On Saturday Two very important
questions will be discussed by able
men, and viii 20 every church good
to hear the discussion of these sub
jects.
1. Is True Religion and Christian
Living Advancing OF ReiroSradiug?
Dr.. E. A. Wyman Of Boston will
be with US and give us his views
upon that topic, in connection with
other speakers.
2. How Can We Engage the At
tention of Grown People in Sabbath
School Work?
This very appropriate subject will
be discussed by Rev. C. G. Brown
and Rev. G. NJ. Billings and others.
On next Sunday at the close Of the
Union Rev. C. c. Brown will preach
in the Baptist church at Packsville.
Let me say that the meetings of
the Black River Union have been a
source of untold help to all the
churches in which it has met. The
meetings awaken deeper interest in
church work and is the means OF
erecting a higher standard of Chris
tian thought and living.
It is the duty of every Baptist
church in this Union to send dele
gates to the meeting at Packsville.
Dr.. A. J. White, of Forestcn, posi-
bly, the oldest member Of the Union,
will be there. All will be glad to
shake his hand and to hear him talk
The church at Packsville invites
us to come and bring our friends.
The new Baptist church in Man
ming will be dedicated about the 5th
of July. Various men over the State
are being invited and a meeting of
much interest is expected.
There will be no service in the
Baptist church (the halD next Sun
day, on account of the meeting of the
Union, The pastor expects to be
away.
No services will be held in the
Presbyterian church next Sunday,
the pastor, Rev. James Mcdowell be-
ing away at a mission point. We
trust the Holy Spirit will be with the
great crowd that ought to assemble
in the Methodist church next Sun
day.
ALL who attend the closing exer-
cises of the Manning Collegiate In
stitute next Thursday evening will
be delighted. This school, under
the excellent teaching of Professor
E. J. Browne has been the means of
advancing, not only deep interest in
education, but wider awaking of
morals, and Religion.
When parents are thinking of
sending their children off to school let
them send their children where they
will have the best religious advan-
tage.
The person who got mad be-
cause we bit the dance last week
must have been guilty.
"A Reform" preacher in the
days of the Apostle Paul was called
ga pestilent fellow" "a mover of Sc
ditions, ga ring-leader of the sect of
tile Nazarenes," "a profaner of the
Temple" What would the same
crowd call a true preacher of the
gospel to-day?
The most interesting service ev-
er known in the history of the Bap-
tist church will be at the dedication.
1t is with sadness that we note
the death of Mr.. Horace Walker,
son of our friend and brother, Mr..
B. 4. Walker. Horace was in the
midst of manhood, only twenty-seven
years of age and yet cut down unex-
pectedly to US all. His death is
warning to US all. ''Be We also
