The PTesbyterial
consisted of Rev. J. B, French, D,
D., of Fort Worth, Rev. J. G.
Varner, of Decatur, and Judge J,
C. Scott, Elder of the First Presby-
terian Church, Fort Worth. Dr.
French preached from the text
Acts 9th chapter and nth verse:
"And behold he prayeth." The
sermon dealt with prayer, its ob-
ject, reasonableness, privileges
and benefits and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Dr. French pro-
pounded the qnestions to pastor
and people by which they assumed
mutual vows for the peace and
prosperity of the church, and for
discharging the several duties be-
longing to each in their respective
relations. Rev. J. G. Varner
charged the pastor, pointing out
many important phases of the
pastorial office. Judge Scott then
charged the people, reminding
them of their responsibilities and
the necessity of promoting the
interests of the cause by a hearty
support of the pastor.
After the benediction the mem-
bers of the church gave their pas
tor the right hand of fellowship.
The church is deeply interested
and all phases of church enter-
prises are receiving hearty en
dorsement. The deacons are pre-
paring to supply the church with
the new Presbyterian Hymn Book
recently adopted by the General
Assembly and now in print.
The choir has reorganized and
will furnish excellent music for all
services. The pastor, officers and
members extend a cordial invita-
tion to the public to visit the
church and join in the services.

. WOMAN'S WEIGH
Does not always keep pace with woman'*
will. There are energetic, home-loving
women who by sheer force of will keep
themselves going, and fancy that strength
of will can take the place of strength of
body. But it can’t. Every day wul see
a loss of
strength,
and tna t
loss will be
indicated
by a loss
of weight. When
the weight begins
to fall below the
normal it is time to
ask, Why?
In general, ill
health in women
may be traced to
those womanly
diseases which
sap the
strength and
undermine
the vitality.
Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Pre-
scription
dries enfeebl-
i n g drains,
heals inflam-
mation and
ulceration,
and cures female weakness. Where the
disease is marked by loss of flesh, there is
a steady regaining of weight coincident
with the cure which proves the renewal
of health to be thorough and permanent.
