BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES.

When you enter the Baptist church there's a man waiting for you with outstretched hand. He's glad to see you. He represents the church. You've got to come late and leave early to escape a handshake.
 Last Sunday was crowded day with the workers. Three services, besides the Bible school. The attendants at the meeting in Lower Stepney are go- ing to use the Northfeld Hymnal here after.
 Recent meetings in the schoolhouse at Judd district made some of the peo- ple who were there think of the good old days. The schoo]house has been crowded. There has been much sing ing, some old hymns, some new ones, all with life. It is hoped that these meetings may be continued.
