Rev. Sidney M. Berry. M.A., who preached at the Whitefield's anniversary, has only twice before preached in London since he succeeded Dr. Jowett at Birmingham. Very wisely he is concentrating all his energies upon his own particular work at Carr's Lane Chapel, whose high traditions he is maintaining with marked success. He inherits much of his father's charm of personality, and in the pulpit he is a commanding figure, with every possible advantage that physique and voice can confer.
Not a trace of nervousness was visible on Friday. His self-mastery was complete. He conducted the whole service and gave it a unity that was quite marked. Mr Berry's handling of Christ's words, "The fields are white unto harvest, but the labourers are few ... pray ye therefore," was characterized by clarity of exposition and force of application.
