Church Notes.

No services will be held in the NJ.
E. Church next Sunday the pastor
being absent attending conference
The ability with which Morgan
town pulpits are filed is a subject
of remark. Not one Of them but
has a popular and acceptable pastor.
The place is to be congratulated on
this fortunate state of affairs The
influence it has on the people is very
noticeable.
The Epworth League of Morgan
town held an open air meeting on
the Academy campus on Sunday af-
ternoon. The exercises included a
number of addresses, essays, exper-
fences and songs. The League has
steadily grown in numbers since it's
organization here and is source of
great good among the young people.
Last Sunday two sermons were
preached in the M. K. Church to
teachers and students. The morning
sermon was to teachers. 1t showed
their responsibility and the power
they welded in their work A rep
resentative number were present to
hear it. In the evening the dis
course was directed to the Student,
his object, spirit and the result.
There sermons will bear fruit.
After ten years of strife and bitter
ness, chickering's and art-burnings,
the Baptists of Connelsville have
buried the unhappy past ana agreed
to worship together in Christian IN
ity and Christian brotherhood
This happy reunion was brought
about largely through the unceasing
efforts of Rev. J. A. Maxwell the
popular young pastor of the First
Baptist Church.
Rev. S. Hamilton Day, who has
served the NJ. E. Church here as its
pastor so acceptably for the past
three years, has gone to Grafton to
attend Conference. The church has
unanimously asked for his return.
During the past year though there
were no extraordinary reasons the
membership of the church has in
creased 6S. This is certainly very
satisfactory growth and shows the
effective work done by Mr. Day.
A second Presbyterian church will
be organized in Uniontown. The
matter was settled last Sunday
when petition was presented sign.
ed by those who want to go into the
second church, asking for letters of
dismissal. This church war has
been been in progress for some time
and was brought about by the pro-
posed erection of new church and
when it was decided to build the di-
vision could not be prevented. The
seceders have rented hall in which
they will worship for the present.
The Parkersburg Presbytery held
its fall meeting at Sistersville on
Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week. At the meeting the church
at Morgantown and its pastor, Rev.
A. Nj. Buchanan, were encouraged
by the Presbytery to go forward in
the effort to provide a handsome and
commodious building, which shall
be both church home and social
headquarters for Presbyterian young
men and women who are attendings
the University 1t is to be hoped
this move will be carried through.
