though we cannot understand the ways OF
Him who doeth all things well will say, thy
will be done.

The present course-the third-of lectures
before the students of the Westminster Theo-
logical Seminary seems to have awakened a
moro general interest in the community than
either of the preceding courses, although both
were we'll attended. The second lecture was
delivered by Prof. S. Simpson on Monday
| evening in the NJ. p. Church, on The MIS-
sionary Labors of Paul The lecturer did
not follow the usual method OF treating the
subject by merely passing over the several
points made in Pauls various missionary
| tours, but was rather a study of the problem
of missionary work as it presented itself to
Paul. and the result of that work as seen by
future ages. After a rapid enumeration OF the
chief points in Paul's life, the lecturer turned
TO the consideration of the difficulties attend
ing the introduction of Christianity into the
world. because of the spiritually depraved
condition of the world at this time, when, as
Froude SAYS of the Roman people, the splr-
itual quality was gone out of them, and the
higher society of Rome was simply one OF
powerful animals" Moreover, the insignifi-
cant position of the nation giving birth to
Christianity among the one hundred and nifty
ungodly nations of the earth made the pros
pect discouraging. The special endowment
fitting Paul for the task was the next thought
presented. 1t was his amazing faculty OF
dousness of the tone thing was resistless
element of force. In securing his services for
Christianity the church engages the whole
man.
The general wretehedness of society was
illustrated by reviewing the death rate among
the rulers of the world. During S19 years
each Calvan had an average reign OF five
years and two months. The average reign of
Christian monarchs has been about twenty
two years.
The various points of Paul's journeys were
briefly dwelt upon. During this time the
apostle travelled more than 10000 miles,
preached the Gospel from Jerusalem to An
tioch, from Antioch to Ephesus, to Athens
and the region round about lllyrium and
Rome, founding churches as he went, and
establishing the Christians hope in the Cen
tile nations of the world. What was it that
sustained the apostle in his life of unparalleled
labor and endurance? Was it the fact that
he had regard to the recompense of reward
Yea, more. Was it broad philanthropy
that desires the welfare of all mankind ?
Yea, more Was it Christ, the power of God
and the hope of glory in him? 1t was all
these, together with the clear convection OF
the Divine presence in him all the time.
Thus Paul stands before us in the light OF
history after the lapse of Is centuries, superior
to Peter in enthusiasm, SURPRISING Barnabas
in charity, and greater than John in devotion.
As preacher, more eloquent than Chrysos-
tom; as missionary, more Jealous than
Xavier, and as Reformer unsurpassed by
Wielif, Luther or Wesley.
The next lecture of the course will be de-
hvered by Dr. ]. L. Mills, of Washington, D.
c., on Monday evening at p. M, in the M.
P. Chu rch; subject-ssThe Rise and Progress
| of Modern Missions" The lectures are free
and the public is invited.

On Tuesday evening last a large number of
friends and relatives assembled at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Uriah Englar, to wit
ness the marriage of their daughter, Miss
Mollie, toe. Edward Carlisle, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Abdon Carlisle, near Sans Creek.
The spacious parlor was darkened, casting
"A soft and subdued light on the richly attired
assembly, presenting an imposing scene.
Two O. clock was the hour fixed for the cere-
anony, and q few minutes later the organ,
presided over by Miss Jennie Bixler, gave
forth Mendelssohn's wedding march. Pre-
ceded by the ushers, Philip Englar, brother
of the bride, and J. Ezra Stem, the contract
ing parties passed into the parlor, where
Elder Ephraim Stoner, of Union Bridge,
performed the ceremony in a solemn and i'm
pressive manner. The bride, who is OF a
petite figure, was becomingly and handsomely
attired in Havana brown silk with embossed
velvet front, and with ecru kid gloves. The
groom, who is of medium stature, presented
a fine appearance in a neat fitting suit OF
black. with white satin tie. The kid gloves
worn by tie groom, as well as those of the
mshers, were of the same shade as those OF
the bride. The dining-room, to which all
were invited after congratulations had been
rendered, had been transformed by skllffnl
fingers into dream of the beautiful, and re-
aIization of all that could be produced to
tempt and please the Appetite Lucious trop-
zeal fruits, delicious cake, confectionery, ices,
lemonade, and many delicacies from the
''Island Of Sweets" were displayed in tempt
ing profusion. After refreshments all retired
to the parlor, where a happy evening was
passed. Congratulatory kilograms were re-
ceived during the evening The bridal pres
ents were numerous and beautiful, embracing
silver, china and glassware, table linen,
mantel ornaments, handsome Bible, beau
tiful clock and many pretty and useful SOU
yenirs from numerous friends. May peace,
happiness and prosperity attend them through
their earthly pilgrimage, and when their
blooming cheeks assume the pale hue Of
death may their eternal rest be in land
where the flowers bloom and never fade.

Some of our smart Republicans have just
discovered that the Presidents salary is $780,
600 per annum, and are enraged at the waste
of public money. The salary prior to Re
publican rule was S25, 900. During Grants
administration the salary was raised to $780,
600, and Grant violated his oath and the con-
situation when he signed the bill. As long
as Republican rule lasted the $4,000 salary
was all right-since Cleveland is elected it is
all wrong 1t may be comforting to our
smart friends to know that salary of a Pres
ident cannot be decreased during his incum
bencY.

a few appropriate remarks by the pastor, the

company with some choice music. Mrs

at the organ.

Sudden Death.

Mrs Catharine Blessing, wife of Christian
Blessing, died suddenly last Monday morning
about O. clock. She and her husband lived
in small house on the farm of Mr.. Elias
Brothers. about four miles from this city, in
Woolery's district The house is one story
and an attic, and is situated in a woods,
with no road leading to it. 1t is not COM
Portable one, and there these two old people
lived alone-one too feeble from sickness to
help herself, and the other too feeble by age
to do much for her. They had been married
about three years. She was about 81 years
of AGE and he about rs. Their married life
seems not to have been happy one, and
frequent auarrels occurred. Last fall the old
man was confined in Jail for maltreating her.
About ten days before her death Mrs. Bles-
sing, who had not been very well for year,
was taken sick, beginning with severe cold,
which developed into pneumonia. From this
and the want of proper care and attention she
died. Sunday night the old couple retired as
usual. and the husband gave the wife some
tea. which had been prepared by Mrs. Bitzel,
sister of Mrs Blessing. About o'clock IN
the morning Blessing walked up and called
his wife. She did not answer, and he then
touched her. Getting up, he found she was
dead, and he then went over to Mrs. Martin
Bitzel's to apprise them of it. Mrs. Bitzel
went back with him and found her sister
dead. She dressed the body, but found
neither bruise nor wound. As she had died
suddenly, and because she and her husband
had not lived very amicably together, it was
thought best to have physician examine the
body. From this determination the rumor
spread that Blessing had killed his wife with
an axe. The rumor reached Westminster
between and O'Clock. Shortly after an
officer of the district came up to inform the
authorities. Dr. John S. Matthias went down
to examine the body for the relatives, and,
from examination of the body, and the story
of her sickness obtained from Mrs. Bitzel
concluded that death resulted from natural
causes The body was much emaciated, and
bore no evidence of any violence. To have
the cause of death settled legally, States At
torney Henning ordered another investigation
on Tuesday morning, DR.. j. Howell Bill
lingslea making the examination. The re-
suit was conclusion that death ensued from
natural causes.
