NUIABLE DAY AT THE CONGRE.
 GATIONAL CHURCH.
 Sunday was day memorable in the
 history of the First Congregational
 church of Bethel. Even before service
 the audience room of the church began
 to fill rapidly till every pew was occu-
 pied and many chairs brought up from the Sunday school room below. The
 occasion was the regular Communion
 service but made particularly touching
 because of the number of young lives who were to join upon confession of their faith in Jesus Christ. This is the reward of the faithful work of the young pastor, Rev Albert Steele, which resulted from services held dur ing the week of prayer. And as the pastor arose to address the class he was deeply moved and spoke of Paul's words, "Who is weak and I am weak? who is offended, and I burn not?" as being his own experience in his sympa- thy with and anxiety for these young lives. who were about to confess Christ before men. The service was marked throughout by its simplicity. For an offertory the choir sang softly "Just as l am without one plea" and the audi ence joined in the singing of that hymn of the ages Come Thou Fount of Ev- cry Blessing" The front of the church was reserved for the persons to be received into membership. Six came from other churches joining by letter, 28 young men ard 14 young la- dies joined on confession of faith. The baptismal service was most impressive and Rev MT Davis of Plumtress assist ed the pastor in the service. Rev Mir Steele spoke most impressively from the fifteenth chapter of John on the mutual dependence of the vine and branches. The present membership of | the church is $50 and upon the printed program distributed throughout the church were these significant words, Increase in numbers ought to mean increase in efficiency for service" The Bethel church is to be congratulated 1pon securing for its leader one who | 50 sincerely labors and breaches the truths of the Blessed Gospel.
