Ordination.
The stated meeting of Hanover Pres.
bytery, in the spring of 1904, was held
at Hampden Sidney College. Mr.. Rice
had now been laboring, as licentiate,
in the field assigned him, for nearly
seven months. At this meeting, on the
9th Of April, ga call from Cub Creek
congregation addressed to Mr.. John 81.
Rice, for three-fourths Of his time, was
read and presented to him. But Mr..
Rice informed the Presbytery that he did
not wish to give decisive answer to the
call at present, but was willing to take
it under consideration. On the next
day he announced his acceptance of the
call the record continues: "And it ap-
pears proper that he should be ordained
at our next meeting" The following
text has assigned him as the subject of a
sermon of trial for his ordination: Gen.
iii 4, "And the serpent said unto the
woman, ye shall not surely die" Mr..
Alexander was appointed TO preside and
to preach an ordination sermon; and Mr..
Lacy, to deliver the charge.
The Presbytery met in the fall, Sep
TENDER 28th, at Cub Greek church. The
ministers present were Alexander, Nc
Robert, Lacy, and Lyle; ruling elders,
Major Morton from Cumberland congre-
cation, Captain Mask Leak from the
Cove and Colonel William Morton from
Cub Creek Mr.. Rice preached, aid on
Saturday, the 29,h, Presbytery proceeded

ment and sanctioned by man 8 nature and
universal experience, this Presbytery
would admonish its people of the danger
OF patronizing the Sunday newspaper.
Read by the heads of families and their
children the Sunday paper brings crime,
murder, the theatre, the race course.
business, and politics into the Sabbath
hours and destroys the influence of that
holy institution for good. The sinews of
the Sunday newspaper would be cut if
their managers understood that the Chris
tan people would not wink at this sin.
4. That lnasmuch as the Sabbath rest,
with its relief from toll its quiet order,
cleanliness, and its leasure tor personal
and domestic improvement has existed
as cherished Institution of our country
from the beginning of it's history, a lust
and equable enforcement of the Sunday
is but right. The Sabbath founded in
creation and law is the natural and inal-
ienable right OF man as man, and hence is
essential to the prosperity of the State.
We would suggest to our Christian citi-
zens that they hold in their hands great
influence for good or i'll, and that for it's
proper exercise God holds them respon-
sible.
The above was approved and the reso-
!utions adopted unanimously by the
Presbytery. Will not every member of

He sat alone. The lindens waved their leaves
In softest rustling Ger the masters head,
The glad birds sang, the very river played
low, sweet melody. All nature was
Alive with song, with tremulous, sweet song,
That savored half of sadness

It was spring.

When leaves unfolded, and when flowers walked
To greet the sunshine with their smiling eyes
When birds were wooing each his little mate,
And In the valleys every tiny brook
Went babbllng on its way among the flowers
And by the Rhine, the silver shining Rhine.
The lads and lasses coming home from work
In twos and threes, by the sweet music touched
OF mother Nature,-j oined in music too.
Across the water, through the twilight wales
Their songs of Vaterland" and by-gone days
The old "Volkslieder" of the German land
Rang true and clearly.
And he heard it not
For him In vain the clear young voices sing;
For him in vain the glad birds music sounds,
In vain the babbling water, and the soft
And dreamy rustling of the linden trees;
The tuneful voices of all Natures choir
In vain for him-for him, the Master soul,
Whose very life was music
He sat with how'd head, he who was of God
Most sorely stricken, SO that all his life
No sound might reach him from the outer world.
NO note OF music reach that darkened soul
Whose life was music Oh, to think of thatl
For ever and forever-while he lived
Not one sweet sound, not one melodious note;
But silence-silence always, save in dreams
That hoated through his mind. Strange dreams
when he
With clos'd eyes sat, and hands that WANDERED
Ger
10 MO
One sound forth of those dreams of melody,
That were forever lost,-except to God.
And so he sat alone, with head low how'd.
And heard not Natures voices soft and low;
For all that music was in vain for him
Whose very life was song
The shadows fell
About his head, who, dying calmly lay
With fingers clasp'd, and something strangely
bright,
The light of Heaven in his wistful eyes.
He listened and around him those who stood,
Saw suddenly Joyful radiance come
Into the masters face. "Oh, hush" he said,
"And listen to the bells !" and then he sighed.
"Ah Cod" he said, In accents like the voice
OF tired-out child that on its mothers breast
To slumber sinks,-and in his WHISPERED words
Betrayed the sorrow and the weary pain
OF all his life" Ah God" he said, in Heav'n,
In Heaven I shall heari" And then he died.
And that drear silence he had borne so long
And patiently was broken first by songs
Of angel voices chanting, when across
The threshold Of the other world he passed.
Beethoven passed, to light and melody

WACO, TEX, Oct. 20.--The Examiner

from which the following extracts are

"There can not now &c particle OF

has engendered an opposition TO him
which, to say the least OF 1t, ls dangerous.
There are very many influential democrats,
and well informed In politics, in this dis

certain. One OF the causes
of apathy on the part Of pro-
