After q good rain and few cool
nights, last Sunday .beamed forth
bright and clear, and as the sun rose in
his majestic power, and his bsspangled
rays covered the green carpeted earth
and the trees with their beautiful yell
low tinted leaves dotted over our city
and along the roadwsVs on the suburbs
stood the grand old oaks amidst the
inviting and charming forest. All this
was magnificent to behold, as each
twir looked heaveuwsrd and seemed
happy to battle in the oalmy air amidst
the sweet perfume OF wild flowers and
ieaped into the blue sky, and showed
-obeisance TO Natures God. Amidst
ali these scenes Of gradeur and splen-
dor. many q loved one crossed over the
dark river and joined the host OF an
.pelic spirits that have been u ade
white in the blood of the Lamb while
others fingered in darkness and were
added to the company Of the damned
who inhabits the internal regions
amidst the stormy scenes of unquiet
rest.
At the Ebenezer Baptist Church at
III 80. Rev. George Z. Morris of New
Jersey preached strong, edifying SER
mon which was greatly en1oYed and
highly appreciated. At $50 the pas
tor filed his pulpit and fed his flock
with wholesome food which elevated
both soul and body.
At the Second Baptist Church at
IL 40. Rev. Tart filled the desk and as
..,suaI preached with power and accep-
lance to the people. At 1880 young
divine from Washington, ID. O.. preach
ed a very instructive sermon.
At the 5th Baptist Church, 11:30
Rev. NJ, B. Hucles preached from Ec-
-clesiastes 1918. The text was dis
cussed in an able, clear manner. The
speaker after reciting many historical
paints to prove his text, and why we at
all times should be careful in our ac-
tion and to hear the conclusion of the
whole matter before we fully prepared
to act wisely the discourse was deliv-
cred with much POWER and earnest
-nees and seemed to have been well re-
ceived. At 80 the pastor preached a
,verv forcible sermon to the knights of
Damon which seemed to please them
much. They gave the church 81 20.
At 8: 80, Rev. Frank Davis gave a
very plain, instructive ssermon. Rev :.
Davis does not tie up his words aud
saw so many things on one breath as
acme do, but he can preach the true
gospel by word and live the life of q
Christian gentleman. This is a great
deal more than we can say flor some
who seems by their action that the on
liz purpose at the church is to laugh
and make game. Watch, hell awaits
YOUR fall.
