The old Pohick episcopal church in
Fairfax county, Virginia. for the rebuild
ing of which Washington drew up plans
in 1913, is still standing and in use. The
exterior" says the rector, presents the
same appearance it did when Washington
drove up to it regularly on Sundays in his
famous coach. The interior suffered
severely during the late war. All the
woodwork was destroyed except the cor
nice. which is the only interior work still
existing from Washington's time. The
roof was left in ruinous condition after
the war. but the old timbers are still well
protected by covering OF good shingles
About eighteen years ago the church was
put in good repair, though not restored to
it's original interior appearance. through
the kindness of gentleman living in New
York CITY. Much needs TO be done to
restore the church to its former antique
interior, but it is comfortable and well
cared for.

In the London Times Of a recent date
appears the drink bill' of the United
Kingdom for 1892. The average expendi-

ing Glasses. If this estimate were reduced
even to 30 per cent. 1t would follow that
in 1892 the drink cost labor over S70,-
100000.

exhaustion and the unused part aches for
exercise. The cure for monotony is varied
employment-not idleness, but change.
Those of our readers who have been in
Richmond, Va, will recall the equestrian
statue OF Washington. the most imposing
monument in town, and one of the best
specimens OF its kind in the world. The
great Nirginlan sits on his prancing horse,
looking over to the left upon the capitol
and pointing across the James river in
position suggests standing joke among
the citizens of Richmond that the father
of his country is watching the legislators
and pointing them to the penitentiRry.
MANY a clergyman" says Mr.. Glad
stone, a good and kindly critic, will
think that If he has embodied in his SER
mon a piece of good divinity; the deed is
done. the end of preaching is attained.
But the business of a sermon is TO move
men as we'll as teach and if the preacher
teaches only without moving may 1t not
almost be said that he soWs by the way
side ?"
One day, with life and heart, is more

We talk OF special providence, meaning
by this those occurrences that are unusual
and exceptional But as fact one event is
q special providence as much as another.
There is as much special providence in the
fall OF q sparrow as in Columbus discovery
of America. Our great is Gods little and
divine wisdom can discriminate them.
There Is always an opportunity waiting

prepared TO seize IL and use it.
An eminent writer SAYS truly that gen.
uineness is the basis of character. To be
what one seems, to aim at reality, to love
truth and embody it-this marks and
makes the man.

who, when questioned whether be sd
