BETHEL NOTES.

Sunday services at Bethel church
were among the most interesting
since the coming of Rev. Harbert
as pastor. He was greeted both
morning and evening with large
audiences. Much appreciative was
the large number of soldiers who
attended on Sunday night. More
accessions to membership were made
as usual at the close uf the morning
service. The choir rendered excel
lent numbers.
Sunday. November ID, the choir
will be heard to great advantage i'll
a sacred concert at evening service.
To miss this will be to miss real
musical treat. Basso Profundo Ed
Anderson never fails to inspire, as
we'll as some of the other excellent
soloists Bring your critical friends.
The first quarterly conference
for Bethel church will be held by
Presiding Elder Wilson Nov. 2I-3.
He will preach at both services an
Sunday. Nov. FL, and administer
the sacrament of the Lords Sup
per. His many friends will not
fail to te present, and give him a
greeting.
See the advertisement in another
column of the fair to be given
Thanksgiving week at Bethel, and
which promises to be a record
breaking affair
Nov. II, in the lecture room of
Bethel, All elaborate reception was
given to non-commissioned officers
of the Twentyfourth infantry.
Sunday school and the Christian
Endeavor grow larger weekly, and
the exercises become. if possible,
more and more interesting.
The midweek prayer and class
service still continue to atttact the
spiritually minded, without regard
to denomination.
The music of the church will be
greatly improved by the addition
of a male quartet, which will thrill
the hearts of all who attend, with
melodies sweet and precious. Prof
Williamson, Messrs. Dean, Wilson
and Anderson are quartet tc
charm any audience. They really
sing heart and gospel songs. They
are expected to sing Sunday eve
ming or perhaps at both services.
