Rev. Henry S. Yerger preached at the
First Presbyterian church on the corner
of Third and Poplar yesterday. The
services were attended by large con-
gregation who listened attentively to
the services presided over by the young
preacher. Rev. Mr.. Yeager is the son
of Orville Yerger of our city, and pre-
serves the eloquence and ability for
which his family has been so noted, both
in Tennessee and Mississippi. Yester-
day the Reverned gentleman delivered
most impressive discourse, full Of
sound argument and orthodox views.
The discourse was ably conceived, well
expressed and eloquently delivered, and
it impressed all there in attendance with
the fact that ere long Mr.. Yerger will
stand among the leading lights of the
church

its fidelity and point is one of the best that
