st. Andrews church is to observe Sat
urday, St. Andrews Day, by celcbra
ton Of the Holy Communion at 1886
a. IN.
There was union service at the Soutl
church on Sunday evening, when Miss
Ipcy NJ. Wheclock and Mr.. Henry 7
Bailey of Boston spoke to the congrega
ton. and especially the Sunday School
teachers. Miss Whcclock gave many
useful hints regarding the manner III
which reverence, religion and righteous
ness can best be inculcated i'll young
children, and Mr.. Bailey demonstrated
what a power the blackboard and cray
ons may become in slilful hands for the
exposition OF scripture truths. Both adj
dresses were much enjoyed, and will
doubtless bear fruit among the Sunday
School teachers who had the privilege OF
hearing them.
Henry r. Bailey Of Boston, state su-
pervisor of drawing in Massachusetts,
occupied the North church pulpit last
Sunday morning, andga an instructive
address on the comparison between the
physical and the spiritual man The
physical man demands good air, good
food and good exercise. So the spiritual
man demands prayer, the word OF God
and service.
As Sunday, Nov. "a, was recommended
as Temperance Sunday throughout the
world, the day was appropriately OBJ
served in several of our churches, either
by a sermon oraddress to the children.
The sermon OF Rev. L. T. Fairbanks
was bascdon the Mosaic law that bat
Element should be put on the root OF the
house for the safety Of those who should
use it. The principle Of kind and humane
legislation has been from that time in
use and is wise and necessary. The ser
mon had special reference to the prohibit
tory law on our statute books so long
ago and so carefully put there as safe
guard and a prevention Of evil, and
which the people Of the state have thor
oughly approved Of. 1t was urged as
the duty Of all to see that it is well main
tanned and made to do its effective and
wholesome work. There are various
principles OF wrong against which we
need to put up our barriers i'll private
life and character and when we do this |
cflectualy our strength may become so .
great that outward safeguards will be |
less necessary. The whole sermon was a
very vigorous and hearty contribution
towards a heightened and Christian
sentiment for temperance and good
order.
At the session of the North church Sun
day School last Sunday Miss Whcclock
addressed the younger members Of the
school in a very interesting manner.
The Junior Christian Endcavor Society
of the North church gave supper and |
entertainment last Monday evening in
the church parlors. The entertainment
consisted of Mother Goose rhymes illus
trated. Miss Katherine Bingham and |
Miss Mabel Carpenter had charge of the
entertainment, the latter impersonating
Mother Goose About 30 young folks
participated in the entertainment, and
Frank II. Brooks sang two OF the Mother
Goose melodies, The young folks realized
about $12 from the affair, and will send
the money to Mrs. Steelc's home in Chat
tanooga
"The Model Woman" will be the topic
