space in your paper; which the writer
| finds in nearly every house in this section,
to visitor to express the delight and
pleasure received in seeing for the first
time the grand mountain scenery of

afternoon. On Saturday, Sept. 4, birth
day party was given by little Helen
Thompson to her schoolmates and friends,

Barton Landing. There were a large
number of clergymen from the surround

cellent education, fine abilities, devoted
nothing but Jesus Christ and Him cruel
fed" The sermons were practical and
excellent, the exhortations appropriate,
and the altar meeting deeply interesting.
