Miss Lizzie Miller closed her laborsher'
in the NJ. E. Church on Sunday night last
The house was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. The singing was conducted b,
Profs. Winfield and W. Il. Weeden, assist
ed by two ladies and three gentlemen, o.
the Centennial Jubilee Singers. Such
church music has not been heard in these
parts for many day. Our people were
much surprised and full Of sorrow when
Miss Miller announced from the rostrum
that the time for her departure was at
hand. She stated that while in the altar
the word came to her that that would be
her last night in Wellsburg, and that she
must go. She has given herself to God
and His work here on earth and prays
without ceasing, we might say, as the
theme she most delights in is God and
His unbounded love to man, and urging
others TO accept his offer of full salvation.
Sunday morning Miss Miller had for her
subject, hWomen speakingin the church" +"
Her text was founded upon the references
to woman and the church, found in chap
ters l. and IA, Pauls first letter to Cor
inthians. The sermon has been acknow-
lodged by all who heard 1t as being a
mastery effort. She cleared away in an
eloquent manner, with scripture only, the
doubts lingering in the minds OF some as to
the propriety OF women speaking in the
church. Miss Miller left on Monday even
ing via P, W. & Ky. for Holidays Cove,
from where she will 60 to her home in
Hancock county to remain few days.
She leaves Wellsburg with the prayers
Of Gods people for her future prosperity
and usefulness.
The Jubilee Singers gave another one OF
their soul stirring concerts at the Presby-
terian Church last Saturday evening.
