and Abroad.


Last Sunday was q notable day in
the history OF the Lutheran Church OF
Shepherdstown. 1t was the closing
service of the special series of meet
ings and the day appointed for the
regular quarterly communion. Al
though the day was Indictment TO an
uncomfortable degree on account OF
the snow storm, the church was filled,
and extra seats had to be placed in
the aisles. AS q result OF the revival
services conducted by the eloquent
pastor, Rev. G. H. Hockey, seventy
persons had applied for church mem
bership. Some Of these were kept
from church by sickness and the in
clemency of the day, but fifty-sevsn
persons were received into church
membership-some by confirmation,
some by baptism and others by fs-
newal. Three times the space sur
rounding the altar was hlled-from
the Youthful Christians who came up
from the Sunday school, to young
men and women, those OF middle age.
and some whose hair has been whitsn-
ed by the frosts Of many winters. 1t
was solemn but inspiring scene, and
filled the hearts Of the pastor and his
people with great joy. The new mem
bership is of that sturdy, substantial
class that will add greatly to the
strength of the church. The commu-
Mon service that followed was partici-
pated In by a larger number OF mem
bers than has been recorded for many
wears, and the spirit that prevailed
shows that under the leadership OF its
popular and faithful pastor the church
has entered upon new and enlarged
era OF spiritual and material useful
ness.
The protracted services held in the
Southern Methodist Church IN this
place closed on Sunday last. The

thanks to the many Christian friends

ly aided in the work, and to the gen
srsl public for the perfect courtesy
and decorun evidenced at every ser
vice. The meeting may be resumed
