CHURCH WORK.

A recent issue OF the Diocesan
Journal, Of the Episcopal Church of
Southern Virginia, contains an in
teresting account of the progress and
prospects of the church's work at
ECoeburn, Va. Coeburn, which has
"a population of 100, composed chiefly
of miners and their families, forms
part of the Parish of Iatcrmont, which
also embraces Big Stone Gap. Norton
and other localities within the county
of Wise. Its church building has a
seating capacity ofabout 80, and at
the services good choir is in attend
ance. An attractive and successful
mission was, in December last, con-
Quoted at Coeburn by Rev. r. S. Car
ter. Rector of the Parish, aided by
the Rev. c. F. Smith, of Abingdon,
and much lasting heefit is expected
to result therefrom. The report
shows that laudable effort is being
made by the church members to es-
tablish hospital at Coeburn for sick
and injured persons, and that to-
wards it's erection and maintenance
the mine owners of the District have
promised contributions. \ move
ment is also on foot to secure the
erection OF new and more commo-
dious church building. The mem
bers at Coeburn are evidently alive
to the duties of their important work,
and are infused with proper spirit
for carrying it on. We hope their
efforts will be crowned with great
success.
At the mission services referred to,
the frequent singing of familiar
hymns was an important feature.
Most people like good singing. More
of it at church services would, we
feel assured, tend to increase the
number of attendants. Our Christ
congregation undoubtedly possesses
some good musicians and good sing
ers If suitable choir is abtaina-
BILE therefrom, and a change made in
the services, so that, following the
example of numerous other churches,
we can have sung regularly the grand,
soul-stiring Te Deum, the Psalms of
the day, and other portions Of the
church's beautiful service, an en-
larged attendance of worshippers
would be secured, and the earnest
efforts of the Rector in the church's
work, and for its usefulness, in our
midst, would be strengthened and en-
couraged.
