The series of special services con-
Quoted by Rev. c. H. Rockey at the
Lutheran church of Uvilla closed last
Sunday morning. These meetings
were pronounced the most edlfying
and spiritually helpful that have been
held for many years in the neighbor-
hood. Large congregations that filed
every available space gathered night
after night and gave the most rever-
ent and thoughtful attention to the
words of life. Last Sunday was the
closing service and was decidedly the
best day in the history of the church.
An audience filled aisles, pulpit, altar
and all available standing room. Thir-
ty-fve persons were received into full
membership of the church, and some
who professed Christ during the meet
ings will unite with other churches.
The church membership was greatly
strengthened. The communion Of the
Lords supper was administered to the
largest number of communicates in the
history of the church. 1t was day
of great inspiration.

Conference to begin March 25th at ROa-

pastor of the church at Winchester, to
the presiding eldersbip ofthe Winches-
ter district, which will become vacant
by the retiracy of Mr. Bush, and 1t is
the impression that the latter will sue

elder to succeed Rev. W. G. Ham
