F. Il. MOORE, Pastor
Our items came in too late for
last weeks issue so we report some
of them this week.
On Last Sabbath morning, July
9, the Pastor preached a sermon
on "Chris'ian Patriotism" The at
tendance was large and he had the
undivided attention of the con-
gregation. In the evening of the
same day, Rev. D. A. Heron, OF
Glendale, o., gave us a strong and
comforting sermon from the text:
"All things work togather for good"
Mr.. Heron is graduate of Mary
vile College and one of her most
promising Alumni.
Saturday evening, July 1, the
Westminster League was led by
Hon. T. n. Brown, the topic being
sour Country" 1t was an ex.
cellent theme ably developed and
deep interest was manifested
throughout.
All of gour Sunday School and
Congregation who were able tC
attend the Union Picnic on July
are enthusiastic in their praise %
the same and those who could moi
go unite 10 endorsing this scheme
for celebrating our great nationa
holiday.
We have held all our regular
services as usual since the las
issue. Our prayer-meeting room
is crowded each Wednesday ant
we shall hold these services in tn,
large room as soon as the electri
lights can be used.
This is the season of famil,
reunions, and an influx of visitin,
friends and strangers among us
We are happy to have so many o
these attend all our sevices an,
and hope our members will b
watchful and cordial in welcoming
everyone.

reason. some through the church.
/ That God has these three ways Of
saving men, viz: through his Word,
through Reason including con.
science and the Religious Feeling
and through the Church, or as
Prot. Briggs puts it these are the
three great foundations of Divine
Authority. So that God saves
some who do not know the word
or the church, he saves some who
do not regard the word so much as
they do the church. He holds to
the language of our confession.
That God through the Spirit
"worketh when and where and
how he pleaseth" but in no case
says DIR. Briggs, does God save any
one only through the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Some one asks what? God save
a person through Christ who
never heard of him as a Savior?
Certainly. Do you not believe
infants dying infancy and incapa-
bles viz: idiots, will be saved?
How are they saved? Not by
believing the Gospel, the bible
does them no good, and yet all
such you say are saved, Who
made it possible to save such I?
One response ever all Christendom.
Jesus of Nazarath.
1t is the beliefin the Presbyterian
Church that some heather who
never heard of a Savior or of a
Christian Church will be saved.
How are such redeemed? Only
as God works in them through the
Reason inducing in them a trusty
disposition. And in no case says
DIR. Briggs is any one saved
through any of the fountains of
divine authority, only as God by
the Spirit works in him to will ana
to do. Now having planted HIM
self upon this Christian foundation,
he was accused of teaching that
men were saved through the reason
who rejected the appointed
means of grace. He never said
any such thing, and has affirmed
time again, and again, that nc
man of himself ever becomes a.
penitent.
DR.. Briggs says as follows. 81
have not said that the Holy Spirit
speaks the final word i'm the reason
to which the Church and the Bible
, must yield. 1 have not exalted
the Reason alb we the Bible l an
no nationalist. 1t is the teaching
of the confession to which l sub
, scribe that the Holy Spirit, wher
He speaks the infallible word il
Holy Scripture, always speak,
through the Scripture to tn,
g Reason, and by His inward worl
in the heart, in the Reason, give,
certainty, assurance an infallibl,
conviction of the faith and grace o
God. There is no conflict between
Reason and Scripture in such
), case. There can be none. TIL,
,, Holy Spirit unites them in an in
, fallible bond of certainty?
! He says again. "The Reason i
, acknowledged to be the creates
= endorsement God has given to man
=, 1t is the Holy of Holes @
!, human nature, the presenc
:, chamber of God within the sou
. into which the divine Spirit enter
when He would influence the mar
. and in which our Savior dwell
;. when He would make the ma
altogether His own?
The Word and the Reason an
the Church are fountains of divin
. authority or as some of us wOul
. prefer to say "Channels throug
d, !. which the divine Spirit work
. when and where and how H
y pleases."

All a Hoax.

A few days ago sensational article
was sent out from Washington of an
alleged duel about to take place be-
tween Col Paul B. Means, of Concord,
n. c., and Mr.. Harry Martin, step
son of Senator Vance, and which was
said to have been brought to an abrupt
termination by the timely interference
of the Sheriff of Alexandria county,
Va, near where the encounter was to
be fought. who had been notified of the
affair. The whole thing is pronounced
a newspaper fake and was the imagina-
tive work of one man. There was no
foundation for the story and so it is
not necessary here to 60 into details
which were said to have led to the
difficulty.
Col. VIM. II. S. Burgwyn, of Hen
derson, was named in the article as
Col. Means's second, and that gentle
man pronounced the whole thing a
canard as far as he is informed and
concerned, and declares that the first
he ever heard Of it was the article pub
lished in the Washington Post. He is
not even aware that any difference ex-
lists between Col. Means and Mr.. Mar
tin or Senator Vance. In using his
name in that connection he feels that
great injustice has been done him as
he has only the highest regard and
warmest personal feelings for Senator
Vance and the individual members of
his family. But no one should be held
responsible for the senseless and
groundless newspaper fakes of an un-
known and irresponsible penny-a-liner
such as the author Of the article above
referred to.

