MRS. B. F. TURNER OCCUPIES
PULPIT.
Mrs. B. F. Turner, who occupied
the pulpit of the First Baptist church
in Hallowell in the absence of her
husband, the pastor, Sunday morning
and evening, proved herself to be
most interesting speaker and render
ed most acceptable service to the de-
light of those who were in attendance.
1t was Mrs. Turner's first time to
be heard as a preacher IN this city.
though In every department of the
church she has proven herself a val
liable helpmeet In her husbands
work. In other pastorates where Mr..
Turner has served, Mrs. Turner has
occupied the pulpits of various
churches in the towns. Mrs. Tur-
ner supplemented her early educa
ton with course at the Coburn
Classical Institute in Waterville. She
was a missionary with her husband
in India for three years. She has
gathered much from her experience in
travel which serves her to good pur-
pose In religious and other work of
an educational kind. Mr.. and Mrs.
Turner formerly lived in Norridge-
wock where he was pastor for num-
Der of years of the First Baptist
church. She is a talented woman and
wonderful help to her husband.
Getting to heaven is a good deal
more than backing up from hell.
