Tomorrow evening he will begin a specially Inter esting course of sermons on Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.

The Beginning of I cnt One week from next Wednesday will mark the beginning of Lent, a season of prayer, abstinence and devotion in the Catholic nnd Kpiscopal churches. The llrst day of Lent Is known ns Ash Wednesday In the calendar of the Catholic church, for on that day the faithful are supposed to be annointed with ashes and to consecrate them selves to penance for the succeeding forty days. In the early days of tin church the bishops on Ash Wednesday imposed public pennnce on sinners. After ashes had boon placed on their heads, the erring ones were driven out of the church with the foot of the cross and remained separated from the faithful until Holy Thursday, three davs before the end of Lent. The season of Lent was orduined for the purpose of giving mnn-an oppor tunity to mortify the llesh and to strengthen his dominion, over the senses. The last seven days of Lent are known as holy week, during which Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday are observed. Lent termi nates with Kaster Sunday, the feast of the resurrection. Condition of Jackson Street church. ' Affairs at the Jackson Street Bap tist church are interesting the local re ligious world at tho present time.. It will be remembered that when Dr. D. C. Hughes left the church pastorate there was - evident dissatisfaction among certain of the members. The doctor resigned and left for New York. Now, these members who were opposed to aceptlnsr the doctor's res ignation are withdrawing from the church. Several Joined the Scranton Street Baptist church this week and others. have anounccd their Intention of leaving the Jackson street body. The older members are standing by their church and are making deter mined effort to obliterate the church debt. A movement is on foot to raise V.im by May 1. Nearly oil he amount has been promised by the "pledge" system. Among the members who re fuse to leave the church there Is deep feeling toward those who have de serted in the hour of altltctton. The Jackson street church Is pastorless at the present time. Some of the members think that the church can better attack the debt if there is no minister's Balary to pay, but others are inclined to the belief that without a head the church can not live. Dr. J. W. Williams, formerly pastor of the First Welsh Baptist church, and now of Swansea. Wales, Is mentioned as a prominent candidate for the pastorate. When Dr. Williams left here several years ago he took with him the best wishes and esteem of everybody that knew him. He has also been partial to an English speak ing congregation and It Is whispered that he Is not wholly pleased with his present environments. For these rea sons it Is thought that Dr. Wiliams would accept a call from the Jackson street church. One thing Is certain, he has the personality, the ability, and general qualifications for rebuilding the Hyde Park church, looking at It from the church membership standpoint. Rev. H. If. Harris Is also mentioned as a possible pastor of the church. About Churches and Church Workers. "Camber W. Kvans. the young West Plder. who left the mines with an ambi tion to enter the ministry, has changed his intentions and will enter some of the many professions open to laymen. The First- Welsh Congregational church is rapidly becoming known as a generous body. Nearly every West Side public meeting of a seml-sacred character Is held In the church. Sev eral choral organizations are also given the free privilege of rehearsing In the church. At the annual meeting of St. Mark's Lutheran church the pastor. Rev. A. L. Ramer. presided. Treasurer D. W. Moser made his report. During the year 1895 there wns collected $1.11G.0i!; Jfl54 were paid for the current ex penses and $M0 were discharged off the church debt, leaving a balance of $1X1 in the treasury.
