The attendance at all the church.
es last Sunday was unusually good,
the beautiful summer weather no
doubt added something to the re-
suit. Rev. S. A. Jameson preached
in the Presbyterian church, in the
absence of the pastor: The regular
pastors had charge of the services
IN the other churches. At the Epis-
copal church in the evening, the
choir was aided by the solo work of
Mr.. Claude Mackenzie, whose sing
ing was, as usual, much enioyed.
At the NJ. E. Church in the evening
the choir gave one of their special
song-services. A large congrega-
ton was present. With the reap
pearance of the sidewalk and the
advent of cooler days, the congre-
8
will doubtless increase.
Kew. Mr.. Rydell, the newly ap-
pointed paster of the Swedish NJ. E.
Church, comes from the Pacific
Coast. He will no doubt find this
to be much cooler climate, but a
short experience among our citi-
zens will prove to him that they are
possessed of warm hearts, and
large ones.
At St. Paul's Church L. I. Belden,
N. A., rector, will conduct morning
prayer and sermon at Hoo O'Clock.
Evening prayer and sermon at 7:3O
o'clock. Ladies' Guild meets Thurs
days at o'clock.
The usual services will be held in
the Methodist church next Sunday.
In the morning at II O'Clock the
pastor will preach especially to the
boys and girls, his subject being
"What, Why When and How" The
parents are also cordially invited to
attend this service. In the evening
the pastor will preach on "The
Faith That Saves" Strangers and
the public generally are always
welcome at the services. Epworth
League meets at 6:45. This is a
service specially for the young peo-
pie, and all ouch are cordially invit-
ed.
Rev. DR.. Cuyler, the great New
York preacher, has said: "A we'll
built Christian is harmonious in
all his parts. No one trait shames
another. He is not tumble of in
consistencies-today liberal to one
cause, tomorrow niggardly toward
another; today fluent in prayer and
tomorrow fluent in polite false
hoods. He does not keep the
fourth commandment on Sunday,
and break the eighth on Monday.
He does not shirk an honest debt to
make huge donation. He is not
in favor of temperance for other
folks and glass of toddy for him
self, neither does he so consume
his spiritual fuel during revival
seasons that he is as cold as Nova
Zembla during all the rest of the
time"
Rev. L. I. Belden is absent in Du-
luth part of this week in attendance
at the meeting of the Duluth Dean
cry, of which he is the secretary and
Dr. Ryan the president.
Rev. G. r. Oaten will leave on
Monday for Crookston, MIMI, where
he will attend the meeting of the
Northern Minnesota Conference,
which will be presided over by Bis
hop Walden. The Conference opens
on Wednesday and will last week
or ten days.
The Choir of St. Paul's Episcopal
church has been thoroughly organ
lied. Mr.. J. J. Booth, so favorably
known in local musical circles, has
consented to take the dictatorship
of this new organization, and that
is sufficient to bespeak thorough
and good work. Mr.. Belden in
formed us this week that it is the
intention sometime in the future,
to make it vested choir.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, has a
grandson he is very proud of. The
other night his mother went into
the nursery to kiss him good night
M've come to hear you say your
prayers, Harry" awe done said
