VILLAGE CHURCH INTERESTS.

N1LLA0E CdObCa 1NTEhESTSs
The congregation at the church here,
last Sunday morning. exceeded In num-
Der any of the previous Sunday mornings,
this summer. During the service, Mrs
D. T. Wilson Of Brooklyn, N. Y, o
guest of Hopkins house, Lakeside, rem
dered fine solo in her usual perfect
manner Mrs Cogswen was accompanied
as the organ. Rev MIR Pangburn In his
sermon gave more definite understand
ing of "Being filed with the Spirit"
than in his sermon the week previous of
s.The Holy Ghost" His illustrations
were most apt and especially the last one,
concerning the conversion of a poor fal.
len girl of Mulberry street, New York
City, called s''Biuebird, drew tears from
the eyes Of several of his listeners. We
think as Mr. }Pangburn's ministrations
here continue, interest In him seems to
strengthen and although he has. not as
yet accepted the call to permanently re-
main as pastor here, we hope he will
most seriously consider the matter be-
fore giving an adverse reply. -
