Mr. and Mrs. Mark \Vilson, of Flesherton, and two children age vi-icing relatives'and friends in town. Mr. Philip Eve has been quite ill for the past. week 'or so, but we are pleased to be informed that he is on the mend. .N. r. J. W. Andrews, of Port Arthur brother of Mr. Jas. Andrews and Mrs John Russel, who was visiting here left for a friends. Dr. Spencer. of Brantford, who officiated at the opening of the new Baptist; church on Sunday last, was a caller at our sanctum on Monday morning. 'As he was at one time connected with newspaper work himself, the short, visit was a pleas- ure to us. The opening exercises in connec- tion with the Baptist church opening were continued on Sunday last when three sermons were preached, the work being taken morning and even- ing by Dr. Spencer, of Brantl'ord, and in the afternoon by Rev. \Vray R. Smith, of the Methodist church of this town. Of these discourses we are able to give only a mere outline as follows :â€"- The morning service was well at. tended. the choir being in good voice and rendering special aid in song. Dr. Spencer preached on a ”Model Church” from Acts ‘2 : 4:3, the points being : «It should be (1) A Scriptural Church; (2)31issiouary ; (3) Spiritua}; (4) United; (5) Obedient; (6) Thank- ful; (7) Powerful. In the afternoon Rey. Wray 1%.! Smith preached an excellent sermon from the Book of Samuel. enforcing the lesson of unity in effort. The choir snug Well. and Mrs. Newton and Dr. Spencer sang a duet, “ When! the Mists have rolled away." The evening; service was crowded, every available space being occupied. The service was hearty, and the choir again did excellent and particu- ;larly in singing The Holinty, unac- companied. Father Stewart led in prayer, and Dr. Spencer preached fronitl TimOLhy 1 : 1‘2 entitled “Paul’s Creed,” the points being (1) Courage; (:2) KDOWledgfl ; (:5) Faith ; (4) Assur- ance; (5)) Surrender. The sermon was practically illustrated and com- manded goon attention. Monday evening followtati with 8i fine musical concert, which was evi- dently enjoyed by all present. In addition to the excellent work donei by the choir. the entertainment was materially heightened by the duets of Dr. Spencer and M re. Newton, and the very fine selections rendered by Dr. Brown. of Holstein, who is a favorite in this town. In high class music the Dr. ranks well and makes a very favorable companion with these who call themselves profession- als. end in our opinion he surpasses many of them. Mrs. Newton’s 5010 \entitled HHome,” which she sang unaccom- pnnied, mm, to us. the prettiest number of the evening. and from the breathless attention given to the se- lection while being rendered we are confident it was a. treat to all present. A telegram ‘from Mr, Davidson, who was billed to sing, announced his illness from toneilius. and a few extre numbers from Dr. Browntnnd {du‘ec from Dr. Spencer and Mrs. Newton made up for "the vacancy. The meeting closed with the National Anthem shortly after ten o‘clock. CONTINUATION SERVICES. DH. EH]. 8. BURT. L'uo Aux-am Boy.
