of interest, the Sunday services being ex-
ceptionally gratifying. The day was fair
and good congregations prevailed. Rev.
Robert Watt. pastor of Scott Church, in
Wilmington, preached, both morning and
evening, and his sermons were much ap-
preciated. He is a good preacher, his voice
and pulpit manner very pleasing and his
earnest words could not fail to impress his
hearers. The collection was one of the
most interesting features of the Sunday
service and the people evidently found it a
means of grace to give literally. Eight hun
dred and fifty dollars was the amount raised
to defray the expenses of the recent i'm
provements. etc. The beautiful day, pretty
church, good services and the untiring ef-
forts of a faithful pastor were sufficient
cause for a generous thank offering and |
the full amount desired was raised |
