our old workers in the State. but all the
parishes are soon to take new leaders,

GRAND RAPIDS.
DR.. Fluhrer has now gotten we'll SET
tied in his new home in Albion, N. T.,
but he directed the matters OF his old
parish so that no break has occurred in
the Sunday services. Several men OF
power and character have supplied the
pulpit and it is soon expected that the
new pastor will be settled.
BAY CITY.
Rev. G. E. Tucker, the pastor here, is
to take journey to the Mediterranean
coasts. He leaves Feb. 9th and will be
gone two months. During this time his
pulpit will be regularly supplied.
PENNINGTON.
Rev. G. P. Nash, who has been at work
here for the year past is planning on
series of religious meetings which are to
occur the first week of February. He is to

PORT HURON.
The pastor, Rev. H. N. Couden, has
just returned from a short visit to his
old homes in Massachusetts,. General

A recent bazaar and supper given by the

LAPEER
Rev. H. L.. Thornton has had busy
season thus far this winter having had
several new enterprises started in his
own society and many calls from the
outside upon his time. We imagine that
reflected honor comes to this society
from the prominent reelection of judge
j B. Moore of this city, Judge of the
Sixth Circuit District Of the State, for

is man in whom justice and mercy
meet in perfect union, man noted for
his eloquence, geniality and pure charac-

ROCHESTER.
The work here is steadily strengthen

for this parish. Rev. Messrs. Goodell,
Thornton and Nash have preached re-
