Rev. J. II. Lockwood. ID. d., district
superintendent for the district of Kan
sas of the American Bible Society
preached an able sermon in the NJ. +.
church last Sunday morning to a
crowded house. In the evening he
held mass meeting Ofall the church,
es in the Baptist church of all the de-
nominations in town. The church
was full to OVERLOOKING and great in
terest was manifested. At the con-
clusion of his address he reorganized
the Allen county auxiliary of the
Kansas district of the American Bible
Society with officers from the differ
ent churches.
At the asst meeting of the Minister
ial Union it was decided to ask the
/ business men to close their houses at
7:30 p. M, every day except Saturday,
in order to give clerks and employers
little time for recreation and to af-
| ford all who desire to do so an oppOr-
! tunity to attend the evening religious
services. Most of the merchants we
believe, think 7:30 is too early, but
proposition to close at o'clock would
probably meet with general accept
ance. If all would enter into the
agreement then no one could make
any complaint, aud the town would
do just as much business. v
