BAPTIST CHURCH.

Services at the church were we'll attended last week. Sunday school was a slight improvement on the previous Sunday. The banner went to Mrs. Elledge s class as the teacher and all pupils were presant. Sunday night. after the B. Y. P. U. service, we all went to the park! where we heard Bro. Walker ably defend the cause of temp erance. This is a matter on which oil of our christian people need to be alert. The whiskeyi people are doing all they can to keep their cause from being damaged any more than it is and we need to know what they are about. The object of these Sun- day night addresses is to awaken our manhood to the good they can do the cause of righteous ness in our state by steering clear of and working against the interest of the saloon. The pastor will attend the Association this week. but expects. to be back to fill his appointment Sum- day morning. There will be no night service at the church, as that service will be conducted at the park. It Is our purpose to have . brief, spirited and wor-
 shipful service, and a cordial invitation is extended all to
 worship with us at that hour.

At first the knowledge of being in

himself to it purely as a matter of

his salary. Once he steps over the
