miles east of Oakland and about
three miles from the top of the great

point than there is from any station
in Garrett county, except, perhaps,
Hutton, which is the shipping point
for the output of the Preston Lumber

work was appreciated. They heartily

lessons; Geo. w. Moon conducted the
Sunday school and he selected Daniel

and Geo +. Bishoff as teachers.
The topics were nearly all taken up
and many valuable truths brought
out of them.
On account of the absence of some
of the speakers part of the topics
were passed by.

subject "Our Complete Redemption

while he presented the subject: 1.-The
Unreached Masses What to do to
Reach them" | cannot see how any
one could listen to his statement of
the large number of persons that do
not attend church services and the
dangerous ground they occupy and
then not try to be instructed from
Gods Holy Writ and obey its teach
ings. The solution to the latter part
of the subject What to do to reach
them" if followed or brought into
practice by those who attend Divine
worship, as given by him, would
bring about wonderful change in a
very short time. 1t is summed up in
few words: Careful living and also
to approach the uninterested ones in
the right way.
