Last Sunday the matter of employing
a preacher was taken up by the member.
of the Christian church. A proposition
from Elder Cunningham, offering te
preach for one year for 81, 200. was re.
Jected.
Elder w. r. Cunningham last. week
closed the three weeks meeting which
he has been conducting in the Christian
church, on Texas Prairie. He was very
successful in his preaching. and made
thirty-five additions to tho church.
The protracted meeting is still in pro.
gress at the Baptist church; there are
three candidates for baptism, and sever.
al other conversions. We are not ad.
vised IS to whether pr not the meeting
will be continued longer than to-mor.
row evening.
On last Sunday morning the pastor
and congregation of the o. S. Presbyte
rian church were smoked out by one o
the furnaces, and repaired in a body t.
the Baptist church. We had the pleas
ure Of being there, and heard q gooe
practical sermon from MI. Hatcher
which was preached to a large, and, a
we thought, ~appreciative audience.
A short notice was published in THU
column last week, signed NJ. It i.
charged that the article slandered Elder
Cunningham. A person must have .
keen scent for SANDER who could imagine
any such thing. We had no thought o
him when the article was written. The
Christian church needs and desires 8
preacher who can command the Low.
and respect of the entire membership
and the public generally. As We Or.
not acquainted with Ed. c. we do ns'
know whether or not he would suppl,
the want. The congregation thinks h.
would not. Until the church can get q
man who a keep the congregation
united, it had better do without any one
