The OLDEST CHURCH IN THE UNITED

has the honor OF having within its
limits the oldest church in the United
States. 1t is St. Luke's Church, anu

from Smithield, about twenty miles
from Norfolk 1t was erected in 1882. Of
bricks imported from England. In 1852
it received its deuominational name.
The Rev. Mr.. Fulkner was one of its
first pastors, and there are records to
show that he was in charge as late as
1914. All Of the material of the church
was imported, even the lime and wood
work. The timber is of English oak,
and was framed previous to shipment
Where it has not been exposed too
much to the elements it is still perfectly
sound, while the mortar is so hard that
steel brought in sudden contact with it
produces sparks. On the eastern side
there is window twenty feet high. of
stained.g glass, representing Scriptural
subjects. The pillars strengthen
the walls, are wide at the base and taper
towards the eaves-have somewhat
moul1ered, and various shrubs aud
vines, and even small trees. have rooted
themselves therein. In 1887, or one
hundred and five years after it was built,
it was given new roof OF shingles, and
in 1927 it received its third covering
An effert is now being made to raise
means to repair the old church, and i. is

3ll meet with the fullest success.

An Unwilling CORPSE.

A most extraordinary case OF SUSPENDED
animation recently occurred in Shelby
county, about thirty miles from Dayton.
An old woman in whom the lamp OF life
was Pickering ready to expire at the
falntest breath-was the subject, yet her
little spark of life clung to her aged form
with tenacity that was remarkable. Her
name was Mary Slaughter; she was in her
eighty eighth year, and one OF the Oldest
settlers of that portion of the State. With
the increase Of years she became weak and
childish, and at times would remain for
weeks in an unconscious state. taking no
sustenance and scarcely moving to show
| that she was still living. Thursday Of last
week hardly any life was perceptible. Her
limbs and body grew cold, and every sign
of life and breath departed, and the family,
assured Of her death, sent the next day to
Carlisle for a coffin and notified her re-
Iatives.
| A hearse containing coffin arrived from
Carlisle Friday afternoon. But to the sur
prise of friends and The assembled relatives
of the supposed deceased, and of the under
taker himself, the corpse he had come for
was no longer corpse, but was returning
once more to life. No ice had been placed
about the body when at first it had been
believed she was dead, thinking, perhaps
that life might not be extinct; afterwards
this was forgotten. The watchers who sat
on Thursday night with a cold corpse, had
on Friday night warm body, with the
blood apparently in good circulation. Fri
! eyes Of the corpse of the night before wide
open, looking at them and conscious of
what was going on about her though she
was unable to speak or to move. Thephy-
sician was summoned by the family, and
every effort exhausted to sustain this life.
This appeared impossible, and it again dis
appeared. At three O'Clock Saturday morn
ing there were no symptoms Of life, and
the physicians pronounced her dead. This
Was sustained by the fact that the body
had begun to mortify. and it was evident
/ could not long be preserved. Before the
burial her relatives at Stringtown, who
had not seen the old lady since her death,
wished to take a parting glance at her.
The coffin was opened, and the smell of
modification was almost too strong to be
endured. But those who looked were as
oaished by the appearance of the eye-lids,
Which appeared to culver, but they did not
open. The body was found to be again
warm and the heart beating. The funeral
was postponed, but the warmth passed
shortly from the body, and it's death be-
came ap. parent, and the odor of putrefac-
ton was not restrained. Sunday there
| was no change or any indication of life,
and in the afternoon it was decided to bury
the corpse. Dayton (O.) Journal.

