CHILD TEACHING.
How to Impress New ideas Upon the Young
 Minds

How to Impress New ideas Upon the Young
 MInds.
 In giving instructions to children it is frequently hard to explain an idea to them in words which will convey the precise meaning to their minds It is easiest to teach a truth to a child by an illustration, and, to be of any value, the illustration must be taken from their own experience. The new idea must come out of the old By this method children can be taught new and proper words to express their ideas, and this will, in time, prove their lan- guage long before they have a notion what grammar" and "rhetoric" mean
 Mamma" said little boy, 'I read the other day that Mir. Heaton had a great deal of enthusiasm. What is enthusiasm?"
 ''Enthusiasm is such an intense love for a thing. and such a devotion to it, that we overlook other things for its sake. You have shown lately, my dear, such great enthusiasm for skating that you consider lessons of no conse- quence beside it. You even dislike to take time to eat your meals properly. You are too enthusiastic. I shall have to take measures to prevent your bccom- ing too great an enthusiast"

Memorial pay.

shows conclusively that the memory
of their virtues and heroic deeds has
not died out among our people. and
that Southern men and names.
whilst loyal and true to the govern

forget the valor and suffering OF
those who poured out their Iife's
blood in defence of a cause which
they believed to be right and just.
Not only did jefferson county fur
nish her full quote of strong men and
fair women, but our neighboring
counties of Loudoun, Clarke, Fred

were also well represented. Mr.. B.
C. Washington was Chief Marshal
and the Charles Town Cornet Band
furnished the marching m usic. The
Methodist and Episcopal graveyards
were first visited, and the procession
rounded up at Edge-Hil Cemetery,
where large concourse were gath

The orator of the occasion was
Col. Richard Henry Lee, of Vir-
ginia. who delivered an able and in
teresting historical address, which
was listened to with much interest.
Hon. j. Mortimer KiIgour, of Lou
doun county Va, was on the stand
and at the conclusion of Col. Lees
speech made few eloquent remarks.
Rev. Dallas Tucker made the opening
prayer, and Rev. C. N. Campbell
pronounced the benediction. The
music for the occasion was furnished
by large choir under Madam Rubl,
accompanied by the Charles Town
Cornet Band under Il. NJ. Baker,
rendering "Cover Them Over" and
other appropriate pieces in an adj
mirable manner, for which they were
highly complimented. The speakers

The pupils of Oakland school, near

ment on Friday night, May 26.
The school room had been handsome
Iy decorated for the occasion. The
scholars acquitted themselves hand
somely. and under the management
of their teacher, Mr.. James 7. Gran

for over two hours, with recitations,
tableaux and dialogues. The fire.
quent applause of the audience
showed their high appreciation.

thanks of all who attended for the
rare treat afforded them. The tab

were beautiful beyond description.
Keeping house by dozen little

by the unexpected return Of old Aunt
Polly, was ludicrous in the extreme.
The military trial was excellent, and
showed wonderful discipline on the
part of the general. The valedictory
address by Gerald Conklyn, was
well delivered. The Middleway or
chestra, consisting of the Messrs.
Shirley and Bates (four pieces) /,
furnished delightful music at inter

with delight the pleasant entertain
ment afforded them by Mr.. Gran

Closing Services in the Metho-
dist Church.

OiSf CnufCn-
Inaccordance with previous notice,
tile congregation of the ME. Church
South in Charles Town had their
closing services in the old building
last Sunday. These grounds and
building are not without an interest
ing history, and this was given by
the pastor, Rev. H. P. HamiII, in an
admirably prepared and well deliv-
cred sermon, which was listened to
attentivelY by large congregation.
The FIRST piece of ground forchurch
purposes contained half an acre, and
was conveyed by Charles Washington
som etime prior to 1901, probably as
early as 1897. This same land was
recouveyed by his son, Samuel A.
Washington, and wife, of the county
of Culpep er, Va, in 1908, and became
the site of the first Methodist meeting
house. North alley, it seems, was at
that time popular public road, lead
ing TO the Town mill.
The Board of Trustees, to which
the latter conveyance was made, were
Thos. Reyes, Sam'l Williams, Jno.
English, Rob't Shirley and Sam'l O.
Offutt.
Since 1908 there have been three
additions made to the original lot-the
site of present church, in 1925, from
Matthew Ransom and wife; strip
lying between original lot aud rail-
road, which Was tie site of the church
for colored people, from Henry L.
Ely and wife; and from same at
same time an alley 6 feet wide, lead
ing from North alley to railroad, on
east side.
Jno. Avis, one of the trustees in
the conveyance of 1925, was the
grandfather of the first cash con-
tributor TO the now-proposed new
building.
The present building was completed
either in 1881 or 1882, was enlarged
in 1858, repaired in 1871, and re-
paired again in 1881.
Until 1920 Charles Town was an
appointment in Berkeley circuit. At
that date jefferson circuit was formed
and included all the territory now
contained in Charles Town j efferson,
Shepherdstown, Brucetown and Ber-
ryvilIe circuits. Rev. Jas. Mccain
was its first preacher in charge, Chns.
B. Tippett, Jr., preacher, and since
that time many of the most useful
and well known members of the Bal
timore Conference, both North and
South, have served its people, includ-
ing Christopher Frye, Norval Wilson,
N. j. B. Morgan, David Thomas,
j. D. Cummings FOUNDER of the Re
formed Episcopal Church), VIM. G.
Eggleston, VIM. S. Edwards, Thomas
sewaIl, j. H. Waugh, S. Rodgers,
j. C. Dice, Thos. f. Carson, A. w.
Wilson (now Bishop, j. W. Tongue
and many others of sterling worth
and faithfulness.
Rev. j. W. Tongue conducted an
interesting experience meeting on
Sunday afternoon, and at night Rev.
Mr.. Hamill held another interesting
service. 1t is hoped Mr.. HamiIl will
have his morning sermon printed in
pamphlet form, as it will be not only
valuable for preservation. but highly
interesting to members who could
not be present, and might also be
made source of some revenue for
the new church building.

Judge Faulkner rendered an i'm
portant decision at this term of the
court on the removal to the circuit
court of case tried by jury in a
Justices court. The judge holds
that the case may be removed by writ
of certiordrt, and the petition for the
writ should be presented within ten
days from the date of Judgment on
the verdict, by analogy TO the Time
allowed for an appeal, unless good
cause be shown for not applying
within said time, and then the appii-
cation can be made within ninety
days. If the petition show proper
grounds, the court will allow the writ,
and when the case is removed to the
circuit court, the judge will review
the whole case as presented by the
petition, and if no error has been
made in the lower court, the iudp-
ment will beaffirned; and if mistake.
error or injustice has been done To
either party in the Justices court.
the verdict of the jury and judgment
of the jury thereon will be set aside,
and the circuit court will retain the
case for trial as if originally brought
in that court. Under the recent de-
cision of the supreme court in the
case of Bee VS. Seaman, report in w.
Va. ISL, the court held the writ in
such case tn he analogous to an APP
peal in a case heard by the justice
without jury. Query: Does this
case allow the writ as of right as of
case of appeal? This opinion of Judge
Faulkner is very valuable to the pro-
fession in this circuit, and is regard
ed rs settling question which has
long been unsettled and vexed.
