M. end >a6. 7 :30 P. M. These serv

especially at night. I would say
to the members of our church, who
do not get out to the morning serv
ices, that you are missing the very
sweetest part of the meeting. Don't
let anything hinder your coming.
We should take time to feed our
souls. The greatest need of peopl?
today is to get the man put back in
Humanity. The church is the great
est means on the earth for that
purpose. Every one who can do so
is cordially invito 3 to attend and
hear these gospei se?mons.
The Baptist association that was
h-.?ld with tho Ch'srcfc at Little Riv r
was a great success. Every one
enjoyed it. Tho hospitnlity of the

THE BAND AGAIN"?
In last week's issue we had a short
article; on the Brevard Band, but
that wis written without having had
an opportunity to hear the Band
play and since th&t time, we had had
the opportunity of listening to
their efforts and we wish ? to con- I
gratuiace their effortg^ and^we wish
t?\ congratulate the "BarnP and" the*
members of same, and also Prof.]
-ion. the splendid show made
by" this Organization.
It was largely 'due to the untir- |
ing efcOrts of our good friend, Hume |
Harris, that ynr were able to get the
band started and then by the gen
erottS contributions of many of our
citizens a sufficient fund was col
lected to buy the instruments and
then to this was added our good
fortune in seouring the services of
Professor Cutter who a Band
master of long experience.
Professor Cutter f^ivea marfy
members of the Band private in
structions, and that coupled with the
general instructions given at each
meeting of the entire membership
of the Band, has made it forga
r'.ta'i very rr.pidly.
We again wish to congratulate
tlic leaders' and members of the
Bnd fov their splendid and ^aithfui
work and* hope that hext " fciuaimer
wxs. v/ill finj the Bond able to ?ive
regular concerts in the Band stand
on the square; for, the benefit of our
citizens and of tho visitors in our
community. - 'i - > '
