SABBATH SERVICES.

Ar THE METHODIST.

Al The
Children's day was fully observed. The
church was decorated very deliberately for
the occasion.
Selections of vocal music were very eff
fectively rendered by the Sabbath school,
a quartette of young ladies and the church
choir. Miss Alice Hodges recited the open
ing address very handsomely. The pastor
preached children's sermon on the words
THE Lord God is a law" Much of the
sermon was evolved from the children them
selves by questions from the pastor. Each
child was presented with a handsome card.
In the evening there was concert, which
proved of a very interesting character. In
the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Bradlee preached in
Eureka Hall.
AT THE CONGREGATIONAL.
Children's day was appropriately observed.
The floral decorations we're unusually fine
and arranged with much taste. The pulpit
rail was fairly embowered IN banks of grace
full ferns, while in front of the pulpit was
mammoth floral bank, made up mostly Of
tulips and white lilacs. Over this bank was
hung picture illustrating the sermon. Rev.
Mr. Steele preached, taking for his text
Mark 10: IA. "Suffer little children to come
unto me-" He also read a selection from ST.
Mathew and the text OF letter from Martin
Luther to his son. In the evening there was
q concert.
Ar THE FREE BAPTIST.
Mr.. F. Z. Freeze of Lewiston, preached,
taking for his text John XIII, II: IF ye
know these things, happy are We if ye do
them" There were three portions to his
discourse, knowledge" obedience.
Felicity" being the subjects treated Of.
Ar THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
The pulpit WAS supplied by Prof. Smith
from the text Heb. XII. %: "For he had re-
spect unto the recompense of the reward. ;
The preacher divided the sermon in several
divisions: lst, Moses character partrayed
by the words of the text. End, Christians of
to day should be governed by the same
principle that governed Moses, 3rd. The
influences that these words should have over
our lives.

We feel it a duty to again remind our read
ers of the high character of the concert to be
given in Granite Hall on Thursday evening
next. 1t is so rarely the privilege of our
people to listen to real artists and to ENJOY
a concert of real excellence that we wish no
one to miss this opportunity. Mons De S've
the great French violinist. who's first appear
auce in our city this will be, was first brought
to notice under the royal patronage OF
Isabella, Queen of Spain. The genius which
first won for him this high recognition mas
won for him rank with such artists as Will

need hardly speak, but during her three

pearance here. her voice has increased IN
compass and sweetness. and she is now one
of the leading sopranos of that musical city

is a comparatively new one, it has rapidly
won its way into public favor. II Is no hgn'
venture to bring such talent here and trust
to the generosity of our people for support

Winthrop was never more torn up with
joyful excitement than on Friday night after

ana are now known and favorHbly known

IN Washington. This very acquaintance
and experience gives them power and
prestige independently of their ability,
and to replace them now with new
men would be very absurd and indeed
suicidal on our part. The same thing is
true of Louisiana. She is strong in Con

with our own delegation in point of

throw away their strength in the House
by sending new and inexperienced men
up to represent them constantly. 1t is
unfortunate for the South that some sec
tons will continue to take that view of
the matter. The strongest men in Con
gress to-day are not the abest. They
are the men who have enjoyed the long

NEW MEN For CONGRESS

The Missouri Democrats are having
tough time this year over their Congress
sional nominations. In two out of three
districts, 50 far Now men have been
nominated, and in the third the conven-
ton adjourned after 100 ballots without
being able To make selection. The
two men who were retired, MFs, RS,
COsoRovE and FYAN, have only served
one session, and the third, DAVIS, whom
the convention did not renominate, ha,
just reached position after four or five
years service where he could begin 10
be really a useful member of Congress.
The others were given no showing al
all, for no man on earth can do anything
In Congress nowadays in one session OF
one term. In one term he win not even
get acquainted with one-half the mem.
bers of the body of which he is a mem
her.
Local causes and questions of which
we know nothing, may have determined
the retirement of these men, but If no
special objection TO them existed. and
they were turned out merely to give
somebody else a chance, the action was
very grave mistake on the part Of our
Missouri brethren. II a man is sent 10
Washington at all, common sense and
common justice ought to keep him
there for two or three terms at least, or
until he has shown what Is in him,
whether he promises woll for the future,
or is dismal congressional failure.
Before the war the South sent able
men to Washington and kept them
there. In a few years az n result the
southern mon, in experience of public
affairs, familiarity with legislation and
readiness In emergencies, far over
reached the New England and Northern
representatives who woro being con-
stantly changed. II didn't take the
Yankees long to learn the trick, how
ever, and since tho war they have turn.
cd the tables on us. They now keep
their men In Office until they become
Legislators Of large experience.
Until recently the South has been
changing its representation with each
Congress and has suffered greatly in
consequence in point of experience,
reputation and familiarity with current
Legislation. Most Of our Southern
States are however now getting
back TO first principles and
recognizing the fact that the longer a
real good man stays in Congress the
more powerful, influential and useful he
becomes, not alone 10 his district, but
his entire State and section.
