THIS same pastor, in this same
visit, was made glad also by meeting
the venerable Mrs. Brown, her son
and daughter, Mr.. ard Mrs. Brown,
the baby sister Of Mrs. Col. Nesbi:t.
And so the pleasure was greatly in
creased by the womanly, christian
greetings, of the young Qooking)
mother OF Mrs. Nesbitt and Mrs.
Brown. AS he thinks of that chris.
tan home, and Of his visit to it, he
thinks only of sunshine from noon
tide sun. The world is enriched
and kept in place by such homes.
SPEAKING of pastors, popular and
useful, to their charges, Marietta
has none more so than Rev. Mr..
Wynne Of the Baptist. Usually it
requires year, at least, for people
to come to know a pastor. The
pastor, in an important sense, comes
to know his people, at an early day.
Mr.. Wynne's charge seem careful
and tender and so his influence and
usefulness is growing.
1T Is often the case that a pastor,
of age and experience, comes to
know that he has finished his miss
sion to charge, long before the
charge or the church, find it out.
In such case, trueness to God, re-
quires that he shall make it known
to the ''powers that be"
REV. DR.. HEIDI is one OF the most
cultured, gifted and faithful Plesid-
ing Elders of the Methodist church.
He seeks, in faithtu.ness to Christ,
and trueness to his VOWS, to meet
duty and obligation on all lines.
AS preacher he is equalled but by
few; as a presiding officer, excelled
by none; as friend and companion,
he is genial, and pleasant, never en-
tering a home or greeting child
but with sunny face AID joyous
spirit. 1t is a privilege to any Dis
trict to have such Presiding Elder
His return to this District, which is
a matter of course, will be great
blessing to the entire charge.
THE city pastors all filled their
pulpits throughout the Sabbath
gone. The day was beautiful
balmy, spring-like, and congrega.
tons were all good, aud so ia, as
we can hear, everybody pleased with
the sermons.
Rev. Mr.. WYNNE was too unwell
to preach at night at the Baptist
church.
The Methodist pastor has prom
ised for Sabbath night next, the
first of two or three sharp, short
practical talks, with blackboard il
lustrations,) on the Philosophy o
The New Birth, or the Science o
Being Saved.
The Methodist Christian Endeav
or Society meets at Col. Trammell'
Friday night.
The Kings Daughters meet thi
Thursday afternoon, 3 o'clock, a
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. W
r. Power.
REV. G. X. NELSON, of South
Bethlehem, Pa, will be the success,
or of Bishop Beckwith.
Owing to so many members OF the church
falling TO attend prayer meetings, the ques.
ton might very naturally come up before
the congregation, Shall the prayer meet,
ing be continued?' AS an illustration Of
this point an exchange gives the following:
II am compelled to announce, brethren, u
observed the minister, taking off his glasses
and wiping them, that our regular Wed
nesday evening prayer meeting will not be
held this week. l shall be on hand, OF
course, but the janitor will be unavoidably
absent that evening, and it takes two to
make prayer meeting. We will sing the
doxology and be dismissed"
Ill HUMoR arises from an inward con
sciousness Of our own want Of merit, from
a discomfort which ever accompanies that
envy which foolish vanity engenders.
