Rev. Sandy Alexander addressed
the Bethlehem Baptist Sunday school
at 10 a. m. last Sabbath. His instruct
i've remarks were attentively listened
to by his young hearers. He paid the
school high compliment upon the ex-
Cellent order maintained. Rev. Alex
ander is the organizer of the first Bap-
tiSt church in this village, of which
church Rev. Edgar Banks had pastoral
charge. At II. 80 the reverend gentle
man occupied the pulpit in the absence
of the Rev. Jos. Matthews.
r. E. Ford, of 225 Pomeroy street,
conducted religious exercises at the
evening service upon the text, "What
is man, ETC." He founded an eloquent
sermon, which greatly edited his
audience.
Miss Bessie Moss, whose rapid i'm
ure by her friends, is still quite i'll. The
hot weather of the past week is with
out doubt the cause of her relapse.
Miss Blanche George has returned
from New York, looking much i'm
proved by her trip.
We are glad to notice that Master
Walter Mckenzie is quite successful as
a coach painter. Some of his work
would do credit to a veteran artisan.
He is mostly self-inStructed and de-
serves credit for his skill and energy.
Mrs. Smoot is quite i'll at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Wills.
Mrs. Benz. S Stewart has been
called to Norfolk, Va, on account OF
the sudden death of her mother. She
has our profoundest sympathy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas, of Sheridan
| avenue, are nearing recovery.
Visitors to HillSdale Station church
have had occasion to speak of the very
unkind treatment to which they have
been subjected by certain young per-
sons who attend this church. These
young girls make the most annoying
remarks concerning strangers, their
language at times being most object
iOnable. The church officials dislike
to resort to extreme measures but
they fear that they may be forced to
make an example of some of these i'll
hammered youngsters. Their names
are known and unless their parents
take steps to cause a diScontinuanCe of
the annoyance it is more than likely
that some of these youths will find
themselves in the hands Of the police.
Meetings at this place have heretofore
been most orderly, and we hope that
never again may we have to notice
such misconduct on the part of the
youthful offenders The pastor and
officials are deeply grieved and justly
indignant.
Master Clarence Taylor, of Sheridan
avenue, last Wednesday afternoon
celebrated his second birthday with
great festivities among his diminutive

Henry Dorsey Henson and George
Butler are among the children who
have been i'll during the recent hot
spell.

the person of Mr.. c. w. Davis, who

ruling device. 1t has not yet been
placed upon the market.
The Willing Workers Club of Beth
lehem Baptist church gave lawn
party last Tuesday evening, at the res
idence of Mrs. Annie Scott, Nichols
avenue. The grounds were brilliantly
lighted and the attendance was all
that could have been desired. Music
was furnished by the Orion orchestra,
which is a guarantee of its excellence.
The members of the arrangement COM
mittee deserve much credit for their
successful management of the affair.
