the preaching. DR.. Bailey is very
scholarly man and he has been preach
ing with great force and power. He
is systematic in his discourSeS and has
been preaching, seemingly to one
particular end all the time. The meet
ing has been directed more to arousing a
proper spiritual awakening among the
membership, and church members
generally, rather than to the uncon-
verted. 1t is believed that much
good is being done Interest is grow
ing in the meeting and the congrega-
tions are increasing day after day.
The pastor, Rev. N. W. P. Bacon, ex-
tends cordial invitation to one and
all to attend the services.
