SUNDAY SERVICES
|AT DAWSON CHURCHES
THE LARGE CONGREGATIONS
HEARD FORCEFUL SERMONS.
BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Sunday services at the Methodist
church were of special interest, a
marked increase in attendance being
noted in the Sunday school Large
congregations were also present tor
the preaching services. THE Power
of Prayer" was the theme of the SER
mon at the morning hour, Acts l6-l3
being the text used. The pastor en-
phasized the fact that the spiritual life
of the church must be quickened as
necessary preparation for the &C
compishment of the great task to
which God has called his people.
Great revivals and sweeping reforms
have always been preceded by sea-
sons of importunate prayer. Striking
instances were given OF the influence
of prayer in shaping the worlds his
tory.
The service of tho evening was
somewhat out of the usual order,
Young People and Matrimony" or
''How to Get Married." being the
topic under discussion. Underlying
the good advice to those contemplat-
ing the important step was the stress
laid on the Importance of he Chris
tan home as the one indispensable
factor in the life of the nation.
At the Baptist Church.
Last Sunday was another banner
day at the Baptist church in Daw-
son. At the Sunday school there were
336. Mr.. Stevens had hoped for $50
at this service but the little cool snap
caused quite little slump in the Sc
Nor Baraca class, and one or two
other classes, causing the number to
be Just IA below the goal. Mr.. Stevens
said in the service Sunday that he con-
fidently expects $50 next Sunday, or
more, if the weather is at all clement.
There was a full house at both the
morning and evening services and as
much interest and manifestation OF the
spirit of God as one is accustomed to
seeing at revival at white heat. There
were five to join at the morning ser
vice and five again at the evening ser
vice Each time there were two by
letter and three by experience. The
pastor announced at the service Sun
might night that there will in all prob
ability be baptism next Sunday night
land expressed the hope that there
will be baptisms' all along through the
remainder of the winter and the spring
The subject for next Sunday morn
ing is: "A Sleeping Jonah" The eve
ming subject:
The organist will have the same fine
class of special music and the congre-
CATION is going to do better than it is
in the habit of doing, if possible. A
special feature of the music of last
Sunday evening was a -quartette by the
Jennings quartette, which held the au:
dience spell-bound as we'll as lifted the
hearts of all to God.

At the Presbyterian church, Rev
G. A. Grille preached on the subject
of THE Promise Keeping God" from
the text, first Kings, $50. There
