pretty little edifice in Holly Beach

pleasing to all present. Rev. Alfred
Smith, ID. D., of Dover, Del, delivered
two excellent sermons, one in the MORN

Mrs. Bessie b. Larkin, of Germantown,
the spirit-filled soloist, sang number
of selections which were appreciated
by her hearers.
A goodly sum of money was raised
during the day through the efforts Of
the pastor, Rev. w. l.. King. The
collection at the morning service was
little over 800, and at the evening
session about halt that amount was
realized. This church has done, and
is doing, under the pastorate of Mr..
King, grand work, and is worthy Of
the hearty support accorded 1t.
