CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP ILLUsTRA-
TED.-A very pleasant scene occurred
last Sabbath, the 9th instant, in con-
nection with the religious services of
the Congregational church. Five young
persons were received into membership
by that church, on the profession of
their faith in Christ. After the morn
ing service, the pastor, Rev. M. A.
Gates, assisted by two brethren, mem
bers of the Baptist church in the vii
lage, administered baptism to three of
the candidates by immersion, while the
other two, kneeling at the altar in the
house of worship, received baptism by
sprinkling. The communion of the
Lords Supper followed, in which mem
bers of the Baptist and Methodist
churches Joined with evident hearth
ness and love. Truly it was the house
of God and his children sat together in
heavenly places. 'If we walk in the
light as He is in the light, we have fell
| lOwship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from
all SIM
