PASTOR sHARP's LETTER.

Rev. w. w. Sharp, pastor Of Wesley
NJ. e. Church, has sent the following
letter to members of his congregation:
Wesley M. E. Parsonage, Sept. 8, 1898.
Dear Friends: The warm weather is
about over, and it is the desire Of the
writer to rally all the forces OF this
church for a Fall and Winter cam
paign, to the end that sinners may
be converted, back-sliders reclaimed
believers strengthened and God glori-
fed. With this end in view, THE letter
ia sent to every family connected with
the church
| desire to see you and your family
present next Sunday and regularly
thereafter, as far as possible. The war
between the United States and Spain
is over. Spain surrendered and laid
down her arme. but the war between
Jesus Christ and Satan is still on. We
want sinners TO surrender to Jesus
Christi Can the Captain Of our sal
walton" depend upon each of us in
Weeley Church to do our part in the
great battle?
May each of us endure hardness as
good soldier Of Jesus Christ" Let us
do something. Let the community
know that we are alive. Come 80 the
help of the Lord, to the help of the
Lord against the mighty" William
Carey once said in sermon: Expect
great things from God" This wac
more than a hundred years ago. Short
ly afterward he was sent as the only
ordained Protestant missionary to In
dia. Now there are more than 1000
His faith was honored-so will ours be
if we expect and attempt great things
for God in Wesley Church. Victory il
sure. Oh for the baptism Of the Holy
Ghost. May He fall upon each of us
and FILL us with the fullness of God,
is the prayer of your pastor,

THE WAR IS OVER

And new our thoughts are all of peace
and home. There are, too often, peo-
pie to be found who have no home, and
II is to them these few words are adj
dressed. II YOU really want a home
you can easily get one, but you should
act at once before the relapse from
the war puts prices on the advance. In
Marinette county, Wisconsin, the very
finest farming land is to be had now
at a most modest figure. Excellent
home markets are at hand to take
whatever the farmer raises, and good
prices are given. These lands are on
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Pau
Railway, and full information concern
ing them will cheerfully be furnished
by c. E. Rollins, immigration Agent
