Services at Fifth Street Baptist
Church were largely attended last
Sunday. An unusual christian warmth
prevailed; the congregation ami.
mated and services spirited. All

| blessings with minds and hearts
ready TO receive the new. The com
mon signs of fright relative TO what
may happen May Is, 1910. upon the
fun approach of Halley's Comet, does
not seem TO find Judgement into the
bosom of the members of this con
gregation. They have arranged for a
great service Wednesday night, May

As 90 Halley's Comet, we'll advise

of the great stars that declare the

teaches us, Heaven and earth shall
pass away. but lHis) my words shall
not pass away. But of that day ana

Christian people should not be
frightened at the approach OF pc
riodical stars. i'm the light OF aver
sion teachings of Jesus. The more
people become enlightened In true
fundamental sound principles in pho
portion will superstition wane. We
boast of living I'm a Bible land and
| Gospel country, but when we look
! about and around us we feel some
times like saying that his proverb is
not active; but merely theoretical. At
any rate, we are favored and blessed
with the privilege of imbibing the
real and true essence OF true; both
imagSnatively and conductively. In
all OF our ways, let us ever remem-
ber that God reigns
At 1880 church services com
menced. Our Pastor, Rev. DR.. W. r.
Graham preached a fine sermon.
Subject, The Personal God" The
choir revived itself in feature. It's
organist, Miss Edmonia Anderson,
who has been absent on account OF
sickness for about a month or more,
was present. The very musical
strains from the big pipe organ,
mingling with the melody OF human
voices of the choir, told the story
: to the congregation that an adept
presided at his instrument. The con-
gregation was delighted by the sweet
melodiOus sound any many whispers
could be heard saying, its Miss Ed
mOnia Anderson playing. The con
gregation was proud 10 know that
? God in His mercy had raised this
r young lady from her sick bed. and
she was again at her post OF duty.
I No one was more happy than the vet
+ eran leader of the choir, Alex. Nc
, Coy. who seems to be as happy as a
: leader could be over the return of
l. his accomplished organist.
