The society OF Christian Endeavor is the one

ciety, composed of the boys and girls of tho
congregation, has membership of about forty.
It meets at O'Clock Sunday afternoon, and

gates TO the Central League of tho EndeaYorers
Some of the younger ladies OF the church
are interested In the Kings Daughters, but
all are members of the Woman's Missionary
Circle. 1t holds monthly and quarterly meet
ings and the ladies find it most pleasant TO at
tend Studies of the various lands where
missionaries Of the church are stationed are
taken up at these meetings, and often a letter
from some of the missionaries is read Tho
membership fee is 81 year, but the ladies
make it a trife larger by giving two cents
week. The officers are: Mrs Francis Mclean,
president; Miss Fannie Lacy, vice president;
Miss Mary B. Smith, secretary, and Mrs. Will
liam Halton, treasurer. The money raised
by the society is devoted to the education OF

EPwoRTH LEAGUE WORKERS.
Not whit less powerful in its influence Is
tho branch of the Epworth League, whose
membership in the church is very large.
There is Junior League gs we'll, the former
holding its devotional meeting every Sunday
evening and the latter every Sunday
afternoon. There is a special League social

League Mrs. Irving o. Ball.
A special feature of the Epworth League
meetings is the conduct of their services from
time to time by representatives, from the chap
ter in the other Methodist churches in town,
thus leading 10 q valuable interchange of
ideas and methods.
Among the other societies In the church IS
the Woman's Foreign Missionary, of which
Mrs. A. Z. Boyee, is PRESIDENT Mrs. Lydia II.

Had a Good Pupil.

The attempt to enforce artificial politeness
gives occasion for some amusing incidents
A story is told of an English landed proprie-
tor who sent by his servant, young lad, a
brace of English pheasants for the rector of
the parish.
The boy was ushered into the room where
the rector was sitting. Throwing the game
at his feet the boy said: Here is pair of
pheasants my master has sent ye," and with
out taking OFF his hat turned to leave the
room.
Hold on" said the rector. "That is not
the way to do it. You sit here and I'll show
you"
Taking up the birds the rector put on his
hat and left the room. Immediately return
ing, the rector removed his hat and bowed
low to the boy saying: "Your worship, my
master has sent brace of pheasants which
he wishes you to accept with his compli-
ments."
THANK you, sir" said the boy, rising and
bowing "Tell your master 1 am much

two deaconesses. and two OF the assistant su-

result has been more than was hoped for.
In 1871 Baptist Sunday-school was started
by half dozen earnest workers. The Bap-
fists OF the Bill were not pleasantly located
for attending church. Away down by the
Navy Yard there was a thriving congregation
and the nearest church in the opposite direc-
tion was Calvary, on Eighth street. The Sun
day-school prospered, and soon there was
talk of a new church. This talk resulted in
the formation of the Metropolitan Baptist
Association, an organization OF Capitol Hill

largely made up of Baptists. This associa-

about 200. 1t is held in the morning and the
interest is never permitted to become slack.

Mrs. Camilla Lowell. The female portion OF
the congregation is divided into two parts,
and each of these ladies takes charge OF one.
Her duties are to visit the sick and those in
trouble, and their labors have been most sue
cessful. The appointment of these deacon
esses several years ago was an experiment,
and now the church can scarcely see how il
could get along without them. The results
have been far beyond the expectations of the
church officials, and when Baptist minister,
glancing over the list of officers. saw the
names of the deaconesses, he asked the clerk
women at work? How do they do?' ''Ele-
gantly," was the enthusiastic response. Its
the best change we have made for years.
There was third deaconess, but she moved
from the city, and the two ladies named have
charge of the entire work.
Services are held IN the church twice each
Sunday, and the general prayer meeting is
held each Thursday evening. The covenant
meeting is held on the Thursday evening be-
fore the first Sundayo of each month; commun-
ion the first Sunday and the woman's mis-
sionary circle the third Sunday at 3 p. m.
The regular church meetings are held quar-
terly the third Wednesday evening in jan
uary, April, July and October. At the Sun
day services especial attention is paid to tho
music, which is rendered by a large choir
under the direction of Mr.. II. F. Stratham.
Mr.. Francis Mclean. the clerk, also reads all
the church notices, thus relieving the pastor.
This change has been found to be of great
benefit Mr. Allen C. Clark is chairman of
the music committee and sees that the stand
ard is not lowered.

commonly known AZ a reciprocity
clause" This, it will be remembered, was
enacted to secure reciprocal trade between
the United States and countries largely
producing ugar,m olasses, coffee, tea n
hides, and under which this country has
opened up a foreign trade profitable to the
people and of the most promising proper
tions.
As the result Of these commercial ar
rangements, and for the most part due to
them, our trade has shown a gratifying in
crease. The domestic exports to Germany
and Austro-Hungary had increased in
value, up to December, 1892, from A7 ,Dg0,-
GOO to 100000, or more than 81 per cent.
With American countries the value of our
exports had increased up to that date from
$H,0Oo,0o0 to 100000 or upwards of %
per cent. The total increase in the value
of exports TO all countries with which re
ciprocal arrangements nave teen made
had been So ~, 621, which sum is chiefly
from wheat, -four, meat and dairy pro-
ducts, from lumber and the manufactures
of iron and steel.
Daring the first half of the year 1891 we
exported to Cuba 1900 barrels of -four.
During the first half of the year 1892, under
the reciprocity clause, we exported TO the
same country 337, 900 barrels. For the year
ending August 81, 1891, our total exports
TO Cuba were Gil 100000. For the CORE
spending period, ending August 81, 1892,
our total exports were $40, 100000, under a
law not yet w years in operation. OF this
great increase nearly 100000 were in
-four, about 100000 were in bacon, pork
and other provisions, and a large proper
ton of the remaining exports were also
agricultural products. And yet the Demo
cratic leaders in congress seriously pro-
pose to shut the door of this splendid OPP
portunity in the face of the American

THE WILSON L

Measure.


The Wilson bill Is not like any OF the
early tariff measures. but Is one in which
the changed condition of the country and
Its marvellous growth ard development
are utterly ignored and forgotten. Its pro-
moters forget that slavery no longer ex-
fts. They do not recognize mol appreci-
rte the independence and dignity Of labor
I'D annot understand that the protective
policy under which we nave had such
splendid prosperity is not to be determined
by geographical lines. The bill Is n mar
row., sectional and provincial measure, un
worthy the great party which proposes it
and wholly unsuited to the needs of the
country.
The Wilson bill turns to the past; away
from the present. 1t Is for the plantation,
not for the farm End the factory. As IL
