GREAT MEETINGS
Held LAST night
PRESBYTERIAN AND BAPTIST
CHURCHES HOLD GREAT AUDI
ENcEs WHO LISTEN TO MAG
NlFIcENT SERMONS IN UNION
EVANGELICAL SERVICES.

Continued interest in the union
evangelistic services was evidenced
last evening, when great audiences
filled the two churches at which serv-
ices were held. At the First Bap-
list Rev. Charles r. Adams was the
speaker, while Rev. J. NJ. Walters con-
tinued his great efforts at the Presby-
terrain church.
DR.. c. r. Adams at the First Bap-
tist church had a strong appeal, es-
pecially for men. He used as a text
the words that Christ spoke to Peter
after he had given Peter his commits
sion and the latter had turned and
asked what the Apostle John was to
do. The Savior said: What Is that
to thee, follow thou me-"
People are continually looking
over their shoulder TO see what the
other fellow is doing; what he is say
ing: what effect their stand for Christ
will have among their fellow men.
They are afraid of being criticised"
said DR.. Adams, What is that the
thee, follow thou me.
1.-THE one place where a man stands
absolutely alone, where he must
answer for himself alone is in his duty
toward God. The people of this gen.
Grafton have received a great gift in
the civilization that has come because
Jesus Christ lived and died Our
fathers died to give us this. But many
stand aside and let some other person
work for, and profess and keep alive
the spirit of christianity.
Those who do this are towards.
They take the good things but depend
on some one else to bear the burdens"
A great audience greeted Rev. j.
M. Walters of the NJ. r. church in the
First Presbyterian church last night
and he gave splendid address. The
building was crowded.
His subject was Paul and the Life
He Lead. and he drew from it the
fact that times had not much changed;
that men were still putting off leading
the right life. Paul looked to this life
and his preaching was directed to the
people of this world and though his
followers were but a handful of peo-
pie vet in less than three centuries the
cross was emblazoned on the arms
of the Roman soldiers and now 1t
reaches over the entire world.
The speaker gave many instances
in his own life in the ministry to show
the great good that the word of God
has brought about. how the religion
of Christ had grown everywhere, how
great schools had been erected for
sending out ministers ami for the
study of the Bible, how virtue is re-
spected and how honesty was es-
teemed, and in closing he made a great
appeal to all to forsake their sins&and
follow Jesus Christ and His cause.
The music at both services was eX-
cellent There was a duet by Mrs.
Askegard, and Mr.. Bunce at the Pres
byterian church that was highly APP
preciated.
Services will be held this evening
as usual at the Presbyterian church
beginning at 7:45. Tonight is Brother
hood Night, and a great chorus of
mems voices will lead the singing. Mr..
Walters will speak each evening.
