The ladies an* busy preparing
fancy costumes about which great
secreey is preserved and not a few
of the men have been seen .with
suspicious looking parcels. The
contests for the prizes will be.
keen and the judges are sure to
have difficulty in making their
decisions.
Two new names have been add

a rumor lhal others are being
held back until I he last day. Miss

CHURCH SERVICES
HELD YESTERDAY
8tfrring Sermons at the Congre
gational Church Sun
day
The audiences well tilled the
Congregational church both
morning and evening yesterday.
The pastor, Kev. Johnson, preach
ed at both services. His morn
ing subject was, "A Comforting
Exhortation," and was based on
the words: "Fear not, little
llock," etc.—Luke xii:32. He re
marked that (he Christian life was
not an easy one. There had to be
confronted trial, temptations and
difficulties. Any weakling could
do wrong and live to gratify his
own senses and desires, but it
required great determination and
faith to live for Christ today as
of o|<|. To do so there must be
no giving way to fear, which was
slavish and invited defeat. "Fear
not, but trust, for I lit? great and
good Father had assumed the
certainty of Mis kingdom."
At night Hit! pastor gave a stir
ring sermon from the words: "His
heart was moved within Him when
lie seen the city given wholly to
idolatry."—Act xvii:10. lie de
scribed St. Paul's zeal and un
daunted courage after his conver
sion. The violent opposition and
persecution he met; driven from
country to country, from city to
city, yet preaching the gospel ev
erywhere, winning converts and
establishing churches. He ably
described his Might to Athens, the
capital of (Sreece. His distress of
heart as he saw the great city of
culture and philosophy wholly
given to idolatry. It was evident
that education did not necessar
ily imply evangelism; that was
self-evident today. What were the
moral and spiritual conditions of
our great modern cities—indeed,
what was the moral condition of
your own town, Yaldez?
Kev. .Johnson deprecated the
condition of the place. The low
tone, the tolerance apparently
given to the most loathsome vices,
the appalling desecration of the
Sabbath day; the universal in
dilTerenee to vital Christianily and
the deplorable intlueliee this all
had upon the young and rising
generation.
The service was enlivened by
the orchestra and choir. Mrs.
Kinsman sweetly sang teh solo,
"It Is Well With My Soul."
