Fifty Anniversary Of His 0rdinatiOn-Rey.

Religious Matters.

Rev. C. NJ. Afford preached in the
Third Presbyterian Church yesterday
forenoon to large audience. The &C.
casion was the third anniversary OF
his pastorate. The church history was
traced and the sermon in general was
among the strong ones preachd by Rev.
Afford.
.sThe Lord has done great things
for US whereby we are glad" were
the words OF the text, from, Psalm
l26, third verse. The great diff
Guilty of the work in this field was
spoken Of, and the need Of 1000 Pres
byterians, instead of ESQ, in that
locality OF the city, was advocated.
The sermon closed by suggestion, as
to the best methods of increasing the
good To be done there.
The history OF the church runs back
to 1850, on January IS, when Alfred
PAUL was installed pastor. In the forty
three years since there have been
thirteen ministers. In 1866 there was a
meeting at the presiding elders home,
where it was decided TO abandon the
church, as it was found it could not be
kept up longer. About this time news
came that Rev. Jonathan Cross, OF Bal
timore, was on his way here to take
charge OF the church. II then took a
new start under his guidance, and has
prospered ever since.
Three years ago Rev. Afford took
charge of the congregation. Assisted
by his good wife they have prospered'
Three years ago the church bad two
hundred members, now it has two hum
dred and ffty-one. Ninety-eight new
members have been taken into the
church In that time, sixty-nlne of them
being upon confession. The Sunday
School is the largest in the Washington
Presbytery. When Rev. Afford came
the Y. p. S. G. E. numbered twelve
members; now there are seventy-two,
with an average attendance Of seventy
six. The different societies OF
the church have also prospered.
Among the prominent ones are the
Kings Builders, composed OF boys, I'M
der the leadership of Mrs. Rev. Afford.
The proceeds Of this organization go TO
Rev. Allen KendrIck, D. D., and wife,
missionaries in Dakota. Rev. Kendrick
and wife are well known here.
Since Rev. Afford become pastor OF the
church the collections for the Boards OF
the church have increased 90 per cent,
Last years running expenses exceeded
So, 900.

OF Akron, Discusses the Theme, goods
Idea OF True Life"
Rev. f. A. Bosworth, of the Disci-
ples' Church Of Akron, o., preached In
the Disciples Church, this city, last
evening. The theme was Goods Idea
of a True Life" The assemblage was
an appreciative one, and the sermon was
well received.
Rev. Bosworth said In worrying over
the small things Of life the Anglo-Saxon
phrase, What of it?" should be APP
piled, and by it burdens could more
easily be borne. 1t was stated that
without the principles OF true life, no
real manhood can exist. After COM
mentipg on the coming Of sin
into the world, Rev. Bos-
worth said: MAN seems to have
generally false conception OF the true
purpose OF life, but time is Gods, and
every days labor is His. II mans work
were his own, a great amount OF Gods
teaching would be laid aside. Viewing
IL from the other side OF life, IL our life
and time belonged to God, when called
from this life, man is called to some
thing higher, nooler ana better. take
It that death is call to something
grander and purer.'
Incentives TO toll were spoken Of.
Work was made something sacred, and
the real principle Of work-of reaching
something better-was discussed. The
sermon ended by neatly worded in
vocation for purer life.
Rev. II. L. Atkinson Of Smithfeld. O.,
was there, and led in prayer. This
gentleman was in attendance for the
purpose Of raising funds to cid in pay
ing for new church in Smithtield
OF the Disciple denomination. Rev.
Atkinson stated that the present church
of the congregation there is rer1 old

bell, father of the church. The con-
gregatlon responded literally.
Before going TO Akron, Rev Bosworth

vIsIroRs FROM PIIrsBURG

II the Pittsburg excursion which came
down the beautiful Ohio yesterday on
the steamer Andes is sample lot, the
upper Ohio Valley will thank the Smoky
City hereafter If she will select some
other stream for her so cent Sunday
outings, as our jails are hardly adequate
to the needs of the visitors.
The number of toughs, plug-uglies
and bad characters, male and fe-
male, who swarmed of the boat as
fast as their intoxicated and belligerent
condition would allow, was estimated at
two hundred and fifty. The mob
had consumed twenty-five barrels
OF beer and nearly demolished the
boat and it looked for awhile during the
day, as from time to time these
delightful visitors painted the city a
lurid beery-red ia spots, as if our jail
facilities might be inadequate to meet
the demands of the occasion. At the
hour of going to press ten of them were
sim in the lookup.
II Pittsburg intends to continue these
Sabbath diversions in this direction she
will confer a favor by notifying US be-
forehand. Wheeling's hospitality is
noted, but we occasionally draw the
line, and it is doubtful if any more Of
Plttsburg's 5O-cent Sunday excursions
will be allowed to land here if we see
them first.
