Last week the people of Logan en-
joyed a series of religious instruction
which it does not often fall to the lot
of towns in western Kansas to receive.
Protracted efforts have been held in
the vicinity and much good has been
accomplished, but it was reserved for
our little city to enjoy for a week of
nightly meetings the ministrations of
pastors from neighboring towns which
were greatly enjoyed. Through the
influence of Rev. A. T. Cnmbow pas
tor in charge of the NJ. e. church, the
services of these ministers of the gos-
pei were secured, and the week was
one of great moral influence for the
cause of Christianity. On Monday
evening, the general prayer meeting
was well attended. Tuesday evening,
Pastor Baker of Lenora, preached the
iniatory sermon from Isaiah 18th chap
ter, 9Th verse, Seek We the Lord while
he may be found, call ye upon him
while he Is is near" 1t was one of
the best of the course, well delivered,
logical in thought, fruitful in topics,
and holdig the audience in rapt at
tention. Tuesday evening, Rev M. j.
Bailey of Marvin, occupied the pulpit
taking for his text, Job, 34th chapter,
33d verse; Should it be according 10
thy mind? he will recompense 1t,
whether thou refuse or whether thou
choose: and not I: Therefore speak
what thou knoWest" The theme sub
mission to the plan of salvation as
laid down in the gospel was fully
and the speaker eVinced
good reasoning powers. The subject
was brought home to the minds of all.
Wednesday evening, Rev. j. p. Allen
of PhIllipsburg, who is we'll and favor
ably known in Logan, delivered a ser
mon from LIST Epistle of John, Sd
chapter LIST verse; Behold what man
ner of love the father hath bestowed
upon us that we should be called the
sons of God" The discourse was
of the man, a sincere
argument for the truths laid down in
the text. A most important subject
candidly treated. Friday evening.
Rev. w. X. Loofborrow of Kirwin,
discoursed to Il large audience from
LIST Timothy, LIST chapter 11th verse;
According to the glorious gospel of
the blessed God which was commit
ted to my trust" The theme was the
glorious gospel. The preacher was
evidently at home with his subject,
and presented TO his hearers his de-
auctions in an able and practical man
ner. But the best wine was reserved
for the last of the feast. The visits
of the Presiding Elder are always re-
garded as peculiar season of refresh
ing; Rev. E. w Allen of Norton, who
occupies that position, is eminently
happy in his relations with his minis
terial brethren and is highly respect
ed by the me4sbers. His sermons
were characterized by that fervor of
spirit and earnestness of purpose, pc
culiar to the Methodist faith and were
very acceptable. Rev. A T. Cumbow,
the pastor in charge, is an untiring
worker and an efficient minister, and
this season of intellectual ability is
largely due to his efforts. Wherever
his lot may be cast, the people of Lo-
gan will follow him with tender recol-
lections and regards.
It is rumored that the Logan Re
publican about the first week of April
will change to a 6-column quarto.
The father of VIM. Schaubel 1t is
