RELIGIOUS NoTEs There seems to
be a forward movement all along the
religious line in Morgantown. All
the pastors of Churches are holding
special services, and each with more
or less success.
The meeting at the NJ. E. Church
in this place is increasing in interest.
A number have professed conversion,
several have united with the Church,
and others are still at the altar as
seekers.
Rev. j. r. Thompson preached to
a large audience at the Baptist
Church Sunday night. j
The week of prayes was observed
at the Presbyterian Church last week.
The meetings have been protracted,
and services will be held every night
this week. A number have joined
the Church since the meeting be-
gan. e
The revival at the Academy is Still
in progress. Rev. A. t. Cralle, who
is conducting the meeting, is good
preacher and whole hearted Chris
tian, and we are happy to note his
success. Rev. Geo. G. Westfall, who
assisted Mr.. Cralle last week, has
gone home. |
Rev. j. w. w. Bolton, Presiding
Elder of the Morgantown District
NJ. Z. Church held his second Quar-
terly Meeting in this place on Satur-
day and Sunday. He preached four
excellent sermons to large audiences.
He is about as perfect specimen of
a we'll rounded fully developed man,
physically, as we know of and his
intellect is correspondingly strong
and vigorous. He is the: handsom-
est member of the West Va. con-
ference and has few equals as a
preacher.

EEL WooNDEps;BY SOME UEKNowN
PERsoS.-On Thursday evening of
LAST Week whie,a crowd was gather
ing at LazzelIs School House in Cass
District, to have spelling match, q
number already being in. the house,
the report, OF. = a pistol was heard,
though nothing was thought of it for
some time, until Rufus Lazzell, son
of Cornelius Lazzell, discovered that
a pistol bullet was lodged in his leg.
He was :capried home and the Drs.
Brock called, 1t was found that the
bullet had entered the thigh about
six inches above the knee, ranging
downward toward the joint. Z. The
physicians explored the wound
to the depth Of about six inches
without finding it. If the bull
let should be lodged in the knee
serious consequences will follow,
otherwise it may not seriously in
jure the young man. The shot evil
IDENTIFY was fired by some one in the
house, but who the party was, is still
mystery. We have no idea that
the shot, was maliciously fred, yet
the factof the occurrence, being an
accident is poor consolation to the
boy, if he should lose his leg. 1t is
the result of boys carrying pistols
and is an eloquent argument in favor
Of its suppression.

Our good and worthy citizen, Mr.
John Good, thought it would be a
good thing if he gave his good neigh
bors a good exhibition by initiating a
good horse. just then his good wife
with whom he don't get along very
good, passed by. Good took this for
a good opportunity, expanded his
good lungs, and gave vent to a good
first class horse whinny. But
Goods good wife thought the joke
was too good, and strai9htway went
to our good Mayor and had her good
husband arrested. After a hearing
His Honor decided that it would be
for the good of John Good and the
good of this good community to fine
Good ~ in good lawful money.
To the good intention Of the goo 4
Mayor, Good demurred,a and therefore
Good was sent to the good hotel, de
Grow, which is known. far and near
for good grub and good accommoda
ton. Good stayedin his good quar-
tiers for two good days, whenghe con.
cluded that the coolest thing for
Good was to pay-his fine and let
good enough alone. He did this,
and left his good quarters, d sadder,
il not gooder man.

Mr.. WILLIAM PRICE, no doubt, had
forgotten the fact that the citizens

pose to talk about her neighbors and
abuse everybody that came in her
way; and when she ''meddled" with
his affairs, he went for her in reg
ular johnny Bull style. Aunt Sallie
does not believe that foreigner has
n right to interfere with her ancient
privileges, and made complaints to
our worthy Mayor about Mr.. Prices
transgressions. The sequel no doubt
will be hearing before His Honor
before long.

TuE Kinpwood Journal. in sneak.

THE kingwood Journal, in speak
ing of President Thompson's recent
lecture in that place says: lit was
a very large audience that assembled
in the Courtroom, Saturday night,
to hear the magnificent lecture of
President Thompson, of the West
Va. University, on The Sovereignty
of Manhood" 1t was not a disap-
pointed audience, for the lecture was
all, both in its delivery and subject
matter, that Mr.. Thompson's splen-
did reputation as an orator and
thinker led us to expect. The lee
ture did good too. 1t was mora
invigorator. 1t must have caused
evey one who heard it to resolve to
live better, a purer, a truer life.
There were no sudden outbursts of APP
plause as the speaker closed sen.
tence after sentence of wonderful rhe-
torical beauty, hot with the warmth
of genuine earnestness, but there was
something better than that. There
was the very best of attention, ex-
hibeted by the almost profound still
ness of the audience, as it hung on
his every word.
1t occurred to us while listening
to the lecture, that Mr.. Thompson
himself is splendid specimen of
manly men and regretted that every
| young man in the land could not
hear his address.
On Sunday morning Mr.. Thompson
dedicated the new NJ. f. Church
building at Snider's in this District.
The audience occupied the entire ca
pacity of the building. The sermon
was historical. The growth of the
Church contrasted Herewith. The
neat new building cost little over
/ $1,000, and there was balance of
1915 due after the sermon was con
Guided. 1t was paid off in 25 min
utes, aud the house dedicated free OF
debt. The people of that neighbor-
hood have done well, and deserve
great praise.
On Sunday night Mr.. Thompson
addressed very large audience in
the NJ. +. Chuch here. The text
1 was Jobs oft-quoted words--."If a
man die shall he live again. The
subject was, "The Reasonableness OF
the Christian Doctrine of future
Life" The proofs adduced were
purposely taken from nature, and
then all that the Bible declared OF
the subject was .supcradded. 1t was
a magnificent sermonl lecture. "Does
death end allY' was answered in the
negative with consummate skill, in
yincible logic, and powerful oratory
Every soul in the audience was stir
red. The sermon was six years il
making, and was suggested by &
gorgeous sunset that Mr., Thompson
and the Rev. George ii. McGrev
witnessed together, when Mr.. Thomp
son spent the Summer here six year,
ago. Standing on Mr.. Herman
then unfinished house on the hill,
they beheld, with clasped hands, the
gorgeous beauty of the sun that sci
