It is with the greatest satisfaction
that we can record so goodly a num-
Der Of the summer guests in attend
ance at our Sunday and mid week
services. The assistance they thus
render both by their presence and
the active part they take is most
commendable. We have always
had faith in Christians whether
they happened to be at home or
abroad and when our faith is
strengthened by these tangible evil
dences we may we'll thank God and
take courage. May the summer
continue even as it has thus far od-
vanced
Several have spoken of the pleas
ure they personally had from the
two splendid solos rendered at the
preaching services last Sunday by
Mrs. Charles Lithgow of New York
city. Music is one of Gods ways OF
touching and helping the human
heart. We very much appreciate
the kindness of those who can and
will assist our work by sacred song
It is with great pleasure that we
announce Mr. Edward Crissman a.
our soloist for next Sunday Mr.
Crissman is a well known singer il
professional circles in New Yorl
city. His host of friends will br
glad of this opportunity to heai
him and others who have not ha,
the pleasure of hearing him hav'
something good in store.
The prayer meeting was very wei
attended last Wednesday evening
but still there were some absentee,
that, while they may be satisfactor
lily accounted for this time, we hop
may not be noticed next week. LIE
these prayer meetings be sustained
during these summer months. No
only come but come to help max
the meeting enjoyable to the fulles
extent. More real good comes fror
these meetings than any one othe
service of the church.
The floral decorations have bee
under the direction, of Miss Berth,
Williamson this month and she de
serves especial credit for the ap
pearance of the church last Sunday
Next Sunday morning the offerin
for the board of home missions wi
; be taken. Please bear this offerin
in mind. Many do not believe i
, foreign missions but do you not be
; lieve that charity should begin q
, home? If so, and you should mo:
certainly, then prove it by liber'
gift to this department of the Lord
work. The general assembly repoi
for the year 1901 shows that 81
was given TO this cause. That
less than fifty cents member an
. we should surely improve upo
r that. Bring ye all the tithes int
the storehouse, that there may
meat in mine house, and prove m
now herewith, saith the Lord {
hosts, if I wih not open you tt
windows of heaven, and pour yo
out blessing, that there shall nj
be room enough to receive it.
Stayed blessings are not becau'
God is not willing or ready to b.
stow but because man is unbelie'
ing and unworthy.
