The Dispatch of Monday has the fol-
lowing reference to the filling of DR..
Hoge's pulpit on Sunday last by DR..
Halves, of Staunton:
Rev. DR.. H. H. Halves, of Staunton,
preached for DR.. Hoge Sunday morning

ing that thirty-five years ago that, day
he sat in this church and heard a sermon
from the pastor which SO revealed to
him the way of salvation that he was
enabled then and there to lay hold on
Christ by the hand of faith as a personal
Saviour.
DIR. Halves delivered discourse which
was characterized by simplicity and ten
derness. and filled with striking and
edifying thought. At its close he was
warmly greeted by many of his old
friends, who crowded around him to
testify their personal regard and their
appreciation of his excellent discourse.
