The seoopd Presbyterian Church, Charleston, s C.
This fine old edl6ce which was dedicated in 1911,
the corner stone having been laid in lS09 has re-
Gently been thoroughly overhaued, and the exterior
repanted and repaired. The work is not quite
finished, but enough is done to show how very
handsome the building will appear when completed.
Two years ago the interior was repalnted, and the
roof and ceiling, which had been injured by shells
during the war were restored In TACT an entirely
new roof and ceiling had to be put on.
The situation of the church is perhaps the finest
in the city. There is the elegant square n front of
the church, which, with the beautiful City of the
dead in the rear and on the north, impresses the
worsbipper with an air of peaceful rest and hal
lowed quiet. On entering the outer vestibue the
eye of the visitor is attracted to the marble tablet,
ITO our Soldier Dead, containing the names of
twenty four young patriots who gave their lives for
all that man holds dear. Round the walls of the
church are several tablets erected to commemorate
the virtues of former pastors and elders. From
this church sprang both the Central and Glebe
Street Presbyterian churches, and she may truly
be called 1.-The Mother Church"
The pastor, the Rev. G. R. Bracket D. D., re-
turned to the city few days since, and hes again
commenced his labors with loving and affection

The N, steries Of Life Insurance

IRON inc PROVIDENCE journal II
The Importance OF carefulness In minute
and apparently unimportaHt details In maxi
Ing application for life insurance Is strikingly
illustrated in q case tried before Judge
Knowles, in the United States District Court,
last week, Mrs. Maria Wheaton, 80 years
old, brought action against the Phoenix Ml-
t,lal Life Insurance Company to recover
$1,000 Insurance on the life of her son. The
policy was taken out In 1868, and the annual
premium of $lS5 had been annually paid dur
lug the, life Of the young man supposed to be
insured.
The insurance company resisted the pay
ment on the ground that in the answers TO
the three or fourscore questions propounded
70 applicants Tor life insurance, the state
me is in this case In two instances were
wrong. The age Of the father at his death
was overstated three years, and the age of a
sister at death was also three years more
than the applicant thought. There was also
an objection, we believe, that the applicant
ald not remember to enumerate in his fathers
family Chi Id or two who died before the APP
pllcant was born.
Because of these apparently non-essential
errors the company refused the pay, and tho
costs ,Jperils and uncertainties of a suit at
law. The case was tried last week, and
strangely enough, the jury disagreed. The
trouble OF the venerable mother Is aggravated
N another company, which was willing to
honor the claim, but, unfortunately collapsed
before the time OF payment. OF course, the
lesson OF this lady's hard experience is that
