g0- FROM BERKELEY.-We insert
the following extracts from letter
written by "Templar," for this paper,
dated Glengary, Berkeley county, Feb
ruary 7, 1874 -
An unusually large congregation as
sembled last Sabbath, at the Ganotown
Church, it being the occasion of the
Rev. MIR. Cecils closing services for the
present Conference year at this appoint
ment.
The services were opened by singing
the first hymn in the Methodist collec-
ton, so for thousand tongues to
sing" etc. The minister then gave out
the hymn commencing 80 for. heart
to praise my God, etc, after which he
announced as his text. Let your light
so shine before men, that they may see
your good works and glorify your Faith
er which is in heaven" and upon which
he based q very good, practical sermon,
and which was listened to with intent
interest. The reverend gentleman in
sisted that the Christian should be
known by his daily walk and converse
ton rather than by their name of Chris
tians, and l think that he is right, for if
they cannot be thus recognized, their
professions Of piety will not amount to
much.
Mr.. Cecil is very much beloved by
the people of the circuit, who have pc
titioned for his return for another year.
He is a workman that need not be
ashamed.
A protracted meeting has been in
progress for several weeks at Riner's
Church, and under the joint supervision
of Revs. Walsh and Cecil. Some TWEEN
ty.one persons have professed CONVEX
sion and fifteen or sixteen are still seek
ing the pearl of great price.
There was little excitement raised
last Sabbath, caused by horse attached
to light wagon taking fright, and rum
ming away. The horse belonged to DR..
Goldsborough, of Gerardstown, and
was being driven by Miss Mary Hiett,
who was thrown out, but providentially
she received no injuries. The vehicle
was considerably broken. 1t was mar
row escape for Miss Hiett.
Last Friday Mr.. Adam Ketterings
house caught fire from sparks falling
upon the root. Mr.. and Mrs. Ketteripg
were the only persons at home at the
time, and they were at dinner. The
burning Goals falling from the roof upon
the upper floor attracted their attention,
and they thus discovered the fire in
time to extinguish it before much dam
age was done; as it was, several holes
were burned in the shingles.
Mr.. George Mason son Of Mr.. David
Mason, was cutting wood in the woods
last Tuesday, and instead Of attending
to his work, he was listening to the
barking of his dog, and trying to cut
, at the same time, but he made failure
to the extent that he struck his knee
with his AK, instead of cutting the
wood. Proyidentially his hurt is not q
serious one.
The fact that Charlestown is the
county-seat of Jefferson county would
lead to the inference that the editors of
the Free Press would have plenty of
news for their columns, yet | notice
that these gentlemen have honored
Templar by making him the subject of
a paragraph in recent issue of their
paper. Surely there must be dearth
of items at the county seat, or they
would not have devoted so much space
