Lindsay will conduct the following services at the Church of God: Saturday, 7:30 p. m., bible lesson, subject: “Prayer.” Sunday, 9:30 a. in., bible lesson; 10:45 a. m., sermon; 7:30 p. m., sermon. Baptist. Rev. F. H.

Presbyterian. Rev. J. Budman Fleming, pastor. —9:30 a. m„ Bible school; 10:45 o’clock, morning worship and sermon, subject: “Fishers of 'Men”; 7:30 o’clock, evening worship and sermon, subject: “Thirsting for God.” “If I„ was not with you in person I was with you in spirit.” That has been used as an excuse for absence from church and a quieting potion for conscience, but it is a poor substitute for personal presence. Spirits do not make up congregations and when one can be there in the body and is not he , might as well keep his spirit at home with him. St. Augustine’s Next Sunday, the fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the services at St. Augustine’s church will be as follows: First mass at 7:30 a. m.; rosary high mass and sermon at 10 a. m.; instruction for the children that do not attend the parochial school immediately after high mass; Christian doctrine, devotional exercises and benediction at 2:30 p. m. The holy sacrifice of the mass will be celebrated each day at 8 o’clock except on Saturday ■when the mass will be at 7 o’clock. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, September 19, 21 and 22, are Ember days, therefore fast an] abstinence days.

St. Janies Mission, Newland. The dedication last Suriday of our little mission church as.racted a great number of people to our town to attend the very impressive services, which took place at 11 o’clock. Rev. Leo Spornhauer sang the high mass; Rev. I. Rapp preached the sermon; Rev. Nicholas Grieve, who had been delegated by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Alerding for the purpose, blessed the church. Many other clergymen were present. After the services the ladies of St. Janies church, assisted by the ladies of St. Augustine’s church, served a dinner at Neeve’s grove. They realized SBO from their meals. This, with the collection taken at the church, amounted to $125.. The church as it stands now is free from debt, owing to splendid home missionary spirit by the members of St. Augustine’s church. It, was through their assistance only that the founding and building of the mission vas made possible. The members of the Newland Catholic church wish to use this opportunity to express their sincere thanks to all who assisted and most especially to the members of St. Augustine’s church. There will be mass and instruction at Newland Monday. September 18, at 8 o’clock.
