day morning. Rev T. J. Hanna
preached to large congregation in the

was on the ministry of John the Bap-
fist and Christ, between whom com

awaken practical response, the alen of

during the fall and winter
The programme embraced vocal and
instrumental performances, all of which
were rendered in IA manner mighty salts

last evening.
Miss Anna Bigger sang "Stad-

suited 10 her voice, and which
