SPEECHES.

Most excellent services were held in
all our churches last Sunday. Many
OF the seats that have been vacant dur
ing summer was filed by the return of
friends who have been on their vacs-
tiOn while many loved ones are yet
absent.
At the River View Baptist Church on
last Sunday good services were held
all day. At IL: $50 the memorial exer-
cises were held in honor of Miss Helen
r. Jackson, the missionary, took place.
A very large, earnest and appreciative
audience. Excellent addresses were
made by the pastor and several others.
At the 9th Baptist Church Rev. C. 8.
Coleman preached q grand and edify-
ing sermon from the text, And His
name shall be called wonderful" 1t
was ind ed a profound discourse.
At $3.50 Rev. Nj. A. N. Shaw filled the
desk. His text was "a sower went
forth to SOW" The discourse wss one
of the most profound, thoroughly logi-
cal, electrifyiTg in effect, with all
plain and clear in delivery. 1t was q
mastery effort in expounding the
parable of the blessed Christ.
At $3.50 it as expected that Rev. @.
s. Coleman would preach again but
for some cause he failed to appear and
the pastor gave his people a splendid
sermon.
On Monday night the church held
mt mortal services in respect to The
memory of the faithful work of Miss
Helen r. Jack son, the mis- sionary, who
died August 9th, 1898. The exercises
