METHODIST NOTES.


The Missionary prayer-meeting OF
last week was largely attended, there
being about seventy present. Rev. Il.
II. Harper, of Parker Memorial, deliv-
cred the address.
Friday afternoon, at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Klink, Aldea May Amy, their
little daughter, was baptized by the
pastor.
1t became the sad duty of the pas
tor to officiate at the funeral OF Mr..
Willie Dalton, 314 Elmira st. We eX-
tend our deepest sympathy to his moth
er and other relatives.
Some of our teachers and larger pu
pills were very courageous Sunday
morning; they dared to 90 home after
Sunday school, in the teeth of fierce
norther, when they could have stayed
for the service upstairs in a comfor-
table room.
Considering the inclement weather,
both services were well attended.
We are very glad to hear of the i'm
provement of Mrs. Wilson's little son
who has been very i'll with measles and
pneumonia. We hope he will cOntin-
ne to improve.
