SHEFFIELD

The Congregational church was we'll filled on Sunday evening with attentive listeners while Miss E. W. Greenwood preached a very earnest evangehstic sermon from Pilates question, "What will you do with Jesus?" The quiet, close attention given by the audience witnessed to the interest felt. Miss Greenwood always holds her audience to the end of her discourse. Mrs. Smith, president of the Sheffield W. c. T. U. had charge of the evening service. On next Sunday evening Miss Greenwood will speak in the Methodist Episcopal church, and we trust that every seat will be filed for her theme will have an added interest. We learn that on the evening of August 9th by special re- quest Miss Greenwood has consented to deliver her famous sermon upon ''Twen- tieth Century Truth" in the Congrega- tional church. That is the sermon which she delivered before the National Convention of the w. 0. T. U. ill Port land last year. It was pronounced by all critics at that convention the most remarkable sermon given on that oc- casion. We hope our neighbors in Ca paan will come up to these services.
