The Missionary Institute, which has
been in session at st. Johns churcn
during the past week, has been a de-
cided success. Strong sermons have
been delivered, and number OF able
papers read. The opening sermon by
Rev. E. o. Watson was received very
fayorably indeed. When a boy the

charge of this circuit then; eleven
years ago he returned as the pastor Of
this church, so his visit at this time
was a great pleasure to all Methodists
and to his other friends. Rev. j. l..

night, and found in the signs OF the
times much Of promise. His theme
was "Thy kingdom come" Rev. r. E.
Turnipseed made a good impression
tonight. DR.. Weber, Of Yorkvile, Is a
welcome visitor to the city and Is at
tending the institute.
