Life is the test of faith, how sad and
severe is that test at times to us all.
Elder Sheafe was called upon to say the
last words over the remains of little
Geo. Johnson age three months, and
Monday morning early the good angels
came for Brother Geo. Garvin, be had
lived the life therefore he could trust
his God, he was stranger here, be
leaves q wife and two children ages Is
and 10 years. What can be done to
help those that remain to help them
selves, we must do. Bro. Moses Davis
made all arrangements for the funeral,
and all aid that is given for this purpose
will be banded to him. The fair OF 80
is over, the people have attended in
good numbers every evening the pro-
ceeds have passed our most hopeful ex-
pectations. The committee, woman like
have done nobly, self sacrificing, honest
work, doing in every respect just as
they agreed. The flag presented to the
Cadets was rather more than they ex-
pected. The committee is as good as its
word. We feel greatly indebted to the
ladies for the great work they have done
and the manner of it's general aspect.
What shall we render to this noble band
of Women, for the work they have done?
The sleepless nights nights, the worry,
care and responsibility. We can but
render our sincere thanks, and words
cannot express our appreciation of their
work. Aiuller account will be given of
the fair later. We enter again into our
regular order of work, Monday evening
the literary society meets, Tuesday the
choral club, Wednesday the Bible class
and teachers meeting, and Fiday prayer
meeting. We are all tired but let us
not stay at home. Sunday service as
usual, those that heard the choir last
Sunday night may expect to hear still
better in tue future, every effort will
now be made to get ready for the har-
vest of souls, pray for the showers OF
blessing. Last Sunday Elder Sheafe ex.
tend d thh right hand Of fellowship to
Sisters Sarah Cooper and Elizabeth
Flemming.
ST. JAMES A. NJ. E. CHURCH.
At the conclusion Of the sermon last
Sabbath, while the people sang, "Come
to Jesus" four peniten:s came forward
and knelt at the front pew seeking Jesus.
Services did not conclude until 3 O'Clock
| words cannot describe the glorious time.
Let every member and all who will be
present next Sabbath. The Sabbath
evening services drew out many stran-
gers. Let overy body come. There is
room for 900. Tie church is for the
people. No difference what yonr posi-
ton in life may be, the church is for
you, you helped to pay for it and you
are welcome. Nothing is ever said to
wound the feelings of any, the Gospel is
preached to the people and not at them.
| We want you to come and hear and see
for yourself. The church has been a
| benefactor to the community. Come
and see the good order, the close atten-
ton paid by the hosts of thoughtful,
earnest people who go. Joshua Davis
left Tuesday for Monmouth, Ill.,, where
he now resides. After visit to some
twenty churches throughout Illinois and
Iowa, he says he has found none to
compare with St. James. The we'll
dressed congregation, the impressive
service, and the spiritual power. Rev.
Henderson received turkeys enough to
last month.
