adjoining Delaware City, will have al
exhibition and concert in the church
building, under the direction Of the
pastor, Lewis T. Roberts, sometime
during the latter part Of March. The
object for which the exhibition Is tC

Roberts has previous to this gotten mp
several exhibitions and they have been
very highly spoken Of.

Bennett is Q candidate before the Re-
publican party as nominee for Coro-
ner. No better man or truer hearted
Republican could receive the nomins-
tion. By saying this l do not mean to
cast any reflections on other good men
Of the party. Mr.. B. has always been
in the front rank Of the party, using
his influence, his time, and his money
to endeavor TO promote its success. He
never faltered in his self imposed tasks,
and am quite sure his services were at
all times appreciated; then let him re-

The protraeted meeting, which Is
still in progress in the NJ. z. church,
has been attended with good results
the past week. To be sure, the mourn
ers' bench has not been crowded, but
some three or four have been there
nightly, several Of whom have found
peace in believing. They have learned
the truth that though their sins
were as scarlet, they have been made
as white as wool by the blood Of this
same Jesus who says: "Come unto me

The rarvest here is plentiful, but the
laborers are few. l would like very
much to have brother Hsldeman CON-

up the sinners and unbslievers to such
a pitch that they would be compelled

The Rev. Dr.Aatlask preached at the
above church last evening, and was lis
tened too with the most profound at
tention. The DR.. as is well known, is
more than an ordinary
preacher Of the word, and those who
hear him once will be glad to listen
time after time to the impressive truths
which he elucidatss in such charming
and pleasing language. During the
after service, two persons were up at
the mournsr's bench seeking light to
guide them on the road to salvation.