Do You Know Them

Almost every community is cursed
with a few people who seem to revel
and delight in the disreputable business
of trying to defame the character of
others. This may be true the world
over; and perhaps one place is no
worse than another, in this respect,
though some mi Sht believe Il .ferent.
But when a man or a woman has lived
for number of years in any town and
is known to bear the unenviable and
detestable reputation as that of a busy
body. .ossiper and scandal-monger, it
should at least be source of consola-
ton and qualification to their victims
to know that whatever they say in
seekin. to do them wrong amounts to
nothing less than lie, and lowers the
slanderer in the estimation of his un-
willing hearer. Such people are known
IN every community, and to know them
is simply to substantiate the truthful
ness of this fact. 1t is a very mean,
low and contemplate practice for SO
called respectable people to engage in,
but revenge, yop know, is sweet, aud
with those who %op to lying in order
to iniure anoth there is sure to be a
motive. Let them receive the pity
and sympathy rather than the severe
condemnation of better people, for
some can not help it. Did you ever
think of that:

The Concert Tuesday Night.

The event of the season in point Of
excellence and enjoyment was the de-
lightful operetta given by Miss Emma
Averett's music class in Burwell Hall
Tuesday evening, it being the occasion
of the closing exercises. The house
was we'll filled with select and cul-
tured audience, the stage handsomely
decorated with a profuse display Of
potted plants and flowers, and the
young ladies and Misses were charm
ingly attired in pretty and becoming
costumes. The program was interest
ing and creditably performed through
out, the following taking part: Misses
Ida Rowla I'd, Leila Shannon, Gussie
Satterwhite, Addie Kerner, Mary Lou
Thomas, Mary Young, Alice Rowland,
Bessie Kerner, Nora Clements, Lizzie
Pinkston. In part second Miss Jennie
Shaw and Mr.. S. J. Carter lin II don't
ad-zactly know,'') Misses Kate and
Matte Malone, Kate Allen, Willie
Parker, Lundy Wyche, Sudie Watkins,
Embra Morton, Miss Geneva Barnes,
Mrs. S. 2. Allen, Miss Louise Bos-
ham er and Mr.. Carter.
Many deserve special mention and
we would like to notice each individ-
ually if time and space permitted. It
is enough to say, however, that the
concert given under the efficient man.
agement of Miss Averett, the accom-
plished teacher, was a successful and
enjoyable affair, the participants giving
evidence of careful and proficient train
ing. The singing of Miss Mary Lou
Thomas, Miss Lizzie Pinkston and
Mrs. S. z. Allen and others was cred
itably done and received hearty ap-
plause.
Credit is due Mr.. S. J. Carter, of
Elm City, for the great interest and
active part he took in making the en-
tertainment success, having spent
several days here rehearsing for the
occasion. The last piece, "a bashful
young man. was laughable farce in
courtship by Miss Boshamer and Mr..
Carter in which she had difficult task
in making the bashful lover propose,
which was we'll rendered. heartily ap-
preciated, and sent the audience home
in happy humor. Mr.. Carter was good
in every role assumed by him, and his
facial expressions pleasing and anus
ing. He acted part in which he
showed his rare tact in fun making and
a natural adaptability to comedy, and
needs no further comment than to say
he did himself credit and pleased the
audience.

Disastrous Fire in Fargo, N. D

Disastrous Fire in Fargo, N. D.
The press dispatches report a disas-
trous fire in Fargo, North Dakota. on
Wednesday of last week. A large por-
ton of the principal business part of
town was burned and conservative es-
Inmates place the loss at SO, 500, 900.
Spending few days in the place last
summer and being familiar with the
locality where the fire originated and
the district burned, together with the
fact of having brother living there,
caused the writer to have more than
usual concern in the matter and gravest
fears have been realized. A telegram
from Dr.. B. F. Manning states that
his dental office and sleeping apart
ments were burned together with all
his personal effects. He was absent
from home at the time, being in St.
Paul, which accounts for his loss being
so complete. He had insurance for
but 81 900, while his loss must have
been several times as great. DR.. Man.
ming has many friends in Henderson
who will sympathize with him in his
misfortune. 16O acres of the prin-
cipal business part of town have been
reduced to ashes.
p. S.-Since the above was put in
type letter has been received from
DR.. Manning giving fuller particulars.
He says: Fargo has been visited
by the most extensive and disastrous
confagration that ever befell any city
of its size. Every business block
with few exceptions-is in ruins. An
| area of 1G0 acres was burned over and
residences and business houses swept
| away like prairie grass on fire. Not
| tree left standing and solid brick
| walls melted like lead. The fine Col
umbia Hotel burned to the ground in 80
minutes from the time it caught fire.
The destruction is complete and the
| city is but barren waste of charred
and blackened ruins of its former self.
