THE AT THE UNITED BRETHREN
CHURCH.

The revival meetings at the United
Brethren church on Washington avenue,
near Douglas, have grown into proportions
of immense interest and large attendance
A very storm of religious interest, enthu-
siasm and power is sweeping over that
part of the city. Conversions are of daily
occurrence and Friday night the altar
was filled with anxious inquir-
ers. The conversions are after the
old fashion, each convert being consci-
entiously filled with the spirit and usually
shouts for JOY over the forgiveness of their
sins. Other cups have run over, and there
was shouting and praising God in His
temple. On Friday evening and during
the testimony meeting, a talented lady
took the floor and, walking up and down
the aisles of the church, exhorted the great
congregation, with tears in her eyes and
with wonderful eloquence, to '.fiee the
wrath to come" and save their souls
She said that some time ago, when her
house was thought to be on fire, it was
only few moments until hundreds were
present to assist in saving her home, and
that Immediately after this several went
and had their household goods insured
She remarked that this was very nice
thing for them to do, but of how much
more importance is it, dear sinner, that
you see to the salvation of your soul. Many
hard hearts were melted, and faces that
were hardened with sin We're once bathed
in tears. The meetings are conducted by
the pastor, Rev. r. Rock, A
M: whose sermons are able.
tender, chaste, full of Scripture, illustra-
ted with truth, skill and beauty, and de
livered with wonderful earnestness and
energy. Mr. Rock loves souls, all men,
rich and poor and comes to them in ser
mon and prayer with infinite agony for
their immediate salvation. He tells his
congregation they must be saved at once
or he has no right or reason to expect TO
meet them in heaven.
His sermons on Thursday and Friday
evenings, on the total depraviey of the
human heart. showed a large knowl-
edge of history, and were
graphically illustrated by some astonish-
instance of depravity in the city
The greatest drawback to the meetings
progress is the want of room to accommo-
date the multitude that come. A much
larger church house is needed and we I'M
derstand that it is the purpose of the CON
gregation to erect splendid edifce early
in the spring.
There will be preaching by the pastor
this morning and evening at 1880 and I.
o'clock respectively.

SCHOOL NOTES.

County Superintendent Pence has in
augurated another scheme for the schools
of the county from which he expects much
good to result. II is the holding at the
end of the year graduating exercises and
to present TO the most deserving pupils
diplomas showing that they have com
pleted the prescribed course. He says that
he believes that the pupil who has dill
gently pursued his studies and has mas
tered the common branches is entitled To
some special recognition of his persever-
ance and achievements. He has already
sent out blanks TO the different teachers
notifying them of the new plan, and in
structing them to fill out the blanks with
names of pupils far enough advanced To
pass a creditable examination and forward
the list to him. He has already received
the names of over one hundred pupils who
expect to take the required examination
The examinations will not be held in all
the different districts of tbs schools, but
two or more of the same sections will be
combined and the examination will be
held At one OF the school buildings Of the
section. The place for the holding Of the
graduation exercises viii be decided
on the same plan and an
effort will be made TO make these exer-
cises one of the events of the year. The
diplomas are very neat and attractive Ger
tificates of the finishing OF the common
school course.
Prof Pence thinks that not only will
this plan have tendency TO spur the pu-
pills on 10 attain high standing and of
excellence, but will also create greater
interest in school matters among the par
elts.
A new course OF study has also been
made out by the county superintendent
and will be submitted to the teachers at an
early date
The county superintendent has almost
finished visiting the schools Of the county
and expressed himself AS in general very
well satisfied with what he has done.

Mr.. e l. Moore, of Scott City, arrived
yesterday and will be in the city some
days attending to business matters. He
reports the people in his county and part
of the state in good spirits over the fine
prospect for a wheat crop. The acreage of
wheat sown last fall was over double
that of any previous year, and for the time
of year wheat never looked better. The
heavy SHOWS of some time ago had proved
valuable in protecting il from the cold
winds. and the recent rains and melting OF
the snow had placed the ground in as good
a condition as could he wished.
