The Rev. George r. Varney OF Reno,
New, occupied the pulpit Of the 1mman-

morning and evening services. In place OF
the Rev. Louis S. Bowermun, who Is on
eral supervisor OF the mission work OF the
Baptist church in the district comprising
the states of Utah and Nevada and Il large
part OF California. and made the trip TO
this city for the purpose of substituting
for the Rev. Mr.. Bowerman, He returned
to Reno last night, The subject of his
sermon yesterday morning WAS The Re-

treating his subject he said, in part.

that there may be some other Religion
better calculated TO capture the hearts

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, October 7.-G D. m.)-The increase continues high throughout al- most the entire country, with small de- pressons over the northwest, the south west and the New England states.
 As a result northerly winds and clear skies prevail in most sections. Over the southern plains states and the lower Mis- souri valley light rains have occurred, due notably to the sudden and decided fall in temperature in that section. Over the northwestern section and also over the gulf states and lower Atlantic slope tenn peratures have risen slightly.
 Decidedly cooler weather prevails over the section north of the Ohio river.
 The movement of the high pressure area now over the central Mississippi basin Is northeasterly, and it's influence will cause no decided change in present conditions in this section slightly cooler weather will probably be experienced Tuesday, but an extension of the rain c--, now over the southwest, is hardly expected this far eastward
