The series of meetings at the Chris
tian church closed last Wednesday
evening with six additions to the
church. The meetings continued for
twenty-one successive nights, and the
preaching was done by G. b. Thomp-
son, two sermons preached by Evan
gelist Lewis, and one sermon by FL
der Newberry. I do not wish to forget
Mrs. Lola Calvert of indianapolis,
who led the singing for one week.
She has far more than ordinary abili-
ty, both as teacher and leader,
and as soloist she sang some Of the
most touching solos we ever listen
ed to, among the ones that impressed
your humble servant the most are
the following: "Turned away from
the beautiful gate" ''The promise
made to Mother and SIS my name in
Mothers prayer" Each evening af-
ter the preaching, the singers of
both churches would remain and join
with Mrs. Calvert and make music
worth listening too.
On Sunday, April Is, the little two
weeks old child of George Nutter, of
this place, was buried here. Two
weeks seems a very brief stay in this
world, but that is as long perhaps as
the good Lord intended 1t should
stay. The different poets have tried
to measure the brevity of life; one
has said:
"A few more suns shall set DER these
rough hills Of time,
And we shall be where suns are not, q far
serener cline"
Another has said:
"As shadows cast by cloud and sun, fit
DER the fleeting grass,
so In thy sight, Almighty One, earths
generations pass"
We think that VIM. Knox comes
nearer than all Others when he said:
Oh, why should the spirit OF mortal be
proud,
Like q fast lying meteor or u swift
heeting cloud,
Like n fash OF the lightning or a break OF
the wave,
Man passed from life To his rest in the
grave.
