The Varney church has brightened up Spiritually since the special ser- vices conducted by Evapgelist Alex. Minnie. A number of new names were added to the church roll and the old ones had their armor bright- ened up, and with the very earnest efiorts of the Pastor the church is getting along nicely. Three class leaders have been appointed and class was held after the service last Sun- day for the first time for along time. The Rev. Mr. Stevenson deserves credit for the pains he takes with the choir. He had a ladies’ choir one Sunday and a gentlemen’s another. Both did well.
