JUBILEE SERVICES. -The services in con -
action with the 25th anniversary of the
vangelical church, here, were held on
Sunday, November 26th, and were a most
gratifying success, Rev. H. Heinmiller, of
Cleveland, Ohio, preached two excellent
and inipressive sermons on Sunday to large
congregations and in the afternoon he ad-
dressed the Sunday school. On the Mon-
ey evening he delivered a lecture on "The
young man and the Bible." As on Stinday,
the church on this occasion was packed,
and the lecture was most interesting,
and int t.:uctive, containing ste it
did. much good and sound advice, and all
ho heard it could no but be the better of
having listened to such an earnest and con-
vincing addrese. The proceeds of the ser-
vices amounted to nearly $50. Many
changes have taken place in the congrega-
tion in the last twenty-five years and in the
next quarter of a century there will likely
be mana more,
NOTE -Mr. Henry Ortwein returned
