Who is Vim. A. Sunday9 =.
Very few people ask that question
now for he is known far and wide
as the great evangelist of the time.
Marvellous results have followed
his work il, the many large places
he has visited during the past few
! years. -, =, =..~.' .
AS people come to an appreciation
Of his great abilities and his wonder
full success, more; and more the won
der grows how he was ever secured
for Worthington. But he is q man
that goes where be believes he can
do the most good and in turning
down numerous calls from many
cities three and four times as large
aa this, he has been influenced by
the representations made to him
that the people Of Worthington
really desire revival of genuine
religion. Everybody knows Of Mr..
Sunday too, as one OF the members
Of Capt. Anson's famous base ball
nine in the days when the Chicago
player showed the country how the
national game is played. He is an
all round athlete, of splendid
physique and noble bearing. But
he5is withal an earnest Christian
gentleman. His home is in Chicago
and lie has a, wife and two, children
Of whom he is justly proud.
Mrs. Sunday is greatly interested
lia her husband . work and during 9
part of each series usually aids him,
Mr.. Sunday is still a young man
notwithstanding the fact that
thousands Of people have been con.
verted during his meetings. He il
forty three years old and in the
prime and full vigor of manhood,
Concerning Mr.. Sunday in the
pulpit, the following from the
Kewanee Star Courier will give
some slight idea:
1.-The Preacher in the Pulpit.
To say that he stood in the pulpit
as inaccurate as to say that q
cyclone blew down q chimney at
Grinnell, or that Vesuvius stands
in the environs of Naples. He got
all over the pulpit platform q hum
dred times. Sometimes his feet were
on the ege of the platform, with
his toes projecting over and his
body far toward the audience in a
curve. Like that statue of the div
ing girl, he never dived, although
he came perilously near it.
His left hand was in bis pocket
much of the time. His right arm
swung in a horizontal plane ver-
tical plane and all the oblique
planes. Occasionally both hands
got into action, sometimes together
but generally with one fist pound
ing the other PLAN. His most fire.
quently used gesture was one hands
extending out over tho audience,
apparently to the rear, huud.eds Of
feet away.
Both arms and his voice in high
falsetto were combined in showing
how two excited women hugged
each other land by the way the
people on the 6a':k seats hear every
work Of the sermons as clearly az
did those on the front seats. p"
The people Of Worthington and
vicinity ow have the opportunity
Of hearing the message Of this
/, great man and Of seeing him in
action. t%%=

enjoyed. Mr.. Wise was engaged
last summer with the Jackson con-
cert band which entertained the
crowds at the mineral well and new
park, and his music was one of the
features of the organization, In
the standard of musicians he is a
good performer. In this locality he
is in a class alone. MISS Minnie
Rosson assisted Mr.. Wise with
piano accomplishments, which add
ed to the fine effects produced.
Mr.. Lea Garth sang one of the
bands popular airs, with accom-
paniment. Lea has good vocal
organ and he is always welcome to
Union City audience.
Mr.. Buford Hurt, who has been
in this city for some time, is good
clarinetist. His work, especially
in "Morning, Noon and Night, :"
gave him a chance to exhibit very
fine skill. There are other MEM
bers of the baud who deserve to be
complimented, especially the tuba
player, Ebert Mccullough. The
young man is learning very rapidly
to control his instrument and sue
ceeds we'll in his efforts for express
sion and effect. So also is Coda
Keller learning the cornet. He has
developed wonderfully on that in

