Baptist Church Notes

Rev. Irving n. Darnell preached
last Sunday afternoon at the Rust
school in Summit Lake township
and will presch next Sunday at the
Wass school, south of Org.
At the weekly prayer meetings in
the Baptist church, the pastor is Civ
ing a series of talks on the Beatitudee
as the "Way Of Blessed Life" A cor
dial invitation is extended to strangert
to visit the pray yers meetings and take
part in the discussion, orSto ask quesa
tions.~. Sunday evenings during tht
winter tho pastor will use for sermon
themes and texts. such topics or texts
as have proved to be difficult of un'
Outstanding to the congregation, and
which they will indicate upon slips
provided for this purpose at the regu
lar services. If you have such a one
you are cordially invited to indicate
it so the pastor may touch your trou'
bic if possible.
Beginning Monday, Dec. End, there
will be series of special meetings in
the Baptist church, with preaching
by DR.. R. M. West, of the first church
of St. Paul. DR.. West is favorablJ
known to the people of Wortbington
by reason Of his presence here in the
past, and that he is highly regarded
spiritually may be evidenced by the
fact that he was invited to continue
the union movement last year after
Mr.. Sunday left, being prevented
from doing so only by serious illness.
This man is one who knows God, and
speaks from full experience, some of
of tho things concerning the kingdom
and God has honored in the past the
efforts he has made to inspire Gods
people for service. He has ho "meth-
ods" but breaches the truth with care
and power, and while the meetings
will be held in tho Baptist meeting
house, they are in no sense sectarian,
and all tho people of tho town arc
most cordially invited to sttend and
take share in the spiritual blessing.
There will be no collections for ex.
penses.

+. The second count shows material
change in the standing of several of
the candidates. Miss UIlrich still re-
tains first place, but Miss Sadie Darl-
Ing has been getting busy and has
jumped from 18th to 2nd place. An
other increase like that will likely
place her IN the lead. Other candi-
dates are not idle, however, and it
would be foolhardy to hazard a guess
as to who will lead at the count next
week.
We wish to call attention to mat
ter that has evidently escaped a few,
that is, only one nominating blank
can be counted for each candidate.
. Our announcement last week of
another special prize of IS for the one
making the bes: gain during the sec'
ond 80 days of the conteet has caused
quite stir among the candidates,
and there will be quite race for this
prize. The contest is not yet too far
advanced for new candidates to come
in and capture good prizes.

Meeovern Benefit at PhiIIy.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.- A Monster
benefit for Terry McGovern will be
given tonight at the hall of the Nation
al Athletic club, with every prospect
of realizing a tidy sum for the no lon
ger terrible Terry. Five six-round
bouts between New York and Phila-
delphia scrappers will be a feature of
the snow. Many old-time pugilists
have also offered their services and
Philadelphia fight fans will again be
afforded an opportunity to see Billy
Bocap, the former amateur Lightweight
champion, INK Russell, Mike Donovan
Billy Edwards and others once famous
comedian, is here this week and his
has volunteered to do a turn and re
fierce one of the bouts. "Rube' Wad-

Terry's life. The show has been wide
ly advertised several leading show
printing houses furnishing free litho-
graphs, which were posted without
charge by the Philadelphia local of
the Bill-posters' union. Hundreds of
tickets have already been sold and it
is expected that standing room will
be at a premium, as McGover1 has
many admirers in Sleepytown.
Advices received here from the Sta
mford sanitarium where Terry is now
a patient state that he is aopelessly
insane and that his death is only a
matter of a few months. Those who
have seen MIN recently declare That
not a remnant of his former vigorous
manhood is left and that he has be
come a living skeleton, spending his
days Cabling inc~oherently of his
past triumphs and glories. He does
not recognize any of his former ac-
quaintances Or friends and is a nope
lessly mental wreck. He is said to
be so weak that he staggers when
he attempts to walk. The cost of
keeping him at the sanitarium is
about $3.50 a month, and it is expected
that the benefit here tonight, together
with the one to be neld in New York
next week, will yield enough money
to pay McGovern's expenses for the
rest of his life.
