The Second Baptists are now
making preparations to enlarge their
presen: structure in order to accomo-
date the large congregation which
attend services there every Sabbath.
Last Sabbath was their grand rally
dav and the amount in cash added to
their building fund was a little over
$50. Under the leadership of their
efficient pastor, I. L. Ward, late of
Clinton, Mo-, we predict that the
members of the Second Baptist
church will be occupying tn cir new
structure before the golden days of
Autumn shall have come.
Rev. J. w. Wilson, pastor of the
A. M. E. church, took trip to Kan
sas City, Mo-, Friday evening, and
his pulpit was filled by Rev. Binkly

North Topeka Notes.

Mr.. James A. Lee, aged 20, died
Tuesday Morning at the residence of
his father, Thomas Lee, after an i'll
ness of eight days. The funeral SER
vices were conducted by the Rev. P.
w. Barker, at the Second Baptist
church, Wednesday evening at 2
o'clock. Mr.. Lee was one of our
most active young men, being highly
esteemed by both young and old.
His moral character had merited for
him many friends, both on the North
and South side. His death has cast
a gloom upon the society of young
people, which will only be worn off
by time He was a member of the
Second Baptist Church, of North
Topeka, having protested religion
one year ago, during which time he
has proven himself to be faithful
Christian. He was unable to leave
any remarks regarding his death for
he was speeches. two days before he
died, yet we feel no doubt that he is
at rest. Besides his many friends, he
leaves father, one brother, and one
sister, his mother having died sever
al years ago. We extend our sym
patty to the bereaved family in the
loss of their dear and faithful son,
James.
