Church Notes.

In the Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist
churches. last Sunday the pastors held SER
vices in their respective churches.
In the First Presbyterian church, Rev.
VIM. Z, Baker being absent on Presbyte-
rial work, Rev. D. B. Ewing in the morn
ing preached convincing sermon on the
fulfllment of The prophecies. After the
sermon DR.. Ewing, who is agent for
Hampden Sidney College. made strong
appeal in behalf of that time honored in
stitution. the nursery of SO many Presby-
terrain ministers.
At night Rev. A. T. Graybill, Of Mata-
moras, Mexico, delivered an entertaining
lecture on Mexican missions. Mr.. Gray
bill is native of Botetourt county in this
State, went to Mexico with his wife more
than four years ago. There was not a
Protestant in the city when they reached
there. But Providence had opened the
way for them by means of a bible winch a
U. S. Officer had left thirty years ago dur
ing the Mexican war with Mexican wo.
man, whose son was in Matamoras when
Mr.. Graybill went there, became their in
structor in Spanish, afterwards convert
and native teacher and preacher. From
this beginning they now have two church
organizations in Matamoras and Browns
vile OF 200 members and neat and CON-
fo,1 able brick church with three Sabbath
schoo Is of $50 children and fourishing
day sci, ools. Mr.. Graybill in conclusion
said that Mexico after centuries of enthrall-
ment by Roman Catholicism in its most
bieoted form, was now thrown open to the
Protestant religion and we had only to go
up and possess The land.
The congregsti On of the Second Presby-
terian church have just had their church
re-roofed. The old one having been con-
sidered unsafe, was all taken off and new
one with heavier timber5 and strong iron
braces placed in its stead. The builders
were Messrs. John V, Erwin and A. w.
Grove, and they have done their work well
if we may Judge from looks, the structure
now presents substantial appearance
and being we'll and neatly finished looks
really better than at first.
The pastor, Rev. j. E. Booker. will com
mence the usual weekly services in the
building at II A. M. next Sunday, anG
will preach only once on Sabbath, viz: IL
the morning, until further notice. Tit
Sunday school of that congregation will
now meet in the church at $50 A. NJ.

at those legs and never touched one of
them. He was hot, blind and wild with
terror and confusion. Once he tried to
sing to the baby, but when he quavered
out "Hootchy, pootchy, pudden' and
pie" the women laughed, all but the
gloomy, one who talked bass she snifHed,
and he stopped. He gave the baby his
pearl-handled knife, and the innocent
threw it into the stove. he gave it bis.
gold watch, and it dashed it on the floor.
He gave it his emerald scarf pin, and the
baby put it into its mouth.
The pretty woman screamed.
The sad woman in the bombazine
shrieked.
The angular woman in the sun bonnet
yelled, ooh, mercy on us J"
The fat woman with the market basket
called wildly for doctor.
The gloomy woman who talked bass
shouted hoarsely:
ssHe's killed it!'' 5si
And MI. Thumbledirk hooked his flu
ger into that chiid's mouth and choked it
until its face was purple and black,
trying to find that pin. And Mr. Thum.
bledirk couldn't near even the chattering
women It beat the air with its clenched
fists, and thrashed and kicked with its
fat bare legs, !and walled and howled and
choked and screamed and doubled up
and Strengthened out until Mr.. Tumble
dirk, steeling his nerves to the awful eff
fort, clasped the screaming baby in his
arms and rose to his feet.
He was going to go out and throw
himself and the baby uader the first train
that came along.
The baby's mother sprang out through
| the door like an angel OF mercy.
She took the baby in her arms and with
one slight motion OF her hand, had It's
raiment Strengthened out so exquisitely
smooth there wasn't wrinkle in it.
The baby Law in her arms as placid,
quiet, flexible, graceful and contented as
a dream of Paradise.
The mother thanked Mr.. Thumbledirk
for the agony and torture he had endured
so patiently for her. This was the way
she thanked him. She did not look at
him. She looked straight out of the
window with stony glare, and said in
ones that made the thermometer shiver:
"Mr. Thumbledirk isn't very good
nurse, is he, baby?''
All the women smiled, except the
gloomy woman who talked bass. She
nodded approvingly.
The baby looked up into Mr.. Thum-
bledirk's face and laughed aloud. Fgs
What Mr.. Thumbledirk said when he
dashed in at the sanctum last evening
was this; sa #
Spy the avenging daughters of Night,
the everlasting, snake-haired Erynnes,
the terror haunted shades never knew
the horrors that haunt the soul of single
man that tries to take care of some other
fools bowling, squalling squirming
baby!'
