Church Notes.

As Rev. Buchanan was absent last
Sunday his pulpit was occupied by
two of the Professors from the Uni
yersity who preached to large audi
ences. Dr. Goodnight in the morn
ing and Prof Hodges in the evening.
The sermon at the dedication will
be delivered by Rev. J. p. E. Kun
Ter, d. d. pastor Of the East Liberty
Presbyterian church Pittsburg. He
is preacher of national reputation
and will be greeted by an immense
audience.
Communion services will be held
at the Nj. e. church next Sunday
morning.
The regular bi.weekly Saturday
night dance took place Saturday
night and was greatly enjoyed by all
who were present. This is one of
the most pleasant features connected
with the University and aids very
materially in polishing the students
who attend it.
The sunrise Praise service held at
the M. p. Church last Thursday was
greatly enjoyed by the large crowd
present. In the evening every evidence
of the church's Indebtedness was burn
ed in the presence Of the congregation
and a general joilifieation over the rid
dance toolz.place. The church is now
entirely free from debt and is in the
most prosperous condition in its his.
tory. This happy state Of affairs is
due largely to the efforts If the pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Barnes.
Sunday morning communion service
will be held at the NJ. p Church and
all the members are requested to be
present.
The B. Y. p. u. had special pro
gram last Sunday evening which
was enjoyed by large audience. The
entire program was well rendered
and reflects much credit on the young
people who had it in charge.
Rev. W. e. Powell, of Parkersburg
will preach to the Baptist congrega-
ton here next Sunday morning. The
Doctor is very able divine and his
sermon will undoubtedly be very
fine one.
The Presbyterian church will be
dediceted on December ID. The oc-
casion will be made notable one
and great many people are expect
ed to be present.

The Morgantown Liar.

The local correspondent for several
of the city papers has again broken
loose. He has a cut and dry stock Of
lies that he uses when driven to it by
drouth of Legitimate news. Some
time ago he sent blood curdling tale
OF midnight ghouls who passed
through town with the naked body of
corpse taken from the cemetery.
Needless to say there was not single
grain of truth in the tale. Last
week he hobs up with shocking yarn
about the vast number of speakeasies
in town and blames them to the pres
ence of the glass workers who have
recently arrived. We venture to say
that there is as little Illicit selling of
liquor here as there is in any town of
its size in the country The evil is
kept down to the lowest possible
notch and has not recently increased
to an extent which could be easily no.
ticed. Most of the ardent consumed
here is bought by the correspondent
himself atoutside points and shipped
in, hence the tales.
A good coat of tar and feathers
would help this case if the proper par
ties could be discovered.

Sadly we will miss his fellowship and

brother be entered upon the roster of
our beloved dead. and our lodge hall,
and the emblems of the order be draped
in mourning. and the usual badge of
mourning be worn by the brothers, for
thirty days.
Second, That we extend to the family
and friends OF our deceased brother our
heartfelt coincidence and sympathy.
and express to them our feelings Of
deepest regret in their great bereave.
ment and paramount grief.
Third, That these resolutions be en-
tered at large upon the records OF the
lodge and a copy transmitted to the
family of the deceased brother, and
