In the Sanctum Last Sunday
MUCH sIOKNEss-MAEY DEATHS
Personal and General Happenings


With but few exceptions all of our
churches had large congregations last
Sunday and some very able discourses
were delivered:
At the Ebenezsr Baptist Church, the
services were very ACCEPTABLE snd on
the usual high order. In the after
noon the Lords Supper took place and
an enjoyable time seemed to be expo
rienced by all.
At the Fifth Baptist Church, Rev.
M. A. N. Shaw flied the pulpit at
IL 80, also preached q short but very
able sermon in the afternoon. 1t be-
ing the occasion of the Lords Supper
this sacred rite was explained in q
very graphic. forclble, plain and con-
vincing manner. Such as we have new
er heard before. The discourse in the
morning was from Numbers IL :2o.
The text was reasoned out very logi-
cal, clear ana instructive. Rsv. Shaw
is very eloquent speaker with Igracs
snd ease, and will take rank with best
pulpit orators. Our only regret Is that
so few was present 10 hear him at the
morning service. Rev. Shaw snnounc-
The. Fifth Church assisted Rev. Shaw
in his work by very good after col
lection.
At the Second Baptist Church, ex-
cellens services were held during the
entire day. Revs. u. d. Lewis. d. D.,
e. n. Grandson, d. D., and Tart filled
the pulpit with great acceptability
preashing very logical and profound
discourses.
On last Monday night, Rev. DIR.
Grandson lectured at the same chure b
on the subject, whats to matter
with Ssmbo." The doctor delighted
and enlightened his apprecistive au-
dience much, and handled his subject
mastery 1t was rich treat for all
and especially those who like TO hear 9
scholarly le;turer.

Deaths Mrs. Woolfolk's funeral took
place at the 9Th Church on last We'd
nesday week. She was faithful old

Her place was filed in the Sunday

lesson. Though very old she would
contend for her ideas of the scripture

most learned. Her example was
most commendaDle one. MAY he
