Elder Halls Sunday evening meeting
was largely attended by village residents
and outsiders, and was by far the most
successful meeting we have had here for
long time in point of numbers. The
elder preached a strong doctrinal dis
course from Isiah 35 10, upon the sacri-
flee, Vicarious atonement and the means
of redemption from sin from the biblical
stand point. However others may differ
with him in his theological views, all
respect his opinions from his known sim
certify and Christian character. His points
were well taken and strongly backed by
Bible authority in the many passages of
scripture he impartially quoted. His dis
course was listened to with strict atten-
ton and was satisfactory and pleasing to
the believers. We hope that this COM
munity is based upon that broad and
liberal ground that invites clergy and lay
men to its desk without regard to sect,
denomination or creed, any and all that
preach religion, temperance and morality.
Roswell Town had a narrow escape
from instant death while at work in the
saw-mill. He stepped upon plank
which tipped up and let him into the
wheel-pit below while the gearing and
machinery were in motion. In his descent
his head came in contact with the end of
board which turned him from his down
ward course and was the probable means
of saying his life, as the direct and per-
pendicular course would have landed him
into the wheel-pit where he would have
instantly been crushed by the rapidly
moving machinery. His face is some
what bruised and gives Ros. the appear
ance of slugger, but he bears the Attic
ton with becoming fortitude and looks
upon his misfortune as a blessing in dis
guise as the means of his earthly saliva
ton. Moral: 1t is the good that die
early that Sabhath-school books are writ
ten about.

demand. About forty ladies, gentlemen

mittee was appointed consisting of S. G..
and E. B. Town, to solicit subscriptions
and attend to the necessary preliminaries
to carry on the good work. Said COM

A memorial meeting in honor of
General Grant was held at the church
Sunday evening. Notwithstanding the
short notice the auditorium was well
filled. The exercises opened with a
voluntary by the choir, followed by the
reading of scripture and prayer by the
pastor, after which were remarks by
R. w. Hulburd, G.. S. Page, H. M.
Mcfarland and others. The addresses
were of course eulogistic of the dead
general. While the speakers did not
consider him an ideal man in every re-
spect, they drew from his life many
suggestive thoughts, touching on his
remarkable abilities, his wonderful
achievements, his unprecedented adj
vancement from the humblest to the
loftiest of positions, his record as a
soldier, and his magnanimity over con-
quered enemies. 1t was very inter-
esting throughout and fitting tribute
to the memory of the grand old hero.
