Services. Celebrated
Hampton's Birthday

the holy and sacred joy in the risen
Saviour was not only impressed on
the older hearts, but the young as
we'll. At the Methodist church beau
tiful service was had, this being par
ticipated in chiefly by the children.
The week previous to Easter, Holy
Week, the members of the Lutheran
church each evening had beautiful
and impressive service.
Rev. Make White, who is mis-
sionary in Brazil, preached on Sunday
evening at the Baptist church, and
there was large audience to hear
him. He described the people he la
bored with and the field he worked
in, telling of the problems, and many
wonderful results, and all listened to
him with keen interest. In concluding
he made an earnest plea for laborers
on the field. The world, he said, is to
be evangelized by the young, and it
was his earnest wish that some would
go from this church. When small
boy he made a profession of faith in
this church, his family living here
during his early boyhood days. 1t
was a pleasure and joy to all to hear
him preach.
On Sunday morning at the Baptist
church, Mrs. James H. White united
with the Baptist church, having pre-
viously been a member of the Chris
tian church.
Mr.. o. S. Wertzs mas been sick dur

of his children came for a visit to
cheer him up, and also to be with
their mother on her birthday. This
couple has six children to be with and
comfort them now that they are not
as young as they used to be, and
these are certainly model ones, for al
though they live about over the state,
they frequently give their parents
surprise meetings.

composed of representatives of the
Third Division of Ridge Association.
