The Meetings Closed.


The meetings which commenced
here last Sunday week, under the
direction of Evangelist j. E. School
field, of Danville, Va, closed llast
night in very pathetic manner.
The services in the afternoon of
yesterday was one of the most
affecting meetings ever held here.
His subject for this meeting was
forgiveness" and whom, at the
close of his sermon, he called upon
all Christians to come forward and
give him their hand, and then go TO
the person with whom they were at
enmity and extend their hand and
ask forgiveness aud a reconcilia-
ton, a large number of people arose
in the congregation and went for
ward and then turned and hunted
up their enemies and extended their
hands to them in reconciliation.
Feuds of long standing were then
and there settled publicly. 1t took
courage 10 do this in public, but the
good people were equal to the trial.
1t was most affecting scene, and
there were but few dry eyes in tho
congregation.
Mr.. Schoolield's coming among
US was productive OF much good, ).
and a very large number of persons
were brought to see the error of
their way.
The people of this town have been
preached at and preached at by many
eminent and eloquent Divines, with
but little effect upoL them, until
this sincere Christian man come
among them and made the appeal
to "Come to Christ, and they were
aroused to their condition and "sur-
rendered
His meetings were we'll attended
both day and night, showing the
great interest manifested, and indi
eating that tho people were iu
earnest.
The Ministers and the Christian
women worked in harmony with
the Evangelist, and the prayers of
the good women of this town were
answered, and they were rewarded
by seeing many members of their
household brought to the afoot of
the cross"
Now that the good work has been
commenced, we trust it will not be
permitted to wane, but will be carri.
ed on until Point Pleasant will be
known all over the country as the
home OF Christian people.
AT the close of the services last
night vote of thanks was rendered
Mr.. Schoolfeld, which was unani.
mcusly adopted.
Wherever he goes, the best wishes
of the Register and the people of
this whole town will follow him
that God may watch over and pro.
tect him; and make him the instru.
ment through which many people
may be "made to see the error Of
their way

TnE POWER OF HolIE.
Its Relation to Society aud lis Influence
in the Church.

in the Church.
The unit Of society is the home.
Enrolment that assumes to be thor
ough is not a registration by indi-
vidnals. but by families. II We were
to say that the structure of society
is cellular, we should have to say
that it is the family that constitutes
each separate cell. No woman,
however complete, is a cell There
is no finished cell except in the
grouping of several individuals
bound by the ties of domesticity. a
bachelor is a dislocated fragment.
His female counterpart is in the
same category. 1t may not be their
fault. 1t may lie in the necessity
of their case. Still, ali in all, it is a
condition foreign to divine inten-
ton.
1t is 10 the family, therefore, that
we shall have to look as being the
prime point OF concern in all that
relates to the veal of our times and
our kind. The strength and health
of society are to be measured by the
amount of afTectionate emphasis
that is laid on the homo idea, and
the wholesomencss of society is
simply the sanctity of the home
writ large. Homes are each of
them the separate roots that carry
their several contributions to the
organized structure of the general
life.
All of this holds whether society
be considered in its religious rela-
tions, which we know as the church,
and the homo is the first state. The
home is the first church, and the
home is the first state. There is
nothing in either of the two that is
not initially present in small way
inside the home circle. AS regards
the former there is very important
idea conserved in SO arranging our
church auditoriums rs to combine
the congregation without sacrificing
the identity of its families. The
pew system ofworsbipis the deft way
that our church architecture takes
to teach the doctrine that each home
is little religious organism. This
is one of those interesting cases
where a sense of fitness, even with
out being distinctly conscious of it,
nevertheless asserts itself and ere
ates very substantial expression of
itself. And there is no preacher
at least there is no pastor-who
does not carry distinctly in his
head, and particularly in his heart,
this cellular structure of his congre
cation and does not feel that the
of his congregation de
ponds not on the number of its indi-
viduals, but on the number of its
families

Peculiar Actions.

Last Friday a man hired a horse
and buggy from Geo. Bruestle to go
up Kanawha to buy mules, and
said he would return Saturday, but
on Saturday he sent message from
Thorn's store at Wyoma, that he
would keep the rig few days long
er. AS he has not showed up yet,
Mr.. Bruestle, this morning sent a
manafter him. The horse is blood
bay, small and heavily built, right
eye knocked out, with scar on right
foot. He don't know whether the
man intends to get away with his
horse and buggy, or not, but his
actions are very suspicious.

CFrom Thnrsdny,s Dnfly.,
Mrs. Mary c. Daird's Death.

Yesterday we made the brief an
nouncemenr of the death of Mrs
Mary C. Baird, which sad event
occurred about 8 o'clock in the
morning, Wednesday, June II, 1895,
-at the residence of her father, Capt.
John l. Charles, in this place. Mrs.
Baird was born in Point Pleasant,
December 24tb, 1860, and was reared.
and lived at the place of her birth,
except about six years, when she
resided at ST. Louis, Cairo, Ills, and
Memphis, Tenn. November 25th,
1885, she was united in marriage to
Mr. Andrew Baird, whose tragic
death, by the giving way of bridge
in course OF construction over the
Licking river, between Newport
and Covington, KY, in June, 1892,
is well remembered by our citizens
Two interesting children, Edith and
Charles, were born of this union,
who survive their parents. Mrs.
Baird has beer in delicate health
for several years, but her last and
fatal illness, the result of asthma,
was of only two weeks duration.
Everything that loving friends and
medical skill could do to restore her
to health and prolong her life was
done, but to no avail. Her parents
and two sisters, and brother, were
at her bedside when the final sum.
mons came. She was a woman of
kind and lovable disposition, and
made friends with all with whom
she came in contact. Her funeral
will take place from her late home,
her fathers residence, at 9 o'clock,
Friday morning, the 18th inst. The
Episcopal services will be read,
when the body will be conveyed to
Lone Oak Cemetery, and there in
tered by the side of her husband,
who was buried there on the 18th
of June, 1892, three days less than
three years ago. In common with
every one in this community our
heart goes out in sorrow for the or
phan children and the bereaved
family of the deceased.
The delinquent list published in
the Gazette shows a very bad state
of affairs in this county, and there
ought to be some remedy provided
for it. We cannot understand how
any man who makes the least pre-
tensions to honesty and respecta-
bility, will refuse or fail to pay his
personal property tax, and more his
school tax from which his children
derive so much benefit. Such a
man should be ashamed to look an
honest tax payerin the face. There
are hundreds returned delinquent
for the non payment of taxes, who
could pay them if they would make
the least effort. 1t is a disgrace to
the county, and is certainly discred-
liable TO very large majority OF
those returned delinquent Such
men do not make desirable citizens
in any community. We don't want
to be understood as rejecting upon
the Sheriff, for we believe he has
made every effort to collect these
tax tickets returned as delinquent
ofcourse you can't keep cool, but
keep as cool as you can.
