pastor of the Con gregational church Marshall Minn came to a close last Sunday evening with a well attended service an earnest and helpful service special music While the meetings have not been marked by large audiences and numer ous conversions the gospel has been preached with earnestness and power by Rev Sharp and at least many Christian people of the city have been benefited and strengthened by the same if those for whom the services weie especially provided were not reached in such num bers as was fondly hoped Rev Sharpe has during these meetings strengthened the friendships formed during his meetings of three years since His is the service of a Christian gentle man of ability and tact vigor and whole bOiutfconservatism which yields nothing of real faith and principle and appeals not to sensational and cheap devices The Word has been fitly spoken and itwill not return void - ADDITIONAL PERSONALS Mns W G Dutton entertained the Priscilla club Wednesday afternoon of present week J M
