At THE CHURCHES SUNDAY.
a Beautiful Day. Large Congregations
and Splendid Sermons

Sunday was perfect day Inc
weather was cool, bracing and de-
light full, and in consequence large
numbers attended divine worship in
the different churches in this city.
Rev. c. C. Carroll, Mr.. Warren's
successor at the First Baptist church,
preached his initial sermon 1t was
short but delightfully."- impressive and
ives most pleasing to the large con-
gregation present.
Before the delivery of his sermon
he had ''heart to heart talk with
the members of his church, and while
he said he could not hope TO take Mr.
Warren's place in their affections, he
would strive to do so as far as was
possible, and it would be his constant
effort to not only keep the church in
the splendid condition he finds it, but
would sedulOusly endeavor to add to
its membership and its unification.
Mr.. Carroll also preached To a very
large congregation Sunday night,
the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches joining with the Baptist
church in extending him a grand and
cordial welcome.
Dr. Carroll preached from the text,
But GOD forbid that | should glory
save in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by whom the world is cruel
fed unto me, and | unto the world"
found in the fourteenth verse of the
sixth chapter of Galatians bespoke
pressively. He has a strong voice
and a good delivery, breaches with
out notes and seems to be entirely
consecrated to the work of the Mas
ter, and our Baptist friends are 10 be
congratulated on having such an
earnest, devoted and splendid preach
