HONOR NATIONS DEAD.

One Of the largest crowds ever gath
cred in the city on similar occasion
was in the city Saturday to assist ant
take part in the Decoration Day ex.
ercises in this city. The day was a
beautiful one, free from wind and
with just enough dampness in the air
to make 1t a pleasant one.
In the morning an abundance Of
autos and other conveyances were
provided to take the old soldiers and
others to the cemetery where every
old soldiers grave had been nicely
prepared and was decorated in a fit
ing manner. A splendid squad Of the
proposed company Of National Guards
were In attendance and fired a salute
Of honor to the nations dead. There
was a very large crowd at the ceme-
terry, and almost every grave IN the
whole place had been nicely cleaned
and decorated beautifully, and the
place presented a very pretty appear
ance.
In the afternoon the procession was
formed at the G. A. r. Hall and
headed by the band, the old soldiers,
Ladies Circle, Sens of Veterans, Ma.
tional Guard, members Of the city
fire department and others, marched
to the court house park, where after
a number Of selections by the band
and some songs BY Q chorus Of young
ladies, the address Of the day was de.
Avered by Rev, Father Reidy, Of this
city, and no better o. more appropri-
ate speech In commemoration Of tht
old soldiers and the nations dead
was ever delivered anywhere Father
Retdy is an orator who Is without q
superior In this part Of the country
and his remarks were most fitting
and appropriate and were delivered n
a mastery style, and the speech was
most thoroughly enjoyed by every ont
Of the many hundreds who heard it.
It was a beautiful tribute 10 the loved
ones who have gone on before and
was q fitting climax to the day set
ASIDE for the honor OF the nations
Heroes and the loved oAeg sleeping
meath the sod.

who is conducting the meetings is not
an ordinary evangelist. His manner
of campaign is strictly modern and
up TO the minute But he has skill
fully blended the modern attractive
method OF reaching men with the
ancient apostolic spiritual method of
convicting their minds of the destruc-
t~iveness of sin in any form and the
personal practical advantage of
righteousness. He does not seek to
play on mems feelings in order to eX
cite their sentiment or emotion but
he talks to the heads of men in a
plain, practical, but pointed, pungent
and powerful manner and this car
ries with it certain and sure convic-
tion and gets immediate results. He
knows the good old book-the Bible
and Uses that and that alone. He
is just the kind of evangelist that ap-
peals to men in a very special way
and the men of this town shiuld hear
him, as he is especially successful in
winning men for the kingdom OF
Christ. DR.. Winston will speak twice
on Sunday. His subject at 11:00 a,
m. will be Satan Dethroned." AT
500 p. m. his subject will be: Faith
the Chain that Links Men to God
There will be a big baptizing at 200
p. m. At this baptismal ceremony il
is expected that twenty or twenty-five
persons will put on Christ by bap
tism. Plan to attend all these sevr
ices, and help us to evangelize this
end of our city. Remember that DR.
Winston holds a Bible institute every
afternoon except Monday at the
church from 3 to 4 O'Clock. Heal
him unfold the wonderful plan o
salvation and explain the marvellous
scheme of redemption in his unique
thrilling, gripping manne and -yol
will get a new viewpoint of life ant
see your Bible in a different ligh
and know better how to use 1t to wiz
men out of the kingdom of darkness
into the kingdom of light, liberty an
love.

ALLEN CHAPEL 7

Services at Allen were largely at

day morning. At 1890 o'clock the
pastor, full sudpliced choir, Prof.
Jackson and the entire congregation
marched across the street to DIR. Ba-
cote's to assist in his rally and en-
joyed a pleasant visit and gave more
than $S5 as their offering. DR.. Ba-
cote promises to return the visit the
second Sunday in December. Presid-
ing Elder Peck and the various A. NJ.
e. pastors are making strenuous eff
forts to build up the Sunday school
of the city. Let's all help them. At
the night service which was largely
attended Prof. Jackson gave a half
hours instruction in congregational
singing which was both inspiring and
enjoyable. The usher's board is do.
ing splendid work for the different
departments of the church. The var
ious auxiliaries of the church are
planning for the holidays. Everybody
welcome at grand old Allen, the

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.

The annual Thanksgiving services
are held as usual. The sermon de-
livered by the pastor, DR.. Bacote, was
o grand treat for those who were for
tunate enough to attend. There were
three additions to the church. The
annual Thanksgiving dinner given by
the ladies of the church under the
supervision of our excellent ca%teress,
Mrs. Mamie Fields, was a grand SUE
cess. From the past ear that Mrs.
Fields has superintendent these an
nual affairs we know her name stands
as a guarantee for the luxurious
feast which is in store for us all. The
amount cleared from the dinner above
all expenses was Sill. The services
Sunday were, as usual, up to the high
standard. The pastors sermon on
the "Prodigal Son" was full of advice
and practical lessons for all. There
were three additions to the church.
