Bishop Peterikin Among the Peo-
pie and How He lmpresses
F.rpNoSr, lima 10 1878.


ELTON IutellIsoncer;
On Friday evening last, the 9Th inst,
Bishop Peterkin preached 10 our place
and confirmed seven persons according to
the rites of his church. Although the
announcement that he would be in town
had been made only that morning, a
large audience gathered to hear and see
the new Bishop, Of whose conservation
we read but a few days ago. His clear
and distinct articulation, manly bearing
and Gospel sermon seemed TO impress all
with his fitness for the high position TO
which he has been called. As the Epis'
copal Church was considered unsafe for
a large audience, the services were held
in the NJ. P. Church.
Yesterday Sunday was a day oil more
than ordinary interest to the members Of
the Methodist Protestant Church OF this
community. A former pastor, Rev. AT.
Pierce, Of the Second N. P. Church oil
Pittsburgh, was present and preached
morning and evening. Communion ser.
vices we're also held in the morning, a
large number participating in the solemn
observance Of that feast instituted by
Him who said, "This do in remembrance
Of me-" Three persons were baptized
and four received to membership.
In the afternoon the Sunday School
celebrated It's forty.third anniversary.
The church was decorated for the occa'
sion and presented q beautiful appear
ance, Addresses were made by Rev
Pierce, DR.. w. W. Granger, and the su
p%erintendent, Thomas G. Miller. That
Of Rev. Pierce was rather a sermon L
children from the text, Lamp"
His school is an outgrowth oil what
would now be called a union school,
organized away back in 1921. The mod
ern idea Of Sunday School work was moi
then conceived, as this first. school wa
organized at adwelling and for the pur-
pose Of teaching the children TO read
Fifty seven years, however, make a grea
change in ideas and methods oil work
During the forty.three years since THU
N, P. school was organized there have
been ten superintendent, Gov. Peirponti
term was the longest, he serving in thaI
position Is years.
Although but a young man, under thir'
ty, Rev. Sir. Pierce is considered an ex
c~eilent~ preacher; his having charge Of a
aourshing church in Pittsburgh speak
we'll OF his ability. he has many friends
here in Fairmont.
An infant son OF Mr.. L. @. Powell, Jun
ior editor OF The Rea Vrginiaa, died
yesterday morning, and was buried this
afternoon. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy OF many friends.
The closing exercises OF the Normal
School draw near, aud great preparations
are being made for Commencement week
