Dr. C. E. Patton, pastor of the Congregational church of this city, delivered the second of his series of social sermons in his church Sunday evening. His subject was "How to make an American Citizen." He placed before his congregation the life of Jacob A. Riis, of New York, as outlined in Mr. Riis' autobiography. The address was very interesting and showed what a young boy, without means and friends, who comes here from the old country, a stranger in a strange land, can accomplish by perseverance, hard work and a laudable aim in view for the betterment of noe's fellow man. The sermon was very interesting, but cannot be produced here as it should. Those who are interested in the subjects which pertain to country and the betterment of its conditions, politically and morally, cannot afford to lose these Sunday evening talks.
