Interesting and Instructive.

While waiting for the services TO begin
at Moore Memorial Church, Sunday after
noon, our reporter was so interested in the
conversation of a group of ladies near him
that he .'tOOk it down."
care YOU going to -- tomorrow
night?" asked one of the ladies Of friend
on her left.
sNo, I'm not. Pa didn't give me the in
vitatiOn until midnight last night, and you
know that don't give me any time to get
ready
'But they'll be expecting you, won't
they?"
"No; cause 1 sent 'em word 1 couldn't
possibly come"
Here No. 3, evidently careful, neat sort
of a person, broke in with, "Oh, dear me.
Look at those boys with their browsy heads
against the nicely painted wall; they'll soil
it terribly"
"Who's that young lady with Billy
C9'
"Why, that's Miss -"
''Is it? Why, thought she was mar
ried."
s.No, it's her sister that's married. See
that young man over there in that second
seat,ain't he handsome?"
Eyes, but then he's married"
''Laws-a-me, is that so? Has he got a
pretty wife?"
ayes tolerably. = They call her the white
lily"
Then there was slight lull, which the
ladies improved in gazing about the church.
But of course they couldn't keep still long,
and one said.
"This church was built with mighty lit
tie trouble, and amt il furnished beautiful?
"Oh yes, of course, but just look at Mrs.
- hat; amt it a fright? 1t would have
looked much better if she'd left that white
ribbon OF. But then she hasn't particle
of taste. fl
''Look, there's Mr.. l thought he was
q Catholic"
'.No he amt. He's a strong Presbyte-
rian.'
at this moment the services began and
the conversation was brought to close.

A boarding House Dead Beat.

A young man about twenty-five years OF
age, formerly employed as railroad fire
man. after beating several boarding house
proprietors and wash-women, went to a
North Market street boarding house, and
after remaining there several months with
out paving his board, was persuaded to
seek other quarters where his company
would be better appreciated, and not having
an opportunity to get his trunk out at this
time without being seen, concluded TO post
pone his proceedings until better oppor-
tunity offered. Last Sunday night about
Ii o'clock. after the family had retired, he
noiseIessly assembled four flights of stairs,
aroused one of the boarders in an adjoining
room and inquired the whereabouts of his
trunk. Not obtaining any information, he
lit q match, ranSaclled the house until he
found il, descended the stairs as cautiously
as he had assembled, proceeded to the depot,
leaving doors and gates ajar behind him,
and, boarding an early train the next morn-
inc, sailed for parts unknown.

MOORE MEMORIAL CHURCH.
Dedication services.

The dedication services of the Moore
Memorial Church, last Sunday afternoon,
were of the most impressive and interesting
character.
The dedication sermon was p. cached 10y
the pastor. Rev. Frank ID. Moore, who read
portions of the second and third chapters of
Exodus, taking for his text the closing pOr-
ton of the 9Th verse of the third chapter OF
Exodus: "Put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place where thou standest is
holy ground"
He said that the history of the worship of
God might be divided into three periods:
the snatnral period" when Abraham, Isaac
aud Jacob worshipped God in the open air;
the sslaw period" which began with Moses
taking charge of the people Of Israel, and
the ..grace- or Christ period. which began
with the death struggles on the cross,
when the ''vail of the temple was rent in
twain" and the '.holy Of HOLES" was ex-
posed to vulgar gaze.
There are a class of writers and thinkers,
he said, who say, ''Wby build house for
the Worship of God? Why not worship in
the open air, as did the Patriarchs?" In
truth, Nature does form the noblest temple
for the worship of God, but it pleased Him,
in choosing a people for himself, to choose
a habitatiop for himself among that people,
and now the house of God is no longer the
wide air of heaven and the wide floor OF
the earth.
At the time referred to inthe text, Moses
dwelt far from his people, and was a sim
pie shepherd on the shores Of the Red Sea.
| The stern faith of their forefathers was
losing its bloom with the people of Israel,
| and God called Moses to become their lead
| er and guide, and he went down into
Egypt and took charge of them. This
mountain of Sinai was the last temple God
made on earth, for he commanded Moses
to build a sanctuary for His worship. With
in that sanctuary Moses built an innermost
temple-a '.holy of holies" into which
none dare go except the highest and hottest
of priests.
The third, or 'Cllrist" period, which be-
gan with the rending in twain OF the vail
of the temple, will last until Christ comes
to Judge us. If God have a people, he
must also have a temple-a dwelling place
among that people. His command comes
to us, "Build Me sanctuary, that L may
dwell among My redeemed" Deem it not
| of less importance where men worship God,
than how men worship God. He is the
author of order, not of confusion. There
| fore build Him a sanctuary, that He may
| dwell therein. The Jewish temple was the
| dwelling place of God, to the exclusion OF
all Others; the Christian temple is dwell
ing place of God, not to the exclusion of all
others. In this spirit, we have built
| temple.

4 Chance for the young Folks.

None of the many donations 10 the
Edgefeld Festival have such singular con-
ditions attached as the Fashion" cook
stove. donated by Cooper, Eubanks & Co.
They have given a complete cooking stove
to the couple that shall be the first to marry
after tonight. To compete for the prize it
is necessary that both the young lady and
gentleman shall attend the Festival to-
night, and they must be presumed to eS-
tablish that fact to the satisfaction Of the
awarding committee, and also TO prove that
they are the first to marry. The parties
must reside in Davidson county, and they
must be married for the first time. No
widow or widower can contend for it. Of
course, all the engaged couples Of the vicin-
ity will attend, and we caution them TO be
certain to take such precautiOn as to be
able to prove that they were in attendance.
When the award is made it will be pub
lisbed by the committee. Who knows but
what some twain may be made one tonight
in The new schOOlhouSe.
