Ingleside: The work at this church
shows progress and is of such a kind as
to stimulate diligent effort. The church
attendance is encouraging and the Sabbath
school shows very decided increase
in numbers. We have inst hnH a voi-v ir.
teresting and profitable meeting conducted
by Rev. F. D. Hunt, our presbyterial
evangelist. There was a prayerful
spirit among our Christians and they
were greatly strengthened and edified.
Nine made profession of their faith In
Christ. Mr. Hunt is much beloved by
our people and the services were well attended.
His sermons were clear and
powerful expositions of divine truth and
so plainly presented that all could understand
the way of life. One of the prominent
things in Mr. Hunt's preaching, is
liis familiarity with the Bible, giving
each chapter and verse for all his statements,
and they are spoken with such
zeal that all are impressed with the truth.
