the pastor. Rev. ]. H. Henderlite returned to hll
his pulpit on last Sunday. By reason OF illness Ill
his family he spent several weeks in Norfolk, va
and then went with them to the mountains for rest
and recuperation. Not only did this congregation
which is the kindest and most indulgent to be
found cheerfully bear with this prolonged absence
but while gone the pastor was reminded OF their
unfailng goodness of heart by check for hun
dred dollars. The pulpit was filed most acceptably
on two Sundays, by the Rev. Carr Moore, OF War
renton, and Rev. l. N Loftin, pastor of the South
Henderson Baptist church Our church enters
upon the work of the fall and winter hopefully
and auspiciously The congregation is earnest and
united. Six members were received by letter
on last Sunday. The Sundayschool and prayer
meeting were regularly maintained in the absence
of the pastor, and the societies of the church are
undertaking and larger work. The church
and Sundayschool room have just been thoroughly
fitted up with electric lights which add much to
the comfort and attractveness of the building and
some substantial improvements will be added to
