At THE CHURCHES SUNDAY.

Sunday in Ocala was almost a
summer day, in consequence of
which there was large number of
worshippers at all the churches.
BAPTIST.
The revival services at the Baptist
which were conducted by DR..
Arthur Crane, the international
evangelist, drew to close.
DR.. Crane preached, perhaps, three
of his strongest sermons on that day,
the one in the afternoon being direc-
ted especially to men.
His morning theme was the "Price
of SOUL" and in the evening he
preached on "MOral Suicide"
At the close of the evening service,
a great many of those who had fol-
lowed him during the weeks services,
babe him farewell and wished him a
God speed ia his work of reformation.
EPISCOPAL.
Those who wOrshipped at the Epis
cOpal church were rewarded by
hearing two very fine sermons by the
new rector, Rev. Henry w. Little.
Mr.. Little is growing in popularity
and the members of his church are
more and more delighted with him
and it is believed that he will build
up congregation that will make the
building of new and larger church a
necessity.
METHODIST.
The Methodist church services
Sunday were unusually interesting.
The Sunday school in the morning
had special exercises in the interest
of endOwing chair in the Southern

dowment fund.
The pastor, Rev. Howard Dutill,
preached able sermons both morning

ing The Work of the Holy Spirit in
the World, >" in which he showed how
the spirit had ever been in the world
convicting sinners, not only the out
breaking ones, but also the mOralists,
but that great condemnation was
upon all who rejected the spirit. The
evening sermon was on "The Work
of the Holy. Spirit in the Church,"
showing the spirit to be the only true
power and guide of the church.

Izlar; and a reading by the leader,
showing how poor boy was con-
verted and began work with a mea-
gre salary in a soap establishment in
one Of the large cities, and how he
adopted the 1.-THE plan of helping in
religious work, and prospered so much
in business until he gave great deal
more than what the 1.-THE plan called
for, he having risen in the factory
from hireling to partner and finally to
sole proprietor, this person being none
other than William Colgate, the soap
manufacturer of world wide fame.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. and
Mrs. J. K. Wilson were received as
