Sabbath Schools well attended, consider
ing the fact that it is the first Sunday af-

fortunately fall off slightly, Immediately

evening. -. Rev. Hendrickson had
good congregation at Baptist Church to-
night. ..... We believe the colored Bap-
tist Church has not been finished yet. =.
What strange things get into peoples
heads, sometimesl A night or two ago, a
man who had lived among churches for
half lifetime, and was formerly good
member, was arguing, vehemently, in a
business house that a certain church
ought to go down, because there was a
man in it "who lied" Suppose our friend
should refuse to go where there were any
imperfect people. Where would he go?
There are bad people who sometimes go
to Church-but there are a great many |
good people who also go there. Bad peo-
pie seek good place, occasionally, but |
good people rarely seek bad place.
