The lesson for Sunday, Jan. Is. may
be found In Hag. ?: 10.
INTRODUCTORY.
The first thing to do In the study Of
this, and. indeed, where practicable, Of
any lesson, is to sit down and read the
entire book, from which the passage is
taken, straight through. Only thus do
we get the full and correct impression
that IL was desired should be conveyed
by this particular verse. In the present
case 1t Is easy enough, inasmuch as
there are but two chapters In the whole
prophecy; and one. even the busiest,
may very readily experiment on that
plan. which is coming happily to be
more and more the approved plan OF
study, OF taking our notion Of the con-
text OF the Scripture from the Scripture
itself, open and free to all. In the
lesson before US. Haggai, one Of the
prophets OF the Return, exhorts the peo-
pie to push on in Gods name. Il am
with YOU saith the Lord

Sunday SCHOOL UNIoN.-A speci;
,oaeting of the Alexandria Sunday
Sr5ool Union was held in the chapel of
:, Paul's Church last night. The
chapel was prettily decorated with
toWers, &c. for the occasion, and the
members of the other Sunday schools
wsra most cordially welcomed by the
teachers of st. Paul's.
MIR C. w. Millen, president of the
rriou. opened the meeting by aunounc-
ing the l45th hymn which all joined in
singing. led by score of young ladies,
who are organized as a Chapter of
Praise. and who are highly appreci-
a,ed for their works sake" by st.
Papl's church. Prayer was offered by
Rev Mr. Benson, the recently appoint
Cd pastor of the Methodist Protestant
Church. Anothe~- hymn was sung,
when the president made a few appro,
pirate remarks by way of opening the
more substantial work of the meeting.
Hesaid that he was glad to see so many
present Notwithstanding the threatening
aspcct of the weather. He believed
that those present represented the en-
ersetic, faithful and progressive ele-
nent of the working force Of the Sun
day schools and that the time would
come when no officer or teacher at all
worthy of his position, would willingly
be absent from a single meeting of the
union. He referred to the beautiful
decorations of the pulpit with flowers,
plants and vines as not only displaying
the taste of the members OF the ''Chap-
Ter of Praise" but the cordial welcome
which they ard others extended TO the
Sunday School Union-an example
which he hoped would be followed.
Rev. Clarence Z. Ball, rector ofGracc
Church, then spoke upon the "Prepara-
ton of the Lesson" He said that this
was in great measure akin to the
preparation of a sermon, because that
the Sunday school teacher was III his
degree preacher. in that the great OBJ
iect OF the Sunday school work was the
training M of children 10 be the future
men and women ofthe church 1.-THE
teacher realizes the grave character Of
the work he has TO do he will find his
work blessed to himself and to those
he has to teach.
Sir. James Il. Cation was then intro
duccd and opened y discussion on the
classification of new scholars" and
presented what seemed TO be an origin
al plan. He wonld have two classes il
each school, one in charge of male
and the other of female, both posses
sing rare judgment aud discrimination,
in which classes he would place all APP
plcants for admission to the school.
When their capacity and attachments
are determined a proper classification
could then be made
The discussion was followed up by
Mr. 0. F. Baggett, Rev. Mr.. Benson,
Mr. ]. r. Zimmerman and others.
The hour for closing having arrived

Dimittis and the audience retired ie l.

THE POWER OF ADvERTIsING,-The
power Of advertising is patent to all

been forcibiy illustrated during the
past week in this city. Seven or eight
days ago Mr.. D. Bendheim, one of our
enterprising dry goods merchants, in
serted a two-columu advertisement in
the GAZETTE land which he is still run
ning) calling attention to large stock
of goods which he is closing out cheap,
and as a result his store has been
crowded every day since and his sales
have increased amazingly. People not
only carefully read the advertisement
but many of them cut it out of the pa
per, checked the articles they desired
and carried it with them to the store.
One purchaser brought the advertise
ment from Culpeper with him, while
readers from various other points con-
tiguous to Alexandria We're attracted
to Mr.. Bendhcim's store by the price

NEWTON VS.. DAvIs.-The long ex-

a charge of assault, cropped out again
on Monday last by another assault on
Newton, who to-day sued out a war;
rant against Davis which was served
by special officer. Upon the case
being called at u o'clock before Justice
Whiting, Davis asked a continuation
upon the grounds that he had no coun-
sci present, that he desired to summon
witnesses for the defence and that the
justice was prejudiced, by reason of
personal friendship, for the complain
ant The justice refused a continu-
ance and was proceeding to try the
case when Mr.. Louis C. Barley appear
ed for the defendant, and on his re-
quest for a continuance the trial was
postponed until 10 a. IN. tomorrow.
Much bad feeling has grown out of the
difficulty between the parties and con-
siderable interest has been wrought
up between their respective friends.
