This was his first visit to this town and he won the good-will and esteem of every person who listened to his excellent sermons, both exceedingly appropriate to the occasion--the Educational Educational anniversary of this church. Rev. Mr. Wood was accorded a very hearty I welcome, and many of his hearers went up after the morning and evening services and expressed their personal appreciation appreciation of his discourses. His morning theme was based on 1er. 3,15--"I will give you pastors according to mine heart which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding"--and understanding"--and the subject was admirably and practically presented, showing how very necessary education is for every pastor in the present day but how much more necessary the ability to effectually point men and women to Christ. In the I evening he based his remarks on Act*9, , Baui's conversion and the steps which led up to the making of one of the greatest apostles the world has ever known.

The composition of words was in form of asking a question which was immediately answered by the invisible choir in the distance singing unaccompanied. Each of the verses was similarly treated in question and answer form and at the end of selection the whole choir joined in the last chorus. This was somewhat of a novelty in regard to music but the words were from Scripture and made a profound impression. Miss Janey suffered from a slight cold but her voice had just the required required smypathetic appeal and was successful. successful. The minster was so favorably impressed that he remarked that if Jesus were here he would place his hands on her head and bless her as he did the little children of his own day. Miss Reta R.

Miss Cole possesses the making of a very fine vocalist, having easy articulation accompanied with a peaceful expression while singing,of which so many good singers are so desirous of possessing. Mr. R. M. Mitchell again favored the congregation with a solo entitled--"Only entitled--"Only a little Way." This is a light selection and his excellent baritone voice was shown to good advantage, giving giving a happy rendition which was greatly enjoyed by his audience. The anthem of the evening, entitled "Blind Bartimseus," the text is taken from the Scriptures and made very effective by the appropriate musical setting. It is a capital anthem and was composed by C.
