Tues AZ night last regular wind
storm aud hurricane pass over this
section-the oldest inhabitants re-
member no such. Whole bic cks of
houses, nine in "A row, were unrOofed
small houses. fences, signs and Chin
neys blown down and trees uprooted.
A slight damage was done to 9Th
Church roof, and fence blown down.
Streets were blocked with trees; but
no one was hurt SO lar as known.
Last Sunday was a pleasant balmy
day except a light rain about O'Clock
The church people were looking bright
and fresh. The several churches were
well patronized.
Rev. u. d Lewis of Second Baptist
Church, preached a strong, clear and
forcible sermon at $3.50 m. The
Reverend was seen last week in this
section looking after his wandering
sheep. He seems quite jealous OF their
absence from any service.
At the Moore Street Baptist Church
Rev. II. Powell preached at 3 $50. We
he ard it WAS a sermon that stamped
him as being worthy of the name OF a
preacher.
Rev L. II. Dickerson OF st. Johns
Baptist Church, Henrico, preached for
Reverend Johnson at the River View
mon and was listened to with marked
interest.
We heard that the Galilee Baptist
Church has become very fond of Rev
w. j. Smith and his voice is often
heard there pointing them to the Tree
of Life.
AT the 9Th Church Reverend Powell
is not only holding his own but gain
| ing ground on the Devil and forcing
his satanic followers TO the rear. The
Reverend preached on christian An
dience." His reasoning was founded
on true christian principle, advancing
many new and logical points, which
places him far in advance as a thinking
preacher
At 3 80 Rev. F. Davis gave quite a
smooth but instructive sermon on the
christian eating and drinking with
sinners. He charged ali to let their
light shine wherever they be. Rev
Reason Wilson who had recently re-
turned from Philadelphia arose and
among other things stated that /. was
a burning shame To see how many OF
our young people b 9TH men and wo
men carry on when they go North tc
work.
At $3.50 Reverend L II. Dickersor
preached from Ps. 104 90, with great
lcare and earnestness. The Reverend
compared the life of christian or lik.
ened it TO a ship. 1t was a good, his
torical and instructive discourse
They want and must have 81 900 a

4th. At 1880 Rev. X. Wells, choir
and congregation will be on hand. A

His congregation and choir will b.
} present also. We hear that the grand
old Father of Isreal. Reverend JohI

ready with out stretched arms and
heart filled with love to welcom,
Father Jasper and people. If you ex
