harmless in spirit.

There were eight persons baptized
by the pastor of the Methodist
church and thirteen received into
the church Wednesday night of last
week at the close of prayer meeting.
We suppose there were not less than
100 people at the service. 1t was
an interesting impressive service.
In the seven months of his pass
torate the Methodist pastor has re-
ceived between sixty and ninety
persons into the church, and yet we
trust that the great harvest of the
year is yet to come.
The congregation at the Metho-
dist church was not so large as usual
last Sabbath. We suppose the hot
weather and attractions at other
churches kept the membership away.
The sacrament OF the Lords Supper
followed the sermon. 1t was largely
attended and deeply impressive.
Drs. Goss and Manget assisted the
pastor.
Rev. Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Mat
tox, have been conducting a revival
service tor some days at Olinville.
We love to meet and greet such
revered aged men of God as Rev.
Drs. Baker and Hunt. They are
about the same age-four score.
Both gave the strength of their
manhood to the ministry, both have
lived many years in our midst; they
are without reproach and blameless.
They are walking just on the verge
OF the better world. In few days
more and they will cease to work
and to live. God bless these dear
men and fill their last hours with
sunshine, untouched by shadow.
Our Presbyterian friends were
greatly favored, last Sabbath in the
visit and pulpit ministrations of one
of their most choice preachers. He
filled the pulpit Saturday morning
and through the Sabbath. The sac
rament followed the morning SER
mon. The attendance was good
and all the services impressive and
profitable. We trust that this large
and influential congregation will
find, at an early day, a pastor to
their mind.
Rev. Mr.. Pise, Episcopal Rector,
is taking a strong hold on his peo-
pie. He is a true man of God and
an earnest working pastor. He will
at an early day take up his quar-
tiers at the Rectory, where his
friends and members will readily
find him. The morning and after
noon services of the past Sabbath,
were well attended and profitable.
The afternoon service is held at 5
O'Clock. The Sunday School has
been changed to the mourning hour.
At the Baptist Church the Sab
bath services were of the usual high
order Intellectually and spiritually.
Congregations were about as usual.
We are glad to know that Rev. Mr..
Wynne is growing and charging
with his people. Subscriptions to
the new church are coming in, in a
gratifying way. The Young Work
ers are doing good work. Mr.. W.
w. Springer was elected president
at the last meeting. @Since the Sun
day School was changed from the
afternoon to the morning hour, a
decided Improvement in attendance
is seen. We wish our friends great
success on all lines of work.
The Olinville meeting will be on
all this week-services at night on
ly.
The Methodist Sunday School
class of Mr.. w. L. Sessions won the
banner in their work for the last
quarter. The hours OF this Sunday
School las been changed from 4 to
4:30 p. m.
The Methodist Christian En-
deavor Society will meet at Mrs. II.
A. Dunwody's Friday night.
Rev. DR.. Jones was an attendant
at the Presbyterian Church last
Sunday.
