IN effort is being made to prepare the history
of the Churchyille Presbyterian Church, from the
beginning to the present. The sources of infor
nation about the earliest days are few and scant,
inasmlIch as our forefathers undervalued records
Any person who can give me any reliable infor-
nation will confer a great favor by doing so.-
Some of the oldest families in the county were
originally connected with this church. Their de-
scendants now living, may have old letters docG-
ments or well preserved traditions which would
supply information, directly or indirectly, not to
be otherwise gotten. Such papers, &c, would be
taken care of and safely returned To their owners,
with many thanks for their use. Information is
especially wanted Of the time prior to 1140 The
church was originally located on the farm OF the
Churchville and Glenville. The history of Har-
ford unity cannot be complete without the COR
rect history of this old church. and all others
Hence every public-spirited citizen should be
anxious to recover from oblivion the facts of its
origin, If possible. Any letters, papers or infor-
nation may he left with Rev. r ID. Finney, Bel

PALM SUNDAY AND Holy WEEK.--From an
early period in the history of the church the Sun
day before Easter has been called Palm Sunday,
from the custom of commemoratng, on that
day, the last entry of the Saviour into Jerusalem
before His betrayal by Judas, when the people
took branches of palm trees and went forth to
meet Him, crying "Hosanna." In the Roman
Catholic and Greek churches palm branches or
other evergreens are blessed by the priest, on
this day, and distributed to the people, who carry
hem in procession, to recall the circumstances
attending Christ's triumphant entrance into
the Holy City. Palm Sunday is the beginning
of Holy Week, the most solemn and pentential
season in the church's calendar. In the Pro.
testant Episcopal, US well as in The Eastern
churches, special services are held every day
during the week, and the story of the Savionr's
sutierings and death are dwelt upon more rarti.
cularly than at other seasons.
Thursday of Holy week is called Maundy
Thursday, or Holy Thursday, and has been mark
ed from an early age of the church by acts OF
humility in imitation is the humility Of the
Saviour in washing the feet of His disciples. -
In oldcn times this custom was initiated by
kings and princes, who thought II fitting, in
the spirit of their religion, to wash the feet Of
poor persons, as token of their humility be
fore God To this day the Pope of Rome, or
Holy Thursday, washes the feet of thirteen poor
| priests
| tfhe Friday before Easter is called Good Fri
| day. On this day in the Roman Catholic, thu
Greek, the Protestant Episcopal and othe
churches the services are of an unusually solemn
character, the exercise of fasting is more rigid,
observed, and the minds ofthe people, by servic,
and sermon, are drawn towards the crucifXioI
| of the Saviour, as an atonement for the sins o
the whole world. In England the day is one o
| two Christmas being the other on which al
| business is suspended. The observance is no
| so general in this country.
The penitential season of Lent closes on tn
| Saturday before Easter.