RUSSIAN PIETY.-Are not The Russians
a religious people? Most .assuredly they
are. They go to church on Sundays and
holy days; they cross themselves when they
pass a church, or an icon icons are pictorial
half-length representations of the Saviour,
of the Madonna, or of q saint } they take
the holy communion they keep the nu-
merous fasts of their church, and they
make occasional pilgrimages to holy
shrines. And this is all-this satisfies them
They have no doubts respecting their spir-
itual SAFETY, no fear of future retribution,
no dread of death. Their blind faith in
the magical efficiency of church ceremonies
enables them to live without spiritual anx-
ieties, and to die with unreasoning stolidi-
ty. The ethical value Of this faith in cere-
monial observances is very low. Religion
is very generally disassociated from moral
itv. Hence" says Wallace, ''such Incl
dents as the following are still possible A
robber kills and rifles a traveller, but re-
Trains from eating piece of cooked meat
which he finds in the cart, because it hap
pens to be fast day A peasant pre-
pares to rob a young attache of the Aus
trian embassy in st. Petersburg, and ulti-
mately kills his victim, but before going
to the house he enters church and COM
mends his undertaking to the protection
of the saints A housebreaker, when in
the act of robbing church, finds it diff
cult to extract the jewels from an icon,
and makes VOW that if certain saint as
sists him he will place ruble's worth Of
tapers before the saints image!''

NEARER HOME.

NEARER HOME.
One sWeetly solemn thought
Comes to me DER and DER
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I've ever been before.
Nearer my fathers home,
Where the many mansions be;l
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea,
Nearer tho bounds of life,
Where We lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the dim and unknown streams
That leads me at last to light.
Closer, closer. my steps
Come to the dark abysm,
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
Father, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the night of my faith;
Let me feel as l would when I stand
On the rock of the shore of death.
Feel as would when my feet
Are slipping on the brink;
For it may be Pm nearer home,
Nearer now than think

INNOCENCE is not virtue. Innocence
is weak, virtue lies in It's power to resist
and endure the weakness of innocence is
in it's ignorance; therefore, the change
from ignorant youthful innocence to one of
enlightened manly OF womenly virtue, is
one that mothers should hasten, instead of
retarding when the eyes of their children
have been turned toward the alluring fruit
of the tree of life; then, when the tempter
comes, Offering this fruit for their use, they
will be able to discern the evil from the
good; for the fruit of the knowledge of
evil, and the fruit of the knowledge of good
grow together side by side, on the same
tree.

= THE GRACE OF GOD enlarges every part
Of man, as moisture and warmth do a
tree. A Christian not only grows in the
fulillment OF duty, but in the enjoyment
of it as well. His conscience is not only
rendered more acute, bnt his SUSCEPTIBLE
ties OF enjoyment are more keen and album
dant. Grace acts on the soul as water on
a sponge. 1t puts it into a condition to
absorb and take in more than before it was
thus moistened and made yielding. Hence
it is that man feels more and better, has
larger hopes and keener joys lis more COM
panionable, charitable, and generous, as he
grows heavenward.-W. Fl. Fl. lNawray.

The Arithmetic Of Life.

Rev. DR.. Henry Smith, in addressing the
senior class of-Lane Seminary on COM
mencement day, gave this graphic view of
the opportunities of life:
Do YOU remember the memorable logic of
that rem; srkable arithmetic speech which
Thomas lie Quincy made to himself and
to some il imaginary friend, when standing
precisely v there you are standing to day, at
the beginn ing of his work of life: ''My
friend, you make very free with your days;
pray, how n lsny do you expect to have ?
What is your rental as regards the total
harvest of days which this life is likely to
yield? Let us consider Then follows
his arithmetic, which I give without his
language. Seventy years of life yield Is, :
$50 days. Remember now, that twenty
years have gone before beginning before
having attained any skill or system, or any
definite purpose in the distribution of
time.
Deduction No. l, for twenty years before
beginning, 1900 days; remainder, 1920
day. Out Of this remainder you have to
deduct one-third, at blow, for one item,
sleep. Deduct No. 2-7,0s0 days, leaving
remainder No. 3-12, 40 days.
Once more De Quincy says, on account
of illness, Of recreation, and the serious &C.
equations spread over the surface of life it
will be little enough to deduct another
third. In the case Of the minister it will
be more, rather than less, for: as 1 under
stand him, the time occupied in public
speaking comes in here-but call it one
third. Deduction No. "a, 060 days, leaves
remainder No. 3-S, ITO days.
Finally, he says, for the item which the
Roman armies grouped under the phrase
''corpus curare" attendance upon the ami
NAL necessities eating. drinking, washing
bathing and exercise-deduct the smallest
proper amount from the last remainder of
$40 days, and you will have less than
1900 days, in a long life, left for the di-
rect development of all that is most august
in the nature Of man. After that comes
the night, when no man can work.
