the evening was the Second Coming of
Christ" in which the leader presented
the order of events from Bible references.
The chairman of the prayer meeting COM
mittee believes that what McCook needs
is a revival of Bible study, not Bible read
ing, mind you. To this end are these
cottage prayer meetings being conducted.
That they have awakened a number to
see the necessity of better Bible study is
a fact known to the committee. Some of
the thoughts and references connected
with the subject handled at Mr.. Brinton's
are startling, to say the least. On Mon
day night another meeting was held at
the residence of ]. S. LeHew, at which
this same subject was taken up again at
the request of some interested. 1t is
probable that a good many meetings in
the future will be devoted to this import
ant subject.
The Christmas programme of the Bap-
fist Bible Study School will be something
out of the regular order. On Sunday
morning the school takes up for study,
instead of regular lesson, a special Christ
mas lesson. At the close of the morn
ing's lesson every scholar in attendance
will be presented with an appropriate
book. 1t is hoped that all scholars will
be in attendance and be there on time.
On Christmas (Monday) night there will
be given a stereopticon entertainment
with a lecture by D. l.. Mcbride. All
scholars of the school and their parents
will be admitted free, all others will be
charged an admission fee of ten cents to
defray expenses. The slides will be of
views illustrating that part of the life of
Christ which the school have been study
ing for past four months. A great many
of these views are photographs of famous
paintings. Programme begins at 7:3o
sharp. Come early to secure a seat.
Supt. Watson and Assist. Supt. McMil-
len of the Baptist Bible Study School are
trying to arrange a Bible Study Institute.
The various pastors of the city have given
the scheme their warm approval and it is
hoped that an organization may be per-
pected soon. The object of such a move
as this is, briefly stated, to familiarize
christians and others with the Bible, its
history etc. There can be no doubt but
that such an institution is greatly needed.
The ladies of the Baptist society desire
to extend their warmest gratitude to the
friends who so kindly assisted them in
the conduct of their worlds fair social:
To the A. o. U. w band for their excel
lent music. To Rev. H. H. Berry for his
valuable services as auctioneer. To Mr..
James McAdams whose generosity per
mitted the use of the store room free and
to the public for their liberal patronage.
Masonic hall was filed, Sunday night,
to hear Bishop Graves, who delivered a
truly earnest and impressive sermon, on
that occasion. The Lords Supper was
celebrated according to the beautiful ser
vice of the Episcopal church. Bishop
Graves has many admirers in McCook
for his straight-forwardness and jealous
simplicity.