with dignity. The business of the
presbytery was interesting and at
times spirited, and at all times in a
dignifed manner.
The two questions of most inter-
est to the presbytery were the pro-
viding for debt on the property at
Obiou and the proposed union of
the Cum berland Presbyterian
Church W 18th the Presbyterian
Church U. S. A. The first was re-
ferred TO special committee which
recommended that the local Board
of Elders convey the title TO the
property to the presbytery and
that the presbytery assume the
payment of the debt and that the
Stated Clerk pro rate the amount
to til lie churches composing til e
presbytery in such way as to place
the burden equally upon all the
membership. The second did not
come so directly before the presby-
terry, but in a general way was
plainly to be observed, and in the
discussion on the report of the COM
mittee on publication it was freely
discussed. Each side was allowed
all the time desired and liberty to
say just what they pleased The
Obion Presbytery is, as it has been
all the time, overwhelmingly OPP
posed to the union proposition.
The commissioners to the next AS
sembly are all opposed to the union
and are as follows: Ministers ]. L.
Hudgins, Union City, and w, A.
Boone, Trenton, Tenn, and on the
part of the eldership, h. l.. Har-
per, RIves, and DIR. f. M. Mckee,
Union City. The alternates are
Rev. r L. Keathley, Rev. ]. A. Nc
Twain and elders Jake Caldwell and
j.. ]. Snyder.
Revs. Il. M. Guide, e. e. Hendrick
and A. S. Johnson were, at their
own request, granted letters of dis
mission. Revs. S. A. Sadler and ].
Fl. Thomas we're received by letter.
Ro. Ellen, Dyer County, was select
ed as the place for the next meet
ing.
The communion service, conduct
ed by Rev. J. B. Calhoun and Rev.
T.. A. Bedwell, was we'll attended
and very solemn and impressive.
These two fathers in Israel are
ministers of marked ability and
held in high esteem by the entire
presbytery. The sermons in the
various pulpits of the city we're
highly complimented by the mem.
bershIp of the churches. The de-
votion which was present through
out the entire proceedings was
marked.
The presbytery missed the face
of Rev. 10 McLeskey and his sweet
spirit and safe counsel. He has
long been leader in the presby-
terry. 1t is hoped that he will soon
be restored to his usual health and
to his accustomed active service in
the church.
The compliments of all in attend
ance were heaped upon the good
people of Obiou for the royal recep-
ton given the presbytery. All left
for their homes declaring that they
had fallen in love with Obion.

The Band Concert.

4A~ AS0AA OOaSNAO
The West Tennessee Regiment
Band gave another one of their
popular musical entertainments at
Reynolds Opera House last We'd
nesday night. Altogether it was
one of the best we have heard by
this band. There was little dis
sonance and confusion in the first
two numbers, but after that the
performance went smoothly. 1t is
very objectionable for local paper
| to criticise home talent. We pre-
sumo that there is room for repara-
ton, yet we do not seek to reclaim
ourselves in saying that the re-
naming numbers were rendered
with artistic taste and effect. The
Morning Noon and Night" and the
medley overture, "Remick's Hits, "
we're immensely entertaining. Mr..
Tate and the entire band deserves
to be complimented in the execu-
tion of the frst-named selection.
1t Is, IN the first place, very popu-
lar band piece and the way the
band handled 1t is worthy of an
older and larger organization.
Miss Wootson Davis sang in bet
ter voice than we ever heard her.
Singers who aspire to achievements
very often fail to discover or try to
overcome their weak points. If
there was ever any dross in Miss
Wootson's singing she conquered it
Wednesday night and appeared to
her friends IN style, somewhat
different and altogether more pleas
ant than usual.
Miss Minnie Brown, one of I'm
ION City's accomplished musicians,
played Miss Davis accompani-
ments.
Miss Leonora Gardner is a good
reader. Her selections are always
pleasing. She is natural and self
possessed and never fails to warm
up the house. When Miss Gardner
is on the program something good
is to be expected.
Mrs. Wheeler treated the audi
ence to vocal selection in French,
Italian, or something of the kind
we we're not close enough to hear
the words. 1t was of the higher type
of music, however, and rendered,
as far as we are able to judge, in a
soulful and artistic manner. Mrs.
Wheeler has voice of velvet and
power. She is capable of very
wide range in the gamut and she
uses her talent with skill. She has
the advantage of many local aspir-
ants ii her ability to be heard in a
lSsge auditorium. There are many
sweet voices OF very little practical
value tor stage purposes, but not
so with Mrs. Wheeler. The encore
was popular song, When My
Prince Comes Back to Me-" by
Mr.. e. G. Ownby, of ris city, |
words and music recently pub
published and commented upon in
a highly favorable manner by the
publishers. The best way to de-
scribe it lies in the most accepta-
bic term, it is very sweet. Mr.
Ownby has undoubtedly made a
hit with this composition. This |
gentleman was Mrs. Wheelers pr
ano accompanist.
Mr.. Wise, the cellist and BARI
tone player, delighted the audience
with his music. The fire of music |
is kindled in this young mans soul
and he pours it forth through his
favorite instruments. His cello Sc
lection was very charming, but his |
baritone work was as thoroughly |
