The BAPTIST CHURCH.-Rev. j. A
Lesley, Of Rlce's, Va delivered ecturt
10 the Young Peoples prayer meeting il
the Baptist Church on last Friday night
rhe theme ofh discourse was, jesus a.
our Model lie spoke of the beauty OF
this model IN the life of Jesus. in that we
see him moving among men AS man. He
awelt Gu the fact that the Savior came
iato the world to do something lie
made SPECIAL appeal to the young to not,,
she significant fact that Jesus ok time
70 prepare himself for his great life work.
1t was no insignificant thing that he spent
thirty years of his life as an obscure man.
loing the work Of common carpenter in
an unknown village. The Savior spent
thirty years in preparing himself for three
years work, whereas We reverse the order
and spend three years III preparing for
thirty years work. His discourse was
quite argumentatiye. his deliberation com
snendahle, his gestures graceful, his lan~
gnage chaste, his thoughts very clea: and
his address; III every way cdify:::y and
instructive. Every young man in tI:e town
and community should have heard it. lie
preached in the Baptist church on Sunday
morning and also at night lis sermon in
the morning was one Of great power, in
which he beautifully and forcerully set
forth some OF the most striking evidences
of conversion He spoke with touching
pathos Of the Christians fellowship with
the Savior, and left in the minds of his
hearers sweet and lasting confidence OF
Gods faithfuiness to his people, The
sermon at night was taken from instances
in the life of Joseph. 1t was short but
full of convincing truth that sin can not
not go UNPUBLISHED. An aroused cons
science, he said. must unbur1en itself.
MIR. Lesley made quite a favorable i'm
preston, and those who hear.l him and
formed his acquaintance will not soon
forget hin.

From the kansas City Indicator.
Wichita seems to be the most -four
ishing aud rapidly growing city OF
Kansas. Already il contains a popu-
lation of $4,000. Ii is situated in one
of the most fertile valleys in America,
227 miles southwest of Kansas City,
and $50 miles west of ST. Louis. Three
great railroad lines connect the city
with all portions east, west, north
and south. and other lines are in pro-
cess of construction.
About five mIics of street railway
are in successful operation all por-
tions of the city are supplied with
water and gas pipes; two and three
story brick business houses extend on
both sides of two OF the principal
streets for several squares: a great
iron bridge spans the river; elevators,
mills, iron foudries, public and private
buildings, and nearly all other inter-
ests which contribute TO make a pros
porous place are found here.
The Wichita EAGLE. daily and
weekly, red-hct Republican, published
BY NJ. NJ. Murdoch 4 Bro, is every
where regarded as one of the ablest
and best papers in the State. No man
