PEACE AND QUIET,

A Dull Day at matin's feny--BelIaire-
ties Off for the Garden City
Bridgeport Briefs.

Sunday was remarkably quiet day in
Martins Ferry. Very few people were on
the streets, and the day was an uneventful
one, making news items, of course, scarce.
Almost everybody appeared to remain at
home, resting and making up for the dissi-
pations of the GLORIOUS Fourth" Less
people were out promenading than on any
Sunday this summer This was even so of
the evening The attendance at the different
churches was only moderate. At the NJ. Z.
Church the missionary exercises in the
afternoon and evening were fairly attended,
the programme consisting of singing and
experimenting. The chorus consisted of
sahout eighty voices, under the direction of
Prof J. W Schofeld. The blind bows
we're present, and the programme, from the
beginning to the end, was intensely inter
esting.
IMPRESSIVE INSTALLATION CEREMONIES.
OfRev. Thomas Clark, of Martins Ferry,
the Weekly Courier of Poughkeepsie, n. Y,
kindly says: The 24th of June, 1884, will
long be remembered as an important epoch
in the history of the Freedom Plains Church,
it being the day set apart by the North
River PresbyterY for theinstallation of Rev.
Thomas Clark Long before the hour for
the exercises to begin the church was
thronged with people. One of the first fea.
lures that met the eye on entering the
church was the beautiful display of choice
and rare flowers, filling the editice with
their fragrance. Among the numerous de-
signs we particularly noticed large pyn-
mids of flowers on each side of the pulp
also banks of flowers, stars, wreaths anchors,
etc. At precisely o clock the exercises were
opened with the singing of the anthem,
Awake the Song of Jubilee. After reading of
the scriptures and prayer by the Rev. A. B.
Pritchard, sermon was preached by the
Rev. DR.. Dickey, of Philadelphia, his text
being from lst Peter, lst chapter, 9th and
18th verses The sermon was eloquent,
able and scholarly, making deep impress
sion upon the large audience present. After
the sermon. the constitutional questions
we're propounded by the Rev. Mr.. Wright.
The ordaining prayer by the Rev. Theodore
Burnham and the laying on Of hands By the
members of the Presbytery was very solemn
and impressive. After the prayer, the an
them Father, o Hear U.s." was rendered
in an artistic manner by the choir. After
singing the anthem, the Rev. A. b. Prt,
chard delivered the charge to the pastor
which was brief, terse, and full of inStruc-
ton DR.. Wheeler who was to deliver the
charge to the people, was Immortality alb
sent, md the Rev. Mr. Wright, of New
Hamburger, made the charge. If our people
will heed the good and wholesome advic
,and we knew they willy, our pastor
will have no cause for complaint. lie
deserves to have hearty and cordial sup
port from the congregation, to be sustained
n every good work, and to have the prayers
and hearty cooperation of every member o!
the Church Let every one do his or her
duty willingly and cheerfully and every
thing will work together for good and will
resound to the honor and glory of God.
After the benediction was pronounced by
the pastor, he stepped to the front of the pull
pit and received the right hand of fellow
ship from the congregation. Never has
there been in the history of the Church an
installation where there was so much good
feeling and unanimity manifested. There
is dawn of new era for our Church under
the guidance and instruction of our new
pastor Having already gained the love, ad
mration and respect of his peoDle, we feel
assured that he will be the means of winning
MANY, many souls to Christ. We cannot
Il al ont inn no
ladies Of the Church for their good taste in
arranging the flowers at the church, and also
for the bountiful repast provided at the par
sonage for the wants of the inner man.
