The woman's missionary society OF
the Presbyterian church held their an
nual praise meeting Tuesday, March II,
in the church parlors. These meetings
are always Of special interest, and this
one was worthy Of particular notice.
The report OF our secretary, as we'll as
the contents of the thank Offering envel-
opes, which amounted to $3.50, show
grow iEg interest in this work. Inter.
estinR papers and good music furnished
an enjoyable program.
DR.. Wolff, who has lately been called
to the passionate of the Presbyterian
church Of Madison, preached his first
sermon in this city last Sunday. The
church was full both morning and eve
ming, and the large audience listened
with attentive interest to both of the
excellent sermons. The morning theme
was, "Intercessory Prayer" and was ad-
dressed especially to Christians, while
the evening discourse, "How Shall We
Succeed" applied more to the entire
congregation. All who heard DR.. Wolff
speak on Sunday, and also those who
have met him during the week, are en-
thuslastic in his praise.
Rev. j. Y. Ewart, a former well-be-
loved pastor Of this city, whose depart
ure a few months ago was regretted not
only by his own people, but by many OF
the best citizens OF Madison in the
other churches, once said in q public
meeting Of the patrons of our schools,
that when children returned from school
the first day under q new teacher, pa
rents instead of inqulring, "How did
you like the new teacherY" should say to
the child, "Have you 80 conducted your
self that your new teacher will like
you?" Parents and teachers alike we're
quick to admit the truth Of that state
ment and it is just as applicable to the
relation OF pastor and people. How Of
ten when a minister begins work in a
new field, Is the inquiry heard on all
sides, SLOW do you like .he new pastor?
when the people ought to be making in
quiries as TO whether they are doing
their part in the work Of building up
the church."
A public reception was given DR..
Wolf last evening in the church, which
was largely attended not only by his
own people but by other congregations
as well. Addresses OF welcome were
made, representing various departments
OF church work. Mr.. Neill spoke for the
session, Miss Pryne for the Sunday.
school, Miss Clark for the Christian En-
deavor society, and Mr.. McClenon for
the church. Rev. A. G. Blackman of the
Baptist church, Rev. J.P. Jenkins Of the
Methodist church, and Rev. w. j. Cleve-
land of the Episcopal church, each gave
his own welcome and that of his congre
CATION to their brother IN Christ and co.
laborer in the vineyard Of their common
Lord. Gen. Beadle, president OF the
State Normal school, extended q well
come in behalf of that institution, say
ing that as the pupils OF the Normal
school come from all parts Of the state,
by influencing them, DR.. VOLTS iuflu-
ence would be felt throughout the entire
state. When DR.. Wolff arose to reply to
these words of welcome he was greeted
with applause, which was redoubled
at the close OF his most happy
response. The choir furnished approprl-
ate music, and the Aid society served q
light lunch in the church parlors From
the expressions heard on every hand, we
judge that the church has been most
fortunate in it's selection of q pastor and
that DR.. Wolff will be q power for good
in u community.
