The topic for next Sabbath morn
ing is, The Christian and Prophecy
"Watchman, what of the night?"
The topic for the evening is "The
Farseeing Man"
There will be preaching at Union
next Sabbath afternoon.
The flower committee deserves a
note of praise for the very fine dis
play of last Sabbath. The cross was
source of great pleasure to the
pastor who is proud, indeed, to have
so faithful co-workers.
The duet sung at the morning
service by Mr.. Dudley Ryman and
Miss Lily Buchanan has ELECTED
much favorable comment. People
who can sing and who are willing
to sing are a constant pleasure and
source of perpetual service to the
church. Happy are we in having
such young people.
The fair was equal to what we
could expect in every way Finan-
cially it was up to the high water
mark and socially it proved to be a
very genial occasion. The ladies of
the church deserve great credit for
their very efficient work and the
friends from the city who gave us
such royal support have the sincere
thanks of the pastor and church.
One week from next Sabbath
morning the quarterly communion
service will be held. This service is
one of the greatest Importance and
every effort should be made to at
tend by every Christian of the con-
gregation. We have noted in the
past an increase in the interest TAX
en- in the sacramental service and
we trust that this interest may in.
crease still more. Any service that
brings us into such close fellowship
with our Lord as this service can
not be neglected without great spir-
itual loss.
Through the kindness of a friend
from Brooklyn six very valuable
books have been added to the pas
tors library. There is nothing that
a student appreciates more than the
chance to improve his inner life by
way of good books.
1t is with great pleasure that we
express in this column our deep ap-
probation for the gift of $25 that
came from some friends who have
been spending the summer here.
This is a tangible way of expressing
appreciation that is indeed very ac-
ceptable. The cash will soon be
spent, but the appreciation that it
expresses will not be forgotten. It
writes another chapter in the lives
OF the givers and OF those who re-
ceive and a chapter, too, of which
none are ashamed but over which
there is great joy
We were especially gratified at the
goodly number who attended the
services last Sabbath. The evening
service was unusually we'll attend
ed. We will miss the large number
of friends that have been so faithful
during the summer months when
they return to the city, but will be
glad when the time comes that our
own people can again be free to
come to the place of worship.

physician of Panama, Colombia, in
a recent letter states Last March
I had as patient a young lady six

tack of dysentery Everything
prescribed for her proved Intellectual
and she was growing worse every
hour. Her parents were sure she
would die. She had become SO
weak that she couldn't turn over in
bed. What to do in this critical
moment was study for me, but ]
thought of Chamberlain s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
as last resort prescribed it. The
most wonderful result was effected.
Within eight hours she was feeling
much better inside of three days

Is a rare treat. But he sometimes tells
stories that are not bear stories. For
Illustration. here is one of them:
Once when | was In Silver City |

A FUNNY PLAY.
II viii Be at Colombo Hall on Janu
narn 9

uary g..
Not the least noticeable feature of
the polite comedy Too Rich to Mar
ry.' is he fact hat II is a true por-
trayal OF the lives and beliefs of the
sect known as Dunkards.
When Edward Owings Towne wrote
the comedy, he had to draw from a
complete understanding Of the lives
and natures of the religious sect so
well known in certain localities of the
east. Mr. Towne has not in any way
held the beliefs and ideas of that PEG.
pie up to ridicule.. Rather than that.
he has shown the contrast between
their ways of living, and their ideas Of
right and wrong. and the ideas of the
average American with money. and
his ideas Of what is right and wrong.
There is a wide difference. He has
also shown so clearly how the Dunk
ards in their way are well content, and
how happy they would be with the lux
uries Of the millionaire. and of course
everyone knows that vice versa. the
millionaire would be Just as Ill con
tent. This has given Mr.. Towne a
wide scope for his imagination. and he
has made good use of his opportuni-
tics.
This grand comedy viii be seen
at the Colombo hall in a return en-
gagement on Wednesday, January 8.
