The Baptist Meeting.

There was a good attendance at
the Baptist church again last night
and although 1t was Monday night
which is usually considered bad
might for a meeting, the interest was
good. Rev Johnson preached from
the 23rd verse of the book of Jude
Subject, Pulling Them Out Of the
Fire. In his discourse he drew the
between sin and fire
and compared the christian to a
fireman. He showed how sin and
fire are alike in that both are mys-
|terious, both exist in the latent and
active state, both are attractive
they are alike In the way they des-
troy, but both sin and fire can be
quenched in their mad ravage as
they 60. Sinful man can go to
Christ and find help. He Is the great
fire chief of heaven who can turn
on the oil of His grace and tbosa
men and women who have already
been saved are the firemen In d
spiritual sense. The morning service
was especially interesting and
good number were in attendance
At the close of the service last even
ing three people Joined the church.
Services again tonight at 1880 and
in the morning at 10 o'clock.
