welcome to attend are services
Come in the morning and hear the
programme for the day
1tis a matter OF great interest to
us and will be TO all whose hearts
are in our work to know that last
sabbath morning we had one Of, if
not the largest attendance ever
known at a regular service in the
church Chairs were brought in
until all the available space in the
auditorium was filled. Our purpose
always is to get good and 60 do good.
May the Lord be glorided as thus
we endeavor to Worship and serve

unto us, but unto thy name give
glory, for thy mercy, and for thy
truth s sake.
It was a very great pleasure to
have Mrs. Recht Of New York city
and who is stopping at the Bluff
House sing for us last Sunday. Her
popularity is unquestionable as we
recall how many people come to
hear her. We are very happy to
have made her acquaintance and to
have had the pleasure of listening to
her.
We are conscious at the present
writing of the near approach of the
end Of our summer season, The
thought brings both regret and
pleasure. We regret to have to
part with those who have so agree
ably affiliated with us in our work
While we dreaded the coming of
strangers within our gates at the
beginning of the summer now we
are very loath to part with many
who have brought us blessings as
they have helped us bear our mutual
burdens and shared our mutual
christian joys. But still there is al
so a pleasure in it all. ut has been
good for us to be here. Pleasant
memories and delightful fellowships
make the part of a journey after
these have been relinquished all
the more enjoyable. So we shall
"go forward" pressing on toward
the mark for the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus"
Let us ali bear in mind the ap-
proach of our next quarterly com
munion service which occurs the
first Lord s day of September. This
is always a holy season. Let us
give ourselves to prayer for the ex-
tension of the kingdom and that
those who may be added to the
church shall be of such as shall be
saved. There are some who did
not join us last communion but
whom we hope may come this time.
Please inform the pastor of any that
you can think of who might come
and if that person is thyself be sure
not to delay to let him know your
intention at once.
The Sunday school days outing
and picnic has come and gone. The
attendance was small when we con-
slider what it should have been. We
are very grateful.to those who sent
their teams and who did their part
in any way TO make the day enjoy.

Next Monday morning the pastor
expects to take the boys brigade
out to Twin lakes for two days out.
ing The purpose of this expedition
is to give the boys a little expert
ence of camp life and to perfect the
organization of military company
The boys are doing very nicely will
their drills and will soon be ready
for the manual of arms. We thinl
that here is a splendid opportunity
for someone who might be literally
disposed TO give or aid the boys il
securing their outfit OF uniforms
and guns. A comparatively small
sum would do it and the towr
would reap a benefit in both pleas.

The pastor was sorry not to hav,
been able to attend the Methods
