Suffolk. Va, March 24.--Rev. L. P.
Bransford. of Danvllle. who has been
conducting services at the Main Street
Methodist Church all this week, will
preach three times to-morrow-at II a.
IN. and 7:i5 p. nj. The afternoon SER
mon will be for men, but ladies are in
vited to come, as nothing will be said
to offend the most refined. The rever-
end gentleman says he never uses Ian
guage that would be inappropriate in
the most refined parlor, and he thinks
that any minister who does so steps
down from the high plane which he
should occupy. Mr.. Bransford is a
powerful preacher and is uncompro-
missing in his denunciation of sin and
an advocate of thorough work Of
grace in the heart. Unregenerate
church members are preached to with
as much earnestness as outbreakinG
sinners. The meetings will continue
throughout ncXt week and Mr.. BranS-
ford feels assured OF n gracious out
pouring of the Divine Spirit. Services
were held tonight, Il large congrega-
ton being present. The sermon was
very fine, his subject being walking
in the Way Of the Ungodly'
NEW SHIRT FACTORY.
