Third Adversary Of the Passionate Of Rev.
VIM. CUMMING.

Sunday last closed the third year of the
passionate of Rev. William Cumming as
pastor of the Second Presbyterian church
of this city. There was roll-call OF the
members, and short discourse from the
pastor, giving history Of the work done
during that time. From it we take the
following extract which will be of interest
to our readers
In February, 1892, there were 200 menu
| bers; the additions the first year were ITO;
the second 81, and the third 81; total addi-
| lions 22S.
During that time the following losses
occurred-14 by death, 40 by dismissal. z
by suspension, 5 stricken from the roll.
and 10 transferred to the reserve roll, a
total of II. This leaves the present mem
bership 357, a net gain to the church OF
157.
The Sunday school of the church now
numbers IT'S, against ITO at the beginning
of MI. Cummings passionate, and there
are 1856 members of the school at Endeavor
Chapel, making a total increase OF I'll.
The Endeavor Chapel school contributions
for the first year for Foreign Missions was
S55.
In the way of new work, the Christian
Endeavor Society has been organized dur
ing the present pastorate, and now has
membership of 1877, being the largest, and
in many respects, the most active in Vir-
ginia. .&
Nl,0 Of And
is now year old, has a membership OF 36,
making the large attendance of young men
notable feature in cur Sabbath congrega-
lions.
The Junior Aid Society has 80 members
and has gathered more than 1925 for
church work.
The Woman's Missionary Society, al
though not year old, has As members, and
contributed $50 to Missions.
The Ladies Aid Society has accomplish
ed much good for the church at home by
it's faithful work..
Among the improvements that have been
accomplished, are Lecture and Sunday
School room in the basement of the church,
new furnaces for heating purposes, a
chapel on the suburbs and an addition to
the manse.
With the increase in the congregation,
additional services have been inaugurated
for Tuesday and Thursday nights.
The finances of the church are in good
condition. A debt of 5000 for current ex-
penses has been wiped out, and the year
closes with all expenses paid and balance
of $2S in the treasury. The contributions
to the various church funds has increased
from $75 to $3.50. The membership has
not quite doubled, but the offerings are
five times as large as they were three years
ago.
At the close of the service eOngrega-
tional meeting was held, at which it was
decided to postpone the election of addi-
tional Deacons and an Elder, indefinitely.

ion service on Sunday. Rev. Mr.. Booker
has been the pastor Of this church for over
seven years, and up to five weeks ago, had
never taken week 8 rest from work. His
congregation had offered him a vacation
each year, to be taken whenever he wished,
| but until recent, he never felt the need OF
it and did not take it. The past year. how
ever, has been one of unusual strain. and
he gladly accepted the suggestion to take
vacation. This vacation has been spent
quietly at home, with the exception OF one
or two days at Clifton Forge, where he
preached last Sunday for his old class mate,
Rev. Mr.. MacCorkle, who is now enjoying
trip abroad.
MI. MacCorkle's people, who are Jealous

First, the best Manse in the Presbytery OF
Lexington, and second, the coolest weather
in this part of the country-her record was
200 below zero three weeks ago last Sunday.
and on last Sunday morning 14o below.
With such a record, it is scarcely necessa-
sy to say that plenty of good ice has been
stored away by everybody.
The winter, since Christmas, has been
very healthy, though very severe-very
few sick.
Many of the farmers have met with seri-
Gus loss by fatal disease among their
sheep and lambs.

In Memoriam.
Burdette, died at the residence of her son-in-law
Chas P. La m bert, ESQ.,, in Staunton, Va, on the
18th inst. of pneumonia. beautiful earthly
life has blossomed into eternal life in Heaven.
Like flower modestly hiding its sweetness from
passing gaze. her lovely character was but
little known beyond the sphere of home and
friends, where its fragrance will linger on the
latest memories. Hers was q faith unfa!tering
and unquestioning; hers, LOYALTY that never
wavered and patience that never murmured.
Her piety was of that pure and gentle type
that did not obtrude itself, and yet was alwasy
felt like sweet, unseen influence stealing apo n
your consciousness-a type that never compro-
missed with expediency, nor dallied near the
edge of wrong. She was a Christian from earliest
childhood, and for generations, her ancestors
had been Presby terians of the strictest Scotch
Irish sect so that her religious training and in
heritance was rich to envy. The atmosphere OF
her presence was so calm, SO serene and unaffec-
ted by the Whirl of the worlds exc1tements that
it twas no wonder she always thought that '.home
was nearest heaven" In its quiet sphere her
life was patiently and faithfully spent in the
service Of her Master and those whom He had
entrusted to her care. No sufferer was ever
turned from her door nnrelieved, nor was any
call to duty unheeded. The writer knew her
we'll for more than fifty years, and never heard
from her lips an Expression approaching unkind-
ness or harShnesS. Kind and firm, gentle and
loyal, forgiving and sympathetic, faithful and
trustful, hopeful and prayerful, she was of that
splendid type of matrOns, once SO familiar in
as to be surprising Her memory is rich legacy
to all who knew her.
