Vessel Leaves For Cuba.

WILMINGTON, n. c., Feb. IT,
There was busy scene on Satur-
day on board the steamer Commo-
dore, the ship that has created so
much interest in Cuban-Spanish
circles. She will carry only a
small complement OF men. The
crew will be commanded by Cap
tain Samuel Hughes, of the Hart
line steamer Laurada. Her ma
chinery Is working beautifully I'M
der the management OF two Of the
finest marine engineers OF this
country. One of them is jeff.
Smith, OF this city, who was chief
engineer of the noted war vessel
Nichtheroy, which figured in the
Brazilian war. The Commodore
carries large and valuable cargo
of arms, ammunition and stores.
Her clearance papers from this
port indicate that she goes to
Charleston, but there is 3 vague
impression that she may go else
where. At 11:15 at night the
steamer cast loose from her moor
ings, backed out into the river and
started on her journey. Owing to
the late hour and the secrecy main
tanned in regard to her departure,
but a small crowd was present who
cheered enthusiastically. She re-
turned the compliment with three
loud blasts from her whistle.

EOr several years picNIOuS W tHo
building of the old Cove school in 1884
prayer aud class meetings were held in
private houses of the few Methodist
families who held their membership at
Perkintown and Pilesgroye. Within
three miles of Penn'a Grove were these
Methodist families: John Holton's,
John Summefill's, Daniel Vanneman's,
Bartholomew Stiles, John I,oqHa and
James S. %Springer's. Messrs. llolt0n,
Boqua and Stiles were exhorters, or
local preachers and John Summeriii
and John Stiles were Stewards in Per-
klntown Church.
The school house was built as much
for religious services as for a school
house. In 1885 the school house was
placed on the list Of appointments with
preaching every four weeks. In May
1888 the lirst Sunday school was organ-
lied with James Denny rs Superinttnd-
ent. While he had opposition the fol-
lowing came TO his assistance as teach
ers, Ann RGqua, Rehecca Sack,
Thomas Z. Holton and Anu Summer
i'll. 10 1871 old Harmony school house
was built on the site of the present
Pann's Grove public school and the
second Sunday school was organized.
We have been informed that the last
preacher in the old Pilesgrove Church
was in 1875 by Rev. S. Townsend.
The preachers at Perkintown from
1915 to 1850 were the same as at EN-.
manuel Church. When Bridgeport
Circuit was forming out Of part of
Swedesboro Circuit in 1850 the pastors
were as follows:

to make them members vt Auburn and

Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers we are treading
Where the Saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never
Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Cbrist's W promise,
And that cannot fail.
Coward, thenTy e people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, land and honor
Unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing
In the afternoon two of the old Sum
day-school Superiptendents, s. II. Leap
aud j. d. Tortop were present and re-
called pleasant recollectiOns of the past.
The others living were u~nayoldably
absent.
In the evening. in the absence of
Rev. L. 9. Parker, Mr.. McIntire
preacher a very entertaining sermon
from Jude 80 verse, "Ye shall earnest
ly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints" He spoke
of the plainness of the preachers Of so
years ago and more, what they had to
contend with and The doctrine they so
fearlessly expended The three points
insisted upon were regeneration, saDcti
fcation and that all may be saved. The
Calyanistic doctrine that some can not,
was the greatest point attacked, as they
had learned opponents. As the old
methods have proved to be best, as wit
| messed by the dying testimony OF many,
we should earnestly contend for the
faith of the saints.
On Monday evening a very spirited
class meeting was held. Or Tuesday
evening Rev. j. W. Marshal Nm.
den, preached a very clear and logical
sermon from Matt. 1:21, Thou shall
call his name Jesus.n His first point
was the name Jesus; I'd, salvation in
the name; Sd, people who are saved by
the name.
The most impressive service was the
MEMORIAL SERVICE
on Wednesday afternoon when the
names of many old faithful and active
members were called. aud several were
responded to BY persons who spoke of
their earnest Christian character and
work. Edward Shoemaker, who WIS
converted in 1882, led the opening pray
