Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-07-16

The months of July and August will
be very dull in the Wheeling churches.
Several of them will be closed for at
least a portion of that period, while
others will discontinue their evening
services during the hot weather. 1t is
also the time for the annual vacations
Of the pastors, and in several churches
the vacancies will not be supplied.
Prominent church workers and church
attendants are among the number who
are leaving for the seashore and noun
tains, and the heat in many instances
interferes with the size of the congre-
cations. The churches in which SER
vices will be continued throughout the
summer are not working as actively as
usual. The Roman Catholic Church
services will be held every Sunday as
usual throughout July and August.
The congregation of the EbeneZer
Baptist Church, colored, is holding
camp meeting at Whiteman's Grove, in
Upper Benwood. All the services are
very interesting and are we'll attended.

spending the week in the country, will
return to conduct services at the usual

gust for the remadelling of the Third
