CHURCH WORK IN The SOUTH
An Interesting Letter from L w
DeShields, Of this City, from
Berkeley, Virginia.

BERKELEY, VIRGINIA, Dec. 10, 1885.
Dear Editor:-Please allow me sufficient
space in your valuable paper to speak for
the first time of our work In the South.
We are improving nicely in our church
work. Finances are very scarce, but we
have bright prospect Of better day. We
had trial sermon since we have been
here. A young man felt as II God had
impressed him to preach the word of God
He stood fair examination, and our pre-
siding elder licensed him to preach the
Gospel Of Christ without favor our
affection.
We are glad to announce through the
paper that the Rev. Jos. NJ Van Blunt and
wife of the Holiness Christian Association,
also editor of the Grown of Glory" paid
us a visit on Wednesday last. They are
the missionaries that we had tho pleasure
of being with up North, and will preach.
for us Thursday, December II. Several
invitations will be sent to the different
white friends and churches Portsmouth
mission is doing very well considering
the hard times. Norfolk mission Is still
alive Stonytown mission has been hold
ing revival and had grand success
spiritually.
Lambert's Point mission is moving
along nicely. We are in quite hurry,
and will not take up the space in speaking
of our other missions. We will say that
we are still alive in the South. The
Union American NJ. 4. banner is still
floating in the Southern cities, and by the
Divine assistance we shall continue to
build up His kingdom upon earth We
are commencing to see the grand necessity
of our work spreading in the South. We
need not send missionaries to Africa,
India and other heather countries, be-
cause here are people that will not endure
sound doctrine. The prayers of the
general public are solicited for our sue
cess We remain yours that are interest.
ed in the Southern work,
l.. W. DESHIELDS.
P.S. Garments of all kinds will be ac-
cepted.

"A Romance of Coon Hollow" which was
one of the substantial triumphs of the

Rather u Mix Up.

The Mandamus case has mixed the law
yers up considerably. They say never be-
fore has such case come before the Courts.
The air is full of contempt charges. In
fact it would not do to arrest every man
who felt contempt for some of the mat.
tiers that are acted upon by the courts.
The Kenv county muddlei is corker The
Republicans claim that Hutson, Prothon-
AIRY, should have issued the wrlts as Or
dered by the Superior Court, and not hay
ing done So he Hutson, is in contempt
and should be punished by the Court But
being Democrat, he can do ms he pleases
and don't have to do as the Court pleases.
II he had been Republican officer and
had dared to disobey the order OF the
Court, he would have been committed to
Dover Jail before this. Hurson is also
clerk of the Superior Court as well as the
Court of Errors and Appeals of Kent
county. In fact he is II regular Poo-bah'
in his position as clerk of the Superior
Court he was called upon to issue the writ
of peremptory mandamus ordered by that
Court. As Parliamentary, the appeals
were filed before him and he was directed
to get out the writ Of error 1t appeared
that if he refused to issue the writ oil
mandamus he would be in contempt of
the Superior Court, while II he dlu issue
