Sunday School Convention.

About one hundred delegates attended the
annual session of the Sunday School conven-
ton of the Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church of Virginia, which met in Christ
church in this city last week-beginning on
Tuesday and ending Thursday night. The
body was ably presided over by Vice-P President
J. A. Alexander of this city in the unavoid-
able absence of the President Mr. Coffman, of
Woodstock. The church was handsomely
decorated with flowers to harmonic with the
altar-hangings and the music by the quartette
choir added greatly to the enjoyment of the
occasion.
Mr.. Charles G. Berry delivered in a happy
manner the welcoming address, which met
with an appropriate response from Rev. A.
A. J. Bushong of Woodstock, thanking the
people of Staunton for their kindly reception.
Intermingled with the devotional services,
were many able addresses on appropriate
topics by the ministers and lay-delegates-the
closing exercises On Thursday evening being
of unusual interest The Rev. Edwin Kyle
Delk-now of Hagerstown, Md, but by birth
Virginian-a addressed the large congregation
present on the subject, IF Luther should
come to America
1t was scholarly effort displaying great
erudition-his sketch of Luther's powerful
character being drawn with mastery hand,
and the whole address from beginning to end,
being characterized by depth of thought, ele-
gance of diction and grace of delivery.
The intellectual head and commanding
presence of the speaker. with his splendid
voice and elocution and soft Virginia accent
ombined not little to enhance the effect
which his eloquence produced upon his hear
ers The singing of Luthers hymn Elm
Feste Burg" which. followed immediately
upon Mr.. Delk's taking his seat, was fittine
climax to the intellectual height to which he
had carried his auditors.

ALTON, va.

This is time of changes and no man
knows what day may bring forth. While
the mongrel politicians of the "G o. P" are
raising cain out in st. Louis, Mo-, one thing
here in conservative old Virginia is being
clearly demonstrated.
1t is the peoples confidence in and approval
of Harry fuckers career in Congress and his
courage as man to stand by his opinions,
without fear or favor. Mr.. Tucker made
flying trip over the Ridge the latter part OF
last week, crossing at Alton aud visiting
among old friends down the Rockfish Valley
to Lovingston, and he received a warm-healt-
ed, spontaneous ovation from Humpback
mountain to the Stage Bride. Outside of polltl-
cal opinions-which are respected when hon
est-the world loves a clear conviction of duty
and moral courage, both of which Mr.. Tuck
ers course IN Congress and at the late Con-
vention furnishes overwhelming proof. The
tenth District can trust Harry Tucker with its
interests and will show it.
"Childrens Day. at Hebron Baptist Church
Sunday was largely attended. The singing by
the school and visiting scholars from branch
Sabbath schools was finely given and several

The protracted meetings at the Chapel OF

ouent preaching of Rev. NJ r. Dadman many
converts have been eceived.

rienced fine awakening Of religion IN the
