PROF. WEAVER SINGS SEEETLY AND
TEACHES OTHERS To SING.
Large and Interested Audiences Gath
eP In the AFmOPy.

Rev. DR.. Needham and Prof. Weav-
er, his singing assistant reached Farm
vile on last Monday evening, direct
from Chase City, where at the close
of a two weeks meeting this is said
by a minister of that town Of the
work done there:
1t was my privilege to take the
hands of some fifty persons Friday
night who had confessed Christ under
his preaching. As looked INTO their
faces and saw the JOY of their souls !
felt profoundly grateful for this meet
ing. Eternity alone can tell the good
that has been done. This meeting
and these men will linger always in
our memory. We devoutly thank
God for their coming and pray the
Fathers richest bles .ings upon them
both.
Prof. Weaver organized the choir
on Monday evening and soon had the
singers well in hand. On Tuesday
e, ening Dr. Needham preached his
lirst sermon in which he first referred
to that account given in Gods word
in which the faith of friends saved
friend, " and then to the marvellous
fact that the son Of man wrestled with
Jacob all night and would not let him
90 until the blessing came And
though Jacob left the place limping
his life was flooded with sunshine
On Wednesday e,ening the preach
er read of the great feast and the in-
struction given by the Master to his
servants to invite, persuade and COM
pel them TO come in. " DR.. Needham
spoke quietly, calmly but with the
Word of God as his theme and speaks
effectively.
At the Baptist Church on Thursday
morning he told of the Christ the
good and great and chief shepherd. ~
These services are held ach morning
at 10 O'Clock, at the same place, and
consist of Bible readings, 80 and are
of peculiar value to all those who
would learn the way, the truth and
the life.
As the song strikes many when the
sermon misses, music has an impor-
tant part in these services, and we
are fortunate to have Prof Weaver tc
lead the singing and Miss Andrews tC
preside at the piano. And Farmyille y.
best singers compose the choir, some
70 in number, and now what wait We
for but the blessing of God, withou
which vain is the help Of man ~

until Friday. April so. The track
was not in good shape for fast rec

from the city was very bad on ac-
count of the recent rains So this ac=-

The grade meet for stud ents below

be an annual event, will take place
Saturday. of this week. as announc-
ed. While this meet will not rank
in the class with the yearly inter
class event of the high school, it will
contestants have earnestly trained
their records ON that day will COM
pare in all probability. fayorably,
with the grade meets and playground
meets in the larger cities. The
knights of st. Paul, which have met
twice before this year, will take part
as individuals, and the athletes will
be the pick of the 900 students.
The meet, which is fostered by the
High School Athletic association is
TO encourage those who take part in
athletes, preparatory to entering the
high schools to act as an incentive to
study for high school life. They will
give a beautiful pennant to the in
dividual champion and will conduct
the program in a businesslike and
proper manner. A small admission
fee will be charged and it is thought
that a large crowd will attend to en-
courage the young boys.
