Rev. F. W, Dixon, who has
charge of Shiloh during the alb
sence of DR.. j. M. Waldron,
preached for us last Sunday morn
ing, using for his subject "Truth."
The sermons of Rev. Dixon, always
interesting and instructive, was
especially so on that occasion, and
was listened to attentively. Rev.
Ell. L. Coins preached at the even
ing service.
During the absence of the pas
tor, though Rev. Dixon will visit
the sick of the church as often as
possible, it is especially desired
that the members visit them also.
Among those reported last Sunday
were: Sister Julia Brooks of 44O
O street, who was said to be some
what improved. Brother Thomas
Yeney, 1126 2lst street, is improv-
ing. Sister Ellen Rollins, who has
been in Freedman's Hospital, has
returned to her home, 1851 Seaton
street. Sister Lucy Roy, though
not entirely well, was able to at,
tend the morning service last Sun
day. Sister Gilbert of 1135 21st
street, an invalid, though physic-
ally very weak, was reported by
Rev. Dixon as being spiritually
very strong. During his recent
visit to her bedside he says she
preached him one of the best SER
mons he ever heard. If not pos
sible to visit the sick ones, then
give them your prayers.
Brother James A. Moss, who has
been spending his vacation at his
home in Louisa county, Virginia,
and also actively assisting at the
revival meetings, returned last week
greatly improved in health and ap-
pearance.
Brother w. lei. Henderson and
his wife reports having splendid
time at his home.
The Board of Deacons, assisted
by our Deaconesses, without whom
it would hardly be a success, will
give an entertainment on Wednes-
day evening, September %, in the
Iecture-room of our church, for the
benefit of the poor saints. If you
are unable to attend, purchase a
ticket, which is only 10 cents, and
thereby help swell the fund, which
is used for the poor and needy of
the church.
That the Rose Mission at Ten
allytown, over which Rev. w. O..
Coates has charge, is at work is
evidenced by the announcement of
a watermelon feast which they are
preparing to give on Tuesday even
ing, September q. 1t is to be given
on the lot which they have just
purchased and enclosed, and on
which they hope at some time to
build. The proceeds of the enter
tainment is for the benefit of the
aged and orphans of their mission,
and deserves to be encouraged. Go
out and spend a pleasant evening
with them and see what they are
doing. Tickets of admission are 10
cents, and can be purchased from
Brother w. D. Coates or Sisters
Rose Campbell, r. E. Coates, Bet
tie Carter and Edmonia Smith.
Brother Isaac G. Reddie Of the
choir returned last week from Bal
tiifore, where he had been to visit
his wife, who has been very ill. He
says she is somewhat improved.
During his absence he was greatly
missed by the Christian Endeavor
Society as well as the choir.
Sister Sarah A. Lucas left the
city last week for New York, to be
absent till the middle of October.
When the Deacons give their enter
tainment on the 9th of September
her absence will certainly be noted,
