Church. There was no way OF reaching the
church then but by walking, and have seen
nearly all the streets of the city when they
were mud holes in the winter and almost
dust heaps in the summer. We are called the
Fifth Church, while in reality we are the
fourth in point of age. When we organized
there were four Baptisr churches in the city
the First, Second, Z Street, and Thirteenth
Street. The Thirteenth Street Church after
ward was joined to the First, SO that leaves
US number four. Now there are twelve Bap-
tist churches, with nearly 5000 members.
These churches last year contributed over
SSS,000 for church purposes, the Fifth placing
in the treasury nearly S6,000"

been wonderful in temporal affairs as well as
in the church. The trying times before and
during the war were hard on US, but we have
large measure of prosperity to be thankful
for. Our only drawback in the Fifth Church

AIbiuO Bats.

''If you wish to know the most curious
thing 1 saw during my vacation, it was coll
ony OF white bats" said an Arch street artist,
just returned with others from a sketching
tour along the capes of the Delaware. ''One
day we found in the woods a deserted old hut
with huge chimney, which we were told had
been an illicit whisky still, and we made it our
headquarters and slept there one night.
Judge OF our surprise when, at twilight, We
saw numbers of white objects huttering In
the air over our heads and identified them,
from their manner of flight, as bats. We
traced them to their home in the delapidated
