Brief Notes About Church Services.
a week Of service was commenced az
the FFiends' church Sunday morning.
The services lasted from 10 to II :i5 O'Clock,
and proved most interesting, the church
being crowded with worshippers. Mt.
David T.. Sampson. "a minister from
North Carolina. opened the meeting sun
day with prayer for the benefit Of the
Church. A most able sermon was then
delivered by Mr.. j. Robert Parker, also
from North Carolina. Mr.. Parker chose
as his text. IF we have not charity, we
are as. sounding brass and tinkling Gym
bale" Immediately following the SER
vice the congregation held business
meeting. The services were continued
last night. and the probability is that
they viii last through the week.
Rev r.. -. Collier is holding services
every morning and night this week at
Highland Springs Baptist church. Rev.
VI. Arson will aid the pastor. Elec-
tric-cars run 10 the church, and Rich
