The services at the Baptist church Sun day morning are deserving of special men tion. It being the Sunday specially set apart for young men's work, the Y. M. C. A. was represented by C. S. Ensmlni.er, president and Geo. T. Campbell. Mr. Ensminger read a short paper giving the story of the past of the association in this place from its organization in the old Con gregational chapel down to the present time. Mr. Campbell gave a very earnest talk con cerning the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the need of such work and stirred up con siderable interest by statistics which he gave. lie said, there are eighteen men in Owosso who give 8525 a year apiece, an aggregate of 89,450, for the privilege of ruining young men. If such an amount were given the association for only three years it could erect and furnish a building for redeeming and saving young men. And If the 898,000 which is estimated passes over the bars In this city every year in nickels, dimes and quarters, three-fourths paid by comparatively young men, were given the association for one year, a build ing costing 830,000 could be erected and 808,000 wonld be left, tho Interest on which at 0 per cent would furnish over 84,000 for the running expenses or more than twice what is now expended. Mr. Campbell made an earnest plea for the assistance and sympathy of all Christian people for the organization which was attempting to reach this class and which seemed to be the only one which could reach the younc men. The pastor, Mr. Matteson then made an eloquent address, in which he said that if the church had been fulfilling Its duty and members had been earnest In carrying on their work this terrible load of Baving the young men would never have been left to such an association as the Y. M. C. A. He thought the church should never have let the condition of things become such as they aro and expressed his hearty sympathy for the work of tho association and his deep interest In it. The Baptist Roll Called. Tho roll call at the Baptist church Friday evening was a success In every way. Invi tations had been sent out by the committee In charge, to all members and many others who are regular attendants at the church. On the pulpit platform, which was prettily decorated with plants -and flower?, stood an easel holding a life size portrait of a former pastor, the late John Donnely I). D. T'lose In attendance were shown to their seats by young ladies who acted as ushers during the evening. Atter singing, the reading of a psalm by Rev. Farnum and a prayer by Rev. Lyon, the first part of the regular program was entered upon by the reading of a very Inter esting outline of the church history by Miss Anna Uurrell. In this paper, which was written in a yery happy vein, were recounted the struggles and triumphs of the church from Its earliest organization down to the present time. Especial. mention was made of the work in building the present place of worship, wnicn was at tne time the largest church building In the city, and of the large harvest fair which was held the fall of Its completion. Rey. Joel Lyon, of lenton, was then in troduced to the church whose first pastor he had been years before. Though feeble with age as he said, after writing a letter say ing it would be Impossible for him to be In attendance and, then forgetting to mall it, he had changed his mind and decided to bring it At the conclusion of Rev. Lyon's remarks Rev. W. L. Farnum, of Flint, an other and the favorite ex-pastor, was called upon and made one of his characteristic happy addresses, dwelling upon reminis cences of tho past which were fond and dear alike to the speaker and very many in the audience. He said It was tho hardest thing he ever did In his life to say no when this church gave him a call a few months ago. The roll call was the feature of the even ing and followed next about two hundred twenty-five of tho members responding in person as their names were called by Chas. E. Rlgley, chairman of the committee In charge, or by letters which were read In their order. This, though a novel feature, was an entire success. Following this came a statement of the condition of the society by E. M. Miller and a few remarks by the pastor, after which the banquet was served in the chapel, about three hundred and fifty persons partaking of the refreshments. This ended one of the happiest and most enjoy able gatherings which has been held In a long time. Personal Mentions. Will Wren spent Sunday in Vernon. Gen. Kldd, of Ionia, was In Owosso yes terday.
