pscked to overlooking. A large revi-
val is being conducted in said church,
while the devils attractions have
lodged in the opposite field

main auditorium of the EheneZer Bap-
fist hurch tomorrow We are told
that this part of the church is a magDi-
hcent beauty.

j. w. Boykin, NhO married Miss Cora
cambridge on last Thursday morning,
preached a very instructive sermon.
At night, we listened to an excellent
sermon preached by Rev. Graham.

the thought that to follow Christ one
must necessarily meet with eros es
this life. After general collection
a collection of So 10 was taken for the
/ Lancaster Orphan Home in North Car
