The people of Wilmington will long re-
member with gratitude Mr.. Gales meet
ings. The meetings were we'll attended
throughout, and all listened with rapt at
tention, as in his straightforward and
kindly manner Mr.. Gale presented the
gospel truth. Miss Rice's messages in
song were also an impressive feature of
the services. As regard results, not so
much was visible on the surface as in
some cases, but it was season of serious
thinking, deep heart-searching, and earn
est questioning, and we believe the re.
suits will tell In time to come. Several
however manifested a purpose to follow
Christ,and others to live more consecrated
Christian lives. Mr.. Gale left here for
Sanford, Maine, and we all wish him God
speed In his work.
We are very glad to be able to announce
that the literary and debating society will
open the season next Monday evening
with debate on the following question ::
Resolved, that the life of our late presi-
dent, VIM. Mckinley, as soldier, patriot
and statesman, will be of more benefit as
an example to the rising generation, than
those phases of his life which showed his
attitude in his home, and his Christian
virtues" Other entertainment, such as
singing, reading, reciting, etc., will be
provided. We are unable at this time to
give the names of the debaters, but will
say that no effort will be spared to make
this event interesting and instructive.
These debates were we'll attended and
very much appreciated last winter, and
