Our church has met with an irrepara-
BILE loss in the death of Deacon Alfred
Robinson. We miss him from the choir,
from the prayer meetings of the church,
and from every place, where a good man
is needed In any service to which the
church called him, he was never found
wanting. Firm in his frien lships, true
and faithful to his convictions of duty,
with conservation that brought him to
the front in every good work, he was in
valuable to the church and community in
which he lived.
Eight were added to the church On
confession of faith in 1892, and six have
been added thus far during the present
year, one of whom was by letter.
The congregations have been good
during the summer, greatly increased by
the presence of our summer visitors,
whose coming departure will be regretted
by all. These outside friends cheerfully
Join us in our service, aiding the church
in song and contribution, and in giving
inspiration to our continuance in we'll
