Rev. Joel Brown, of Des Moines,
ian evangelist of the Christian church
preached at the Baptist church on
Tuesday night. This religious body
is very strong in the middle west,
but is only beginning work in South
Dakota. Mn. Brown has been es-
ltablishing a church in Hot Springs
and we learn he met with splendid
success at that point. We had the
pleasure Of meeting him personally
and found him to be a strong man
of great physical and mental vigor.
His sermon on Tuesday night was
based on the prayer of Christ for the
unity of his disciples and was force
full, eloquent and pathetic. He seems
master of his subject and audience
and, if expression of approval may be
taken as an index, he will on his re-
turn be greeted by large audience.
