Yesterday was ,isio her grand day ut
Uuion. The days iNeryices opened at 0
o'clocs. A. n with u service of prayer and
testimony, led by Bro. Shewbrook A
gracious hour TO all who were led by the

younger class. 1t WAS indeed blessed
thought to SEQ Sd many of the young, re-

Lambs of the flock near by the great
Sheppard, that all might at lat gain an
admittanoe to tie eternal fold of God.
Following the receiving of this large
number into full membership, was the
hour to the children Of God An hour in
which the soul In remem brnnce Of
what Christ did for its dellyoranco, was
drawn nearer and still nearer It's Divine

!. ..Nearer my God to thee,'' as sung by our
most excellent choir, and illustrated by
richly suggestive paintings, on the canvass,

to the threshold of glory. Brother Hanna
earnestly invited all who had a desire to

in an after meeting, which was quite
