We the people of Bethesda Baptist
church, feel that the LORD has bless
ed us greatly during this year as
well as in the past. We are getting
on smoothly notwithstanding the
clouds of sin and sorrows which
sometimes gather about us. Ne
can but thank God for the success
We have made
We feel and believe he has been
mindful of us. Last Sunday, 14th
inst. according to appointment Rev.
t. Nj. Allen, OF the blchmond Theo-
logical Seminary, preached for US
both in the morning aud at night.
Rev. Allen delivered sermon sun
day morning from John LIST. chap
ter and 9Th verse. The sermon was
both instructive and impressive.
Sunday night was for the benefit of
our missionary society which is con-
nected with the church. He preach
ed from King 7:9. Rev. Allen is an
able divine. We hope to hear him
again at Port Walthall.
After the sermon at night an
essay was read by Miss hebecca
koache, member of the society,
subject; 1.-The Missionary Society
as one OF the Means to Evangelixt
the World to Christ. The essay
was well read and showed much
thought on the part of the reader
The reading of the essay added much
splendor to the days services. The
essay showed the progress of Chris
tian development, it also showed
that some of US are working tC
reach the topmos round III the lad
der, in doing work for Christ w,
trust that the Master may continu,
to help and strengthen us, that W,
may do much in sending the Gospe
to that dark benighted land-Africa
and other heather lands.
No people could wish a bette
leader than our pastor Rev. w. II
Brown. He is a man with a gentl
christian spirit, and deserves homo
and respect from all around him.

The news OF the death of Sitting
Bull and his son is a source of great
rejoicing among agreat many Amer
lean citizens and OF regret among
Others. It is unfortunate that he
was murdered by his own brethren,
in that it suggests that they were in
troduced TO slay the brave chief on
ly TO shift the responsibility which
the government might sooner or la
ter assume. To have accomplished
the death of so distinguished war
rior through the medium of emissa-
ries did not display that bravery,
strategy and magnanimity which
has hitherto been characteristic OF
our national soldiery. The death
of Sitting Bull has however deter
mined the fate of the Indian. He
