Benediction. <br> The Ladies' Society will hold their regular monthly business meeting in the Epworth League room next Tuesday, May 7th at 2:30 p. m. All ladies or the church and congregation are invited to come. <br> The attendance at the revival meetings has been good during the last week, though many were kept away on account of the rainy weather and muddy roads. The preaching by Bro. Kirk has been thoroughly evangelical, and very helpful to Christians as well as those who are not. There has not been a night, when there have not been some who made some move towards a better life. Brothers Douglas and Ingler have contributed greatly to the interest of the meetings by their singing. The meetings will continue through this week. Let us all come every night, and every day invite others to come. <br><br> FIRST BAPTIST. <br> Our debating club will meet the Washington club in a debate on Thursday evening, subject, Resolved, That women should have the right of suffrage. The debate will be held in the school building at the rear of the church and all are cordially invited to attend. <br> The ladies of the church are sparing no pains to make the Birthday social, which will be held in the church next Friday evening, a great success. An informal program will be given and refreshments served. <br> The ladies have sent out a large number of invitations with little sacks enclosed into which each one is requested if possible to put as many pennies as he is years old and to send it if he cannot be present. The ladies promise not to count the money until it is all put together. Everyone can therefore share in the entertainment without embarrassment. <br><br> EAST SIDE BAPTIST. <br> The pastor expects to take a trip South this week but will return for Wednesday prayer meeting and hopes to meet all the members as there is some important business to come before the meeting. <br> A late letter brings the glad word that Mrs. Bothun is convalescent. <br> The church at Ogden is doing a much needed but often neglected work, looking up delinquent members. <br> A letter from pastor Andrews says all departments of their work are prospering. Bro. Andrews has just published a tract on Mormonism which the writer believes should have a wide distribution. <br> Now since we have decided to observe children's day second Sunday in June let all lend a helping hand. <br><br> FIRST CONGREGATIONAL. <br> CHARLES SUMNER.-At 8 o'clock this evening Mr. Brown will give a lecture upon Charles Sumner, the first of three patriotic addresses upon successive Sunday evenings. Please note the change in the hour of beginning, 8 o'clock instead of 7:30. <br> The death of Mr. E. Ray came with such suddenness that many even of those who saw an announcement of it could not believe that it was the Mr. Ray whom they knew. He was perfectly well until Friday noon; before ten o'clock he was gone. <br> The funeral service was held at the residence, 166 McClelland Avenue, at three o'clock last Sunday. <br> As Mr. Brown said in his remarks his life contained many of the virtues upon which our American civilization depends. He was strong, industrious, generous, a good soldier and a good citizen, and in that, a man of simple, Christian faith. We extend to Mrs. Ray and her children our most earnest sympathy in their great and sudden bereavement. <br> The Rainbow Tea given by the Ladies Society, was a very pretty affair. Notwithstanding the bad weather, there was a fairly good attendance. It was held in the Sunday school room, where a number of booths were arranged. Each booth represented one color of the rainbow. The ladies were dressed in the same colors. From the booths were sold salads, sandwiches, ices, lemonade, flowers, candies, etc. The ladies cleared over forty-five dollars. The reading by Mrs. Root was enjoyed by all. She gave "Dealing in Futures." Mr. Radcliffe gave several selections on the big organ. <br> The subject for Y. P. S. C. E. prayer meeting tonight is "The Lessons of Gethsemane," Mark 14:32-52. <br><br>
