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. »

M iss Ella Connor had quite an
exciting runaway last Friday even
ing while driving to town from her
school. 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.
In tome way Miss Connor managed
to jump from the vehicle and not
get hurt. The horse ran down the
street and stopped at the barn of
Sum Daddow where Miss Connor
is staying. The only damage done
was the breakage to the cart.
