REV. ED THOMPSON'S LECTURE.

       Large congregations were present at the Marlin Baptist church Sunday at the morning, afternoon and night services to hear the lectures of Rev. Edward Thompson of Atlanta, Ga. on Sunday observance.
       Dr. Thompson is from Atlanta Ga. and is one of the most eloquent preachers now before the public.
       Dr. Thompson represents the Sunday League of America and his lectures are non sectarian.  the churches joined in a union service in co-operation with the objects of the lecture.
       It was the first time a representative of this organization has ever visited Marlin and he was given a hearty welcome.
       His discourses were clear, convincing and presented the claims of the sabbath in a practical manner.
