Notwithstanding the cold of an old-
time November day, a large congrega
tion was present last Sabbath and on-
’oyed the rarely blessed privilege of
earing an old-faBhioned gospel Ber-
mon by Rev. H. S. Rees, of Turin—the
oldest Baptist paBtor in the State, but
still actively serving two churches. The
congregation felt no little surprise
when they saw the venerable minister
read the scriptures without tho aid of
glasses. As this veteran of the Cross
Btood, partriarchal in mien, prophetic
in utterance, apostolic in earnestness,
paternal in bearing, a solemn hush fell
upon the hearers, old and young alike,
and all gave reverent heed from be
ginning to close while the man of God
brought Jehovah’s message to the peo
ple. The soul-stirring impressions of
this holy hour will live in our hearts, and
often encourage us to do good unto all
men while wo have tho opportunity—to
follow the words of the preacher’s text.
