flowers. The congregation was large and
a most excellent sermon was preached by
Rev. c. T. A. Pise. which impressed ell
hearts with the sacred truths sought to be
inculcated. This able divine always gives
food for thought aud the edifcation of the
soul. The choir had arranged progra m
of music that was rendered with charming
effect filling the soul with sense Of praise
and thanksgiving.

and everybody present felt gratifed that
they had heard this truly grand sermon,
Rev. DIR. Bachman, at the, Presbyterian
church, Sunday morning, preached the
first OF his series OF sermons that he has
come to our city to deliver. The church
was full and the sermon was potential in
the simplicity of its delivery and the sweet,

sive power and logical reasoning In the
presentation OF Gods word. His know-
edge of the Bible is wonderful. A truly
grand preacher in the holiness OF thought
and purity and conservation of his life. His
sermon at night was to an immense con-
gregation. The singing was extra good

The solo by Mrs J. II. Patton Sunday
morning was enthusiastically praised by
every one who heard it. Her voice il
