Baptist Church Services.

The annual business meeting of the church w*il be held on Wednesday evening at 7:00 o’clock. All the members are earnestly requested to attend. The Woman’s Missionary meeting will be held with Mrs. Harkrider, on Friday afternoon, at 2:00 o’clock. Sunday morning the pastor will preach a missionary sermon on the missionary work of our publication society. The missionary offerings of this quarter go to this work, and we are now in the last month of the quarter. Sunday evening the theme will be, “Church Unity,” and will be a reply to or review of a sermon preached last Sunday by Cardinal Gibbons, and published in the Inter Ocean Monday. Junior B. Y. P. U. will hold its meeting on Sunday afternoon, and the Seniors, Sunday evening before the preaching service. J. P. GREEN, Pastor. Mr. and Mrs. John Eger returned last evening from Chicago. They spent Sunday afternoon at the hospital where little Jack Larsh has been since his accident. They also bring home fine reports concerning him and think that he will be well enough to be brought home within the next week, He is somewhat deaf and may be left slightly affected that way. One of his eyes is also a little out of adjustment and he now sees double, but the surgeon said the correction of that would be a simple operation to be undertaken a little later. He is bright and cheerful, and while the doctors at the hospital thought the chances about a. hundred to one against him when he was taken there, they now consider him entirely out of danger.

Those who attended the Wickersham lecture at the church Tuesday evening went out expecting to hear something good, but few were prepared for the rare treat which they enjoyed. For an hour and forty minutes Mr. Wickersham held his audience spellbound and at the n'ose nearly all rushed forward to grasp him by the hand. Mr. Wickersham’s mastery of ideas, control of language, and self-possession are truly marvelou,, and he has been voted by many the strongest man who ever appeared upon our lecture platform. No one heard the lecture who didn’t rs-’eive many times the worth of his money, and those who failed to hear him suffered an irreparable loss.—St. Francis (Kans.) Herald. At M.
