CHRISTIAN   CHIRCH,
.Mlenlinn, I'lease! .All memliers of the Christ ian church and our many friends.
Did ymi know that we are in the midst of a twn montlis' church at¬ tendance campaigii^i' We tlimight a two muntlis, campaign would be miu'li lieller than one liig day. As a minister of tlie (iospel we liave no de¬ sire to be ealled a liiistler nra lioniiier. hill prefer the mm* humble title, "a I'aitJifiil. sleadl'ast, pindder" fur. nur bless«'(i Master anil His church, Tiie c;iiiip.iigii lias iiierea.sed nur ehureh at teiiihiiice al least 2'>% and we are liupiiig that the increase may cnii- tiiiiie until wc reach an attendance of at least 2IKI in tlie regular services, A good vviiiii:iii said the other day in our hearing that her greatesi sacrifice was lo lie denied the privilege of at¬ lending the services. Such a senti¬ ment lia.s a true ring, and if such were tlie com mnn feeling of Christians our houses nf worship would lie too small for the vvorsliipers: as a result the preaclier's power for good in the I'oiiiiiiiinily would be more than doubled and the chinch be iiR'iea.sed in etiiciency many fold. Resolve to meet with IIS lo be bles,sed and lo be¬ come a channel of blessing to others. We purpose preai'hing nn tiie follnvv- ing subjects next Lnrd.sday:
