vice Of Song--Nunn's Farewell.


-
Church services on Sunday we're we'll
attended, both morning and evening.
AT the Presbyterian church in the
morning, Prof. Hyde, of the Denver Uni
versity, preached to a large congregation,
his theme being st. John, the Evange-
list The sermon was full of thought,
and contained material enough for several
%discourses. In the evening the professor
took for his theme THE Son of Right
eousness." Prof. Hyde is a profound
scholar and a deep thinker, and his SER
mons were attentiyely listened to by the
congregation. In the morning Mrs. j..
G. Pratt sung a beautiful solo at the Pres
byterian church, which was one of the
best things In the musical line that has
occurred at that church for a long time.
Miss Estellc Bullock led the young
peoples meeting at the Congregational
church in the evening. The attendance
was very large.
Rev. Samuel j. Mum preached his
farewell sermon at the Baptist church in
the evening to a large congregation, and
at the close of the sermon addressed a few
words more especially to the members of
that church. Tho membership of the
Baptist church has nearly doubled during
Mr.. Nuns pastorate,
At the Congregational church in the
evening there was a service Of sons given
under the leadership of Prof. W. A.
Whitcomb, which surpassed anything of
the kind that has been given at that
church for several months, and was fully
equal to any similar one ever given in the
city. The church was packed with peo-
pie, and some even were compelled to
find seats in the galleries. Rev. G. NJ.
Sanders, several times during the evening
and as the musical programme progressed,
read portions of the scripture rel tting
more especially to the birth and appear
an e of the Saviour, and made brief but
appropriate comments thereon. The
choir for the occasion consisted of Miss
Louise Kingsley, Mrs. Rees Williams,
MH. Chas. Martin, Mrs. Marsh, Mrs.
Geo. L. Holt, %orOanist, and Mcssis. ".

ingly well rendered and highly appreciated
by the congregation. An anthem was

the finest things in the entire programme.
This was followed with a Duet by Miss

anthem, Sweet Bye and Bye, was sung
by the choir, and both of which we're very
fine. The programme closed with
