BAPTIST CHUKCII NOTES. Last Sunday proved to be one of the coldest, if not the coldest Sun day we have had this year and con sequently not a very large congrega tion was in attendance at the morn ing service, still for the day the at tendance might be called good. The children did not forget the Sunday school and the older people would do j well to take the example of the chi' dren in this regard. The history in tervening between tbe lesson of last and tbe preceding Sunday, ns given by Mrs. Converse, and tbe review of tbe lesson as given by Bro. Douglas, were t'erv interesting and tends to make tbe history of tbe work as done by Christ mote complete and gives to tbs ssbolsr a batter insight into the vast amount of work sccom plisbed by our saviour whits laboring among bis people. The young peo ple’s meeting was as well attended as could be expected. Tbe ohoir gave us some splendid music. It was of tbs kind that stirred the in nermost feeling and made many de sire to be more like the Master and do more and better work for him. Rev. Kennedy preached the first of a series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. One thought brought out in the sermon was “If we acknowl edge and call Qod our Father we ought to be ready at all times to re buke tbe taking of His name in vain and allowing Him to be traduced when in our power to prevent. All are invited to come to all of these services. » See Riedel’s sale ad. in this issue. £. G. Taylor made a business trip to Omaha the first of the week.

Her horse commenced to run while coming down the hill by Harry Jenner’s and turned the first corner at Loney Rentfrow’s place all right but at the next one, near R. P. Starr’s, the cart turned over.

The only damage done was the breakage to the cart.
