■ * - THE CHURCHES U. B. CHURCH. Sunday evening Rev. Snyder preached from the text, Mathew 15-28. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Great faithleads to great undertakings. It was a ' great undertaking for this woman to । come to Christ. Great faith begets great expectations. She expected the Savior to heal her daughter. We often expect no great results from our labors, because we have not this great faith. Great faith awakens great I earnestness. She cried and fell at his feet and worshipped him. Look at the earnestness of Knot, Luther and Wes ley, they had great faith. Great faith conquers great difficulties . First, it is said, he answered her not a word. But i she kept ou. Next he said, he was not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Still she is not discouraged Next he said, it was not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs. Sho answered, truth O, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crams that fall from their master's table. What diffi culties have not been overcome by men of undaunted courage ami faith! j Great faith achieves great victories. Be it unto thee even as thou wilt, and daughter was made whole. Mark I 9 23. Mathew 17 29. Heb. 11, 30 40. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. Stockbargei's subject last Sun- ! day evening was ‘‘Peace.” The hisI lory of mankind is one of constant i warfare. War between nations. War between classes in society. Individual warfare against things that threaten human happiness. Christians are at war with evil. There is a false pt ace I to be gained by compromise, but it is folb «< Ib\ re! » ■ I h -ti.iti — . er by ! disgrace. It is often obtained by the . sun udcr of manhood. There is no , peace except in complete victory. | Especially is this true in our relation to mu and evil habit. The most per- ■ feet peace of earth is but the rule of : the strong . It can be, and often is, dis | turbed. Everyone must keep ou hi" * armor to fight new enemies as long us he lives. The ultimate peace, after which there is to be no more war, is : the rewaid of the good soldier of the cross when he goes to hrs heavenly I home.

Ou Sabbath last communion services 1 were held at the Piesbytviiau church, , . after the set mon.

The pa-tor, Rev. Gillette. took for his text "Be ye Holy.” Byway of ' introduction, the speaker mentioned the importance given to personal holiness iu Hie bible. Adam was made holy and placed iu a garden where it i was comparatively easy to live u holy j life. Enoch was granted the honor of : a triumphal way heavenward because । of personal holiness. Abraham was taken from the laud of heathendom and given a new laud with the promise of her seed being the blessing of the ( whole earth because of personal holi- | uess. Then the speaker proceeded to show : that the personal holiness was profita- ! ble to man. First, Because it brought him into near relations with God—the value of God as a friend could not be overestimated. Second. Because it brought the approval of our own consciousness. This the speaker elaborated to some extent by argument and illustration. Third. Personal holiness is ueccessary because it fits one for religious work. Christian work is as natural to the Christian as it ■ is for water to run down hill. But . without holiness uo one can lead others to holy living. Lastly. Personal holiness fits one for Heaven. This line of argument was followed --by remarks as to how personal holi- । ness may be attained which the speak- ' er said was by reading God’s word. Secondly. Prayer. Thirdly. Attending faithfully upon the means of God. 1 Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair. 6 DR; a CREAM ' BAKING pm MOST PERFECT MADE.
