The venerable Rev. W. A. Dove, whose
presence has been SO ardently expected
lies in bed grieviously afflicted. Fifty
years of unremitting service in the min
istra have exhausted the once iron con-
stitution, the victorious hero of a thou
sand hardships at last bends the knee
to the approaching Monarch who is
mans conqueror. There are few men
of the race who have brighter history
for unselfish devotion to the church,
than has the belovhd man of God, Fa-
ther Dove, Rt. Rev. J. M. Brown ex-
hausted by the most aaduous labors of
the past year lies sick at his home. Per-
haps no bishop on the bench labored
more and achieved as much last year as
did this indomitble prelate before
whose tireless energy aud burning zeal
the west has been made to blossom as
the rose. Over the Galillee door in the
church in letters of fadeless green is in
scribed the constant prayer of the peo-
pie in his behalf. "God bless our Bish-
op."
All members of the church are mott
lied to be present Sabbath, the rules will
be read, and the New Year will be pre-
pared for.

AS education is the influence of one
person over another, so christian educa-
ton is the outflow of that influence, from
one who owns in his or her life the
power of a christian faith. What pow
er it is! 1t changes one all through,
puts light where darkness was and love
where enmity used to dwell. We
thank God for it's Transforming power.
The last Sunday in the year of 1889,
be sure you attend each service, and let
us ill the house as it has never been be-
fore, not only with our bodily presence,
but pray earnestly for the Holy Spirit.

Pilgrim Baptist church wishes The Ap-
PEAL Happy New Year. Our wish is
that you may still goo and with the
new year make greater progress. The
old Welch brother spoke of three kinds
of progress, he said there is progress
forward, there is progress backward,
and there is progress standing still.
Progress of the latter kind is like that of
the canal boat in the lock- The door is
shut and the other door is open and the
water comes pouring in, you may think
the boat is not making any progress, but
by and by we find the boat has reached
higher level and it pursues its onward
course. May this be the progress that
The APPEAL for the new year shall make.
Tone up and bring the people up also,
and your success is assured. We want
you to be power among the Colored
people of the Northwest
