SUNDAYS RELIGIOUS SERVICES

Three Good Meetings Were Held During
the Day and Well Attended
Messrs. Thomson and CANDLES time
was pretty well occupied on Sunday at
tending to the religious services of the
day. Union services we're held at the
M. r. church in the morning and after
noon and large audiences on both oc-
caslonS Were present to hear the gospel
proclaimed by the earnest evangelist.
n the evening the church contained a
fine audience. Before the regular ser.
vices began short time was spent in
singing familiar hymns led by Mr.. Gam
BILE and his large choir of singers. A
collection was taken to help defray the
expenses OF the meetings. Mr.. Thorn
sons sermon was on this text, BE not
deceived: God is not mocked for what
soever man sOweth, that shall he also
reap The text opened up an avenue
for some excellent points which the
evangelist covered with strong argu-
ment for one 10 purge himself of the
seeds of iniquity sown in early youth
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Thorn
son made strong appeal for the un-
saved to declare themselves on the side
of Christ and righteousness, ana in re-
sponse five people arose and gave their
lives to the Savior.
The meetings will be continued until
next Thursday in the Nj. Il. church
when they will be transferred to the
Baptist church. Mr. Thomson stated
that it was the desire to devote Thurs
day to the Lord and request was made

their places of business during the
hours of 10 and II in the morning, and
between 3 and 5 in the afternoon and
also to remain closed after 7 in the ev-
ening. Services will be held in the

WILL HAVE A CREAMERY,
Champeny Bros Begin Work at Once on
Their Creamery Building.

For the past two months an effort has
been made among farmers and business
men TO get creamery started in this
town but it has been uphill work owing
to the reason that sufficient money
could not be raised to warrant the di-
rectors of the cooperative company to
go ahead with the enterprise, and they
did not feel like binding the company
with heavy debt to begin with. At
this juncture, when it seemed that the
creamery idea was about to be aban-
doEed for the present at least, T. M.
Champeny arrived here from Sussex.
