A Pretty Marriage-PsrsOnals and Briefs

Last Sunday was rather chilly and q
damp and has continued SO for the :
greater part of this week OvereOats
and wraps have been pressed into ser
vice. |,
Our ladies looked quite charming
in their fall attire the men weren't
left that is. those who have prepared
for "hswkin."
Doubtless the Indictment weather
was the cause OF our churches being
not so we'll attended as usual. The
River View Church and SuDday-school
held most excellent service last Sun
day.
At the Galilee Baptist Church the
brethren are holding on to the horns OF
the altar and are greatly encouraged
by the ministerial aid of several young
aspirants to the pulpit
At the Second Baptist IL 80 large
crowd was present, ind excellent
preaching by the pastor, Rev. ID.
Lewis. The sacred rite of baptism was
administered to three persons--Miss
Maize Jones. another lady and an old
gentleman.
In the afternoon at 3 80 another
large and interested congregation par
took OF the Lords supper which was
very impressively administered by the /
pastor The hymns and short speeches |
seemed to have been filled with spirit
and zeal which characterized true
christians
At the 9Th Baptist Church at III 80
Reverend IL. Powell, pastor, preached
another of his strong, clear, thought
full and logical sermons, reasoning out
his text with great force and oratorical
power.
At 8 80 Reverend Miller preached
soul-stirriny and earnest sermon which
marked him as a thinker and student
of sacred history.
!. At $3.50 Reverend A. J. Smith of
}, Louisa County, Va, filled the pulpit
k and labored earnestly to impress has
/ hearers. There was fair crowd all day
and the collection very good consider
Y ing it just after grand rally OF the
|. previous Sunday.
:. 5th Church Sunday-school pupils,
x teachers and officers all seemed on the
8, drag last Sunday, all late and seemed
D, to be void of true interest ; but from
)f what we saw at the teachers meeting
V, on Tuesday evening last. doubtless the
r work will be carried forward with
tie geater zeal in the future.
" Stop wire-pulled, and encouraging
A. strife, seek after peace within your
! midst, love God do right and you will
10 find friends TO help. The explanation
te of the lesson by Reverend Powell wat
pointed and clear and the superinten
questions very clear. We want the
young ladies Ito bestir themselves anC
~ do work for Christ, the great head o
the Sunday school.
