methodist Church Sunday night to a congregation, a large portion of which occupied standing room only. The church was jammed to its extreme capacity. His subject was the duty of Christians in the present prohibition fight and his address was a strong and logical presentation of the case from a Bible standpoint. He was at times severe in his arraignment of those who, professing to be Christians, fail to vote as they pray. A deep impression was made upon his audience, which listened with the closest attention to the end of his address.
