At five o'clock the straios of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, with Mrs. John C. Swygert at the organ, announced the coming of the bridal party.

Sunday last was a beautiful day, the best one for service tbat we have had since last fall, and the people took advantage of it. We attended Nazareth church and found a very large congregation.

George S Bearden. is growing in the esteem of the people although it has been ten years since he be^an to serve them.
