Pastor Bruce on small Dust.

The Rev. William P. Bruce, formerly pastor
of the Greenville Reformed Church, Occurred
in the Wayne Street Reformed Cnarch last
night. His subject was Small Dust., He
told how great things grow from small ones
and of the way all wonderful inventions
started from tribes and were gradually worked
to completion. He said that church work
was just that way. He urged his hearers to
lend all assistance possible to new church
orders SO that they would grow into great
bodies of untold influence for good.
