On FxIday evening Mr.. Thomas Potts
lectured before the st. Andrews Brother
hood Of old st. Johns. making the fifty
first Psalm the subject OF his admirable

mon. the faithful, earnest and efficient
pastor Of the Third Presbyterian church,

old home. Smithfield, Isle OF Wight
county. Va. She will remain there for
several weeks.
The Little Cleaners" have egain risen

production of the Cantata, "a Trip to
Europe" for the benefit OF tie Georgia

bazaar, and occupied Saturday afternoon.
One Of the little ladies who participated,
assured a representative OF The Times
that the children didn't have time to keep
their costumes in order" the Cantata

TO see.
On next Sunday morning the congre-
cation Of the Third Presbyterian church
will worship In what, from the interior,
has almost the aspect OF a now edifice.
The old church has not only been rem
dered more attractive to the eye by the
improvements made but more comfortable
as well. The members OF the Young

ment OF expenses incurred by the up
holstering Of the altar chairs. and the
purchase OF a handsome new olble, altar
cloth, etc. The Young Ladies' Society"
and the Little Cleaners" are very i'm
portant wheels within the machinery OF
the Third Presbyterian church. and to-
gether with the other societies for the
conduct of the parish work, move so
tremendously together that we can only
judge OF their power by the general re-
salt, which Is admirable.
Letters received from Rev. Mr. Van
Hook. pastor Of the Third Christian
church, state that his health is improving
although very gradually. He is now at
Brookwood, South Alabama, and from
thence will proceed TO the famous "tur-
pentine" region OF that State, the air
of which Is especially beneficial 10 suffer-
ers from bronchial troubles. During Mr..
Van Hooks absence the Sunday con-
gregations have apparently sustained no
decrease Of interest, but have been at
both night and morning services large
and earnest. This Is indicative of the
real strength OF the pastors influence
and work In the church. and speaks vol
umes for both.
The Christian Endeavor meeting to-
night will take the place OF the usual
Sunday evening service. beginning at
o'clock. and affording those who attend
an opportunity to proceed from II In
ample time to enjoy service and sermon
elsewhere, If desired.
Concerts, the proceeds Of which are
to go towards the building fund Of the
Third Christian church, are to be given
shortly one by the members OF Mrs.
Herbert Wares music class. the other
by the pupils OF Mrs. Peyton. Both will
occur at Corcoran Hall. and promise
much enjoyment.
