AT CHUBGH
Sony Service in the Methodist !
church last evcniny was especially ‘
yood- as the choir was re-enforced by ■
the voices of M’ - i» *>n and Mr**.
Kllswoith in addition to the reyu*a» ,
members. Mi-s Wd-on ndercd a soio i
so sweetly and effectively that she j
was most heartilv uiyed to meet v.''h J
with the choir a vain n* xt Sunday ev
en iny and assist in th** service. Many i
a church with hundrt d> of m» mbr**<

the people of Seward had the oppor
tunity to enjoy la-d event ny.
Rev. CooV< 'Vihj<*ct was “Th.** ;
simist-’* and his eveniny talk was in
contrast with the one piven the pm- j
cedi up Sunday evening. The script
lessor, was taken from the lSUh chap
ter of Numbers- and the text from t <
2Sth verse of the 13th chapter of to *
same book- which reads: “Howbeit the
people that dwell in the land
stronp. and the cities are fenced, and
very preat.” This wa< the conclusion
of the pessimistic report of the ter.
men who returned from inspectinp the
land of Canaan and it was sufficin'*
to throw ihe whole multitude of nco
nle*into hysterics end make th* m lf»np
for their former condition ot srrvi’mV
in Egypt.
Rev. Cook said he found it rather
difficult to gather material and Wn*
trations on pessimism from the Pible
for aP the great characters mentioned
in that hook were optimistic* sue’' a
