interests in the South, for the pm
pose OF making investments. Such

already resulted in incalculable
benefits to this section of the

for two reasons. First, because
the south needs money to develop
her resources, and second because
the visits of such meu will open
their eyes to the true condition Of
affairs in the southern states, and
together with the financial inter-

Ecclesiastical Oil Wells.

Pittsburg Horkmdu.
! recent number Of the Lutheran OJ-
>crrer contained clipping from New
York paper referring to a prospective oil
wclI located on the grounds connected
with the MaHse Of the Presbyterian church
at Forest Grove, Allegheny county, Ia.
Since then several good wells have been
struck on these grounds, from which the
church i, receiving a royalty aggregating
800 day.
About five miles from the Forest Grove
church and the same distance from this
city (Pittsburg), stands Mt. Calvary
Lutheran church. of which Rev. J. q
Waters is pastor. This church is sur
rounded by beautiful cemetery grounds
with a q iebe adjoining, on which the par
sonage stands.
About two months ago this glebe (about
. acres), was leased for oil purposes Three
weeks ago the first well was completed
and started off with production of 20 bar
rels an hour, and has been flowing steady
ever since. The church. in addition to the
cash bonus of 5000, receives a royalty of
one-fourth. which, from this well alone
has averaged, TO date, over 800 per day.
Another well is being drilled on the
same grounds, and third one viii soon
follow
These are certainly the palmy days of
old ut. Calyary's financial prosperity, and
pastor and people feel devoutedly thankful
TO God for these means so providentiaily
placed in their hands by which important
and necessary changes and improvements
are made possible and the efficiency and
usefulness of the church are increased.
May the Lord who has graciously enabled
the people 10 find this treasure hid in the
field" give them grace also 20 utilize 1t in
such a way as will rebound to His glory
and the advancement of His kingdom on
earth. The increase of Gods gifts are al
ways accompanied by increased response
bilities and obligations.
The Mt Calvary people doubtless real
ize this. and whilst they are glad and
thankful, as they have good reason to be,
they recognize the fact that they are stew
ards of the Lords bounty, and are not III
the least danger of abusing the trust com
mitted to them. The talent God has gwen
them will be sacredly employed, and the
whole community, as well as the ongrega-
ton, will partake of the benefits. Although
the oil itself is not holy oil-like that
spoken of in the Scriptures: set apart TO
holy uses-the income from it will never
theless be consecrated to evangelical enter
prises Hence the first well on the church
grounds has been named after the church,
1.-THE Mt. Calvary we'll" 1t is churchly in
name and in design.
In the same spirit one of the wells of the
Forest Grove Church has been called "Old
Hundred" This name, however, was
suggested by revision of the doxology,
made by one of the drillers, who evidently
has poetic turn of mind:
Praise God from W HON all blessings flow,
Praise Him for putting oil below;
Praise Him. We dritlers, give hearty
thanks
Praise Him for the overfiowing tanks
Notwithstanding the convictions of some
to the contrary, oil even when found on
church property, must be regarded as one
Of Goa's good gifts, which is to be received
with thanksgiving and employed in His
| service
