Thanksgiving services were held at the
Christian church In this city Thursday, the
Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian congre-
cations uniting with the congregation of that
church. The pulpit was prettily and appro-
priately decorated with grain, fruit and flow
ers, and over the arch of the pulpit were the
words 20, give thanks unto the Lord,'' in
large letters of evergreen. Revs. Talbird.
Leyburn, Poage, the pastors Of the two Ger
man churches, and the pastor of the Chris
tian church at Atchison, Kansas, occupied
positions in the pulpit. The music was led
by Capt. j. D.. Conner, and was very fine.
After reading by DR.. Talbird, and prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Poage, Elder Blackwell preac he'd
the thanksgiving sermon. 1t was eloquent
and instructive from beginning to end, and
the large audience gave him their undivided
attention. 1t was well calculated to excite q
spirit of prayer and praise for the unnumber-
ed blessings we enjoy as a nation and as
Individuals. At the close a collection for the
poor was taken, to be divided among the four
congregations above mentioned. The doxol-
ogy was sung by the entire congregation, and
an eloquent benediction promo unced by Rev.
g.. l.. Leyburn, and the audience dispersed,
feeling that sit was good to be there"
