fiuGiOLS SERVICES
ja the Different Churches on Snn-
aay.
Notwithstanding the mud, the
congregations at tne auxeicut
churches Sunday were very large.
THE OHIO STREET M. E. CHURCH.
The services at this church, it be
ing "children's day," varied from
the regular order, and were very at
tractive and benehciai. 1 ne cnurcu
- orandlv decorated. A terraced
platform, erected in the pulpit off-
Lt was covered with the rare exotics
and house plants olthe ladies 01 me
congregation ; evergreen mottoes,
crosses and crowns, ancnors, etc.,
were tastened to the walls and in
the center of the room were suspend-
twn rins from which swung
EU i" " 1-
numerous cages of birds, carolling
vpet soners. In the morning
UK-" 1.11
thp retrular Sunday school was held
but the program was altered to meet
the demands of the day. After Sun
school the pastor delivered a
morning discourse to parents and
rWWrenuoon the subject "lhere
lation of religion to the human intel
lect," using Luke, 24:45' as a basis
fnr the sermon. At 3 o'clock in the
afternoon the Sunday school con
gress, which had been called for that
time met. The house was filled to
' its utmost capacity and the audience
was instructed by well written essays
and appropriate remarks from differ
ent ladies and gentlemen upon topics
relating to Sunday school work. At
night the annual concert of the chil
dren took place. The program was
long and the exercises simply beauti
ful. Every seat in the house was
occupied, children covered the pul
pit and numbers were turned away.
The whole day's work will long be
remembered by the participators and
'spectators who were present.
THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
' Elder Sage filled the pulpit yester
day and delivered two sermons with
his usual earnestness to large con
, gradations. His morning subject
was "The pastor's work with his
church," and text, Acts 20:2s. In
the evening he preached from Luke
17:17. ' His topic - was "Inquiring
after the nine." He said that about
f the members of
VUb IVllUl v " -
'churches lived up to their profess
. ions, and illustrated the assertion by
describing the aspirations of ten pro
fessed Christians, crediting the de
sire of glory lying God to only one out
oi that number.
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Elder Reid preached in the morn
ing upon the topic "Self-denial,"
choosing Mark S: 34 for a text. In
the evening his texts were Gal. 5:21
and 6 r2, and topic, "Sympathy for
the drunkards." He said that no
man ever made up his mind to live
the life of a drunkard, die the deth
of a drunkard and go to the doom of
a drunkard ; it was not a premedita-
ted crime and therefore we shouia
show sympathy for the perpetrator
if it nn lift him ud. There were
' two confessions in the morning and
two additions by letter at night.
THE DAKOTA STREET M. E. CHURCH.
' Rev. Wood, the pastor, preached
m the morning upon the topic, 1 he
Condition of Christian Disopleship"
taking Mark ;: 34 as a basis for the
discourse. The scripture which he
chose for a basis ot his evening ser
mon was Mark J : 35-37 and his topic,
"The worth and the loss ot the soul.
Both sermons were delivered in Rev,
Wood's characteristic style and call
ed tor close attention from his con
gregations.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The patior. Rev. Newton, preach
ed in the morning upon the account
ot the feast in tne house of inmon,
the Pharisee, recorded in the sev enth
chapter ot Luke. In the evening he
lectured upon the nineteenth Psalm,
"The heavens declare the glory of
God. ' ' etc. The congregations were
both moderate in size and very at
tentive. The sermons were schol-
ary and earnest appeals.
CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIANS.
Rev. Henderson, preached to
good congregations both morning
and evening in his eloquent style.
lis morning text was, Mat. 10:32-
- . -. . . e t fl
33: "Whosoever tneretore snaii
confess me before men," etc. In
the evening his text was John 17 :15:
"I pray not that thou shouldest take
them out of the world, but that thou
shouldest keep them from the evil."
There will be preaching again next
Sunday by Rev Henderson, at the
court house.
CATHOLIC CHURCH.

BUKULAKS AGAIN.
The Residence of Col. B. G.
Wheeler Again Visited.
One would suppose that the burg
lar or thief would always select a
dark night as the most suitable and
safest time to do his work. When
the burglar enters a house on a
bright moonlight night he exhibits
a boldness tnat amounts 10 rec
lessness ; yet that is just what was
done Sunday night at the residence
of Col. Wheeler.
It was about 2 o'clock in the
morning, tol. v heeler bring ao
sent in Chicago, Mrs. Wheeler, lit
tle Edith Harwi and Mattie, the do
mestic, were sleeping in Mrs. Whee
ler's room on the giound floor. Mrs.
WTheeler was awakened by some un
usual noise and on glancing her eyes
across the room saw the form of a
man moving between her and the
dim light that shone through the
window. Thinking it was the girl
who had gotten up, Mrs. Wheeler
called to ber but no response came.
With this the burglar started for the
door and in the dark tell over a chair,
but succeeded in making clear his
escape. Mrs. Wheeler arose from
her bed and reached for a pis
tol that she thought was under her
pillow, and not finding it, she too,
made for the door in .time to see the
man escape, and gave the alarm to
her neighbors.
In a very few minutes Messrs.
Douglas, Tennings and McFarland
were on the ground all "armed to
the teeth," ready to exterminate any
suspicious object that came in their
way. The house was examined
and if was found that the one room
was the only one visited.
While this was going on Mrs.
McFarland saw from her door the
form of a man making his way from
the rear of the yard toward the front
;ate, keeping himself carefuly in the
shadow of the shrubs and trees.
She called across to the scouting
partv, and a reconnoiter under a
flag of truce born by the Times
man, was at once commenced but
no traces of the .missing burglar was
discovered.
On investigation it was found that
the man had forced an entrance
through a wii.dow opening into the
bath room and had unlocked the
outside door for the purpose ot mak
his exit easy in case he should be
detected, which proved a very wise
move on his part. He had taken
everything of value in the shape of
clothing from the bath-room close t.
The burglar had packed these goods
into two bundles and laid them just
outside the window, and then, as is
presumed, he made his final entrance
in the sleeping apartment of Mrs.
Wheeler's after such articles of value
as he could stumble on there and
being caught in the last act rushed
from the room and secreted himself
under the shrubbery m the yard, ex
pecting to return after matters had
quieted down and get his booty but
seeing the approach of armed men
wisely concluded that it was the
safest plan to skip, which he was
Antncr when observed br Mrs. Mc
Farland
Mrs. Wheeler says this morning,
that nothing is missed from the
house which shows that the attempt
to burglarize was fruitless..
Snnness, Gentlemen.
The best evidence in the world as to
the quality ot a piece of work, is the sat
istactkra given to all interested. In
every instance, work executed in the
Times office is guaranteed to satisfy; if
it does not do this not ne farthing will be
charged for the job. The business men
bt Butler know this to be true from past
dealing with us, and we only speak ot the
fact here to remiud them of the advan
tage, derived from bringing their work co
the Times office." tf.
