Rev. Dr. Wlinlou Frenches a Seimon
Reviewing His Flr&t Year's Fan-
loiatc.
At III'- Herein Huptlst church yes
t' nlay morning tin- Hev. Or. 11. J.
Wlmlon, the pastor. In his him mini, re
viewed tin; work that h.nl boon done
tin.' past year In that church, which
was also the llrst nf his paHtnnili' III
this city. The clergyman, In a concise
siatemenl, showed what hail Ihvii ue-
"iiipllshod ami what could he expect
ed In t ho coming year if the present
harmonious rotations continue. Tho
text of Or. WimDn's sermon was from
Samuel, villi:.', '"riicn Samuel look a
stone ami set II between .Mlzpah and
Sehurczah anil called the unmet of It
Kbonozor, suyiiiK. 'hitherto the Kuril
h.ilh helped us.' "
Tho text, said tlii- clergyman, hud
teforenoe to the delightful custom
which existed In olden times of mark
iiR with a white Mono something which
needed to lie coinuu'Uiorated. Samuel
tailed Hie name of the place Kbenezor.
mid the meaning of that much-abused
word N "Help." And so today at the
beginning of this new year we would
icit a tribute to God's help, whlih
'mm been over us In the year we have
lived together, and whether we take
the narrow view of the year wv have
lived together In harmony or consider
tin: mercies that lioil has dealt us, we
must bo grateful to Ulni.
The pastor's relation to the church
.Hid the niembershlp In the past twelve
months was llrst cousldeicil. lie
spoke of loeolviug the call lo the
church, the thoughts that arose, and
"t" the advantages which presented
ihemselves to his mind, on th ton
mogatlon's side there was. of course.
Mime ipiestlou as to his being able to
till the place satisfactorily. He said;
of course. 1 view the pastoral illa
tions of the past year from my own
standpoint. I inn not conscious of any
niiiii or woman laying the weight of a
feather In my way. In our olllclat re
litlniis only the most pleasant things
have oc lined. And may Clod's grace
ui.iko niu mure worthy In th- year on
which we are about to enter. Lot us
.ii the second place notice tho advance
ment In the church's spiritual wealth.
We must not ni 'iisui e the spiritual ac
tivity ol tho past year by our additions.
We have admitted thirty to our church
membership the past year, twenty-six
by confession of fatth and four by let
ter. We must not expect young con
verts to ails1 above ihe activity of
those who nit' already and have been
I'T it long lime III tile kingdom of Cod.
And so, dear brethren, while the lu
:,..lherlng has not been law, wo are
nut lo measure our condition by that
means alone. There haa been n dothl
"d Improvement in the heart feelings
"f tiuv church."
The pastor went on to tell of the
wood work done by the Ladles' Aid so-
lety of tho church, of how, unaided
.Hid asking no lulp. the society lias
gun.' ahead and that It had, the past
v ar, ruined $titM. He said that the
i i-eimurcr of the church had, on Satur
day, forwartlotl a cheek paying the hi.
teivnt on the church debt, and also re-
hieing l ho principal of the deht soiu
S.'OU. "These are the lesser things. On
tiif spiritual side the Sunday school
li.is been making a splendid record.
While we liuv mil brought our thll
'Iicii lulu the church ami baptised
lie-in by thf t weuiy-IIves, fifties and
the hundreds, we have taught thorn
tin- belter things of llf. the spiritual
ami muiul truths. Iiuritig the past
Mar the Voting People's society has
been organized lllto the llaptlst Voitllg
People's union."
Urlully reviewing th: work of tho
iriistee, h" declared lie would say
more If they were not present, but
would content himself by telling tin
oiigrogntlon that the current expenses
uf the church are all belnif paid, and
i hat the. pastor's salary, which was
the cause of crave doubts at tlrst. was

AFTER CITY OFFICES.
Candidates for City Clctk, Solicitor,
Select Chairman, etc., Ate Hust
ling for Support.
('onslderable speculation Is being In
dulged In In olllelal circles as to who
the ollloers of the various niuiMelp.it
bullion will be. The c.ounclhi, poor boutd
and bnard of health reorganize on the
llrst Monday in April, while the reor
ganization of the school board will not
occur until the llrst of June.
The light for th city clerkship, the
most ardent struggle of all, goes mer
rily on. .V. L. Moon, the Incumbent,
and Fred Thomas are each exerting
every effort to tie up a majority- nf
voles, ten b.'lng needed to elect. Hoth
sides claim the advantage, but. ns a
matter of fact, the members still un
pledged make the re.Milt decidedly tin
eel tain, ami In fact, the llnnl may
be the election of a "datk liorhe."
Closely connected with the city
clerk's light Is that for city solicitor.
It. I). Stuart, who has held the olllce
for the two years past Is a candidate
for iv-ch'ctlou and ex-Mayor O'Neill
Is also after the olllce. II. C lltitler's
name has been mentioned but that gen.
tleiuan has made no effort to secure
the position. The outlook Is uncor.
tain.
Quit1 a light Is also being put up
for the chairmanship of common coun
cil. The Kepubllcans have settled on
Hubert Whltlleld. the now member from
th" Tlilid, while the Democrats are
rallying around Alex. Kennedy, of the
Fourth ward, who Is chairman of the
present organization. in the upper
branch the chairmanship will probably
fall to either J. O. Davis or .!. V.
Maunlon.
Anthony F. Loftus. the piosctit deik
ol the common council, whoso wnik
has been highly satisfactory, will
have, from the present outlook, no
opponent. He would, at any rate, be
a hard man lo bout, as he Is strongly
entrenched In the good graces of the
councllmen. It is said. also, that Sec-
i clary Kvans ami Sanitary Olllcer
.Mollltt will have uu opposition.
On the poor board. 11 ('. Wlllluins
will probably succeed I. A. Hlvell
liuig as secretary and John McCain
will bo made treasurer, to siucoed .1.
F. Lynch. It Is Mr. .Morgan's tin n
to b hulrmnn. but whether or not h"
will take the olllce remains to bo soon.
Tne lesult ot the reorganization of the
school board Is a conipbtely unknown
iii:intity. at this time.
