More heat was experienced in this
section on last Sunday than any pre-
ceding Sunday this year. Being over
come by heat, many iof our people
sought the coolest places around their
houses, and made themselves content
ed, consequently the churches were
poorly attended.
At the First Baptist Church Rev.
Walter II. Brooks preached an excel
lent sermon, after which the pastor
baptized four candidates.
The services at the Moore st. Church
were well attended, and a very fine SER
mon delivered by its pastor.
Meetings were held at the grove in
the West End. They were conducted
under the auspices of the Third 81
Baptist Church. Quite large crowd
ATTENDED.
The services at the other churches
were excellent, but the crowd was not
very large.

corners OF our streets for sometime

ed. On last Sunday night while in the
West End, we saw corner lined with
chairs occupied by enthusiastic sis
ters and brethren listening at a SER
mon being preached to them.

broken pledge of her husband. Hus-

think there would be any marriages
this month but we are glad TO know
