The Best "fleeting Yet at the Baptist
Church.
Written for The Standard.
Last evening at the Baptist
church a great crowd assembled
to hear the gospel preached and
sung. - ' ,y
The singing by the congrega
tion and choir was inspiring.
Concord has never heard better
singing. The choir is composed
of members of most : all of the
churches: Rev. Hoge appreci:
ates the help of not only those in
the choir but also of Mr. Benson
who has. been at every evening
service and played the organ.
The solo, "Not Tonight"; was
sung by Mr. Wolf sohn in a
powerful manner. The atten
tion was remarkable while the
-. ...... . . - .
song was being rendered. ;
Mr. Hoge's sermon was the best
yet. A very strong argumen
ative exegesis of Matthew 12: 30.
At the close of the sermon a
great number of those who ihad
back-slidden and those who were
unconverted came forward .re
newing their covenant with God
and accepting Christ as a Savior.
Services as usual 9 a, m. and

Atlanta Gets the Prison.
It seems that Atlanta has been
the successful candidate for the
Southern Federal prison. It
means something "over $2,000,000
expenditure of Uncle Sam's
money down there. It will take
probably till 1902 to get all things
ready to hold the Southern con
victs. These will include those
from the District of Columbia,
Maryland and Delaware.
