Religious.


The subject tomorrow Sunday
morning at the Episcopal church will
he-"Why | am an Episcopalian.'
Few persons know why they belong to
any religious body, so the Rector takes
this method of instructing his people
and such others as may want to hear
the reasons assigned.
According to announcement in last
weeks JOURNAL, Rev. S. B. Barnitz,
d. D., of Des Moines, Iowa, occupied
the pulpit of St. Pauls English Luth-
eran church Sunday morning, 4th inst.
He also addressed the Sunday school
in the afternoon. His theme on both
| occasions was "Home Mission Work"
and was treated in his own inimtable
way. The doctors visit to Frostburg
was most highly appreciated by all
who were privileged to hear him. He
succeeded in creating in the English
Lutheran congregation quite an added
interest in the cause he so efficiently
and eloquently presents. AS one of
| the young men of the church remarked
1.-THE Doctor is all nun, and IN his
position of Western Secretary of the
Board of Home Missions of its General
Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church,
is the right man in the right place."
The tender is made to him to "come
again and your reception will be more
than ever cordial"
Rev. F. L. Kurtz asked the Balti-
more Presbytery Thursday for leav to
resign the pastorate of the Presbyterian
church il >stburg. The request
was granted "a Rev. C. J. McCracken
was authorized to declare the pulpit
vacant Nov. l.
Some member of the Synod, now in
session in Cumberland, will probably
preach in the English Lutheran church
tomorrow.
Preaching at the M. E. Church,
South, tomorrow Sunday at 10 a. m.
and 7 p. M. The subject of the even
ing sermon will be-"Some Things
which the Religion of Jesus is" IA
cordial invitation is extended to ALL"
says the pastor.
