A Popular Pastor.

We are at liberty to make the pub
lie announcement that the Rev. j.
G Greichen has given notice to the
Joint Council of bis resignation as
pastor of st. Stephens Pastoratc.
His resignation will go into effect at
the close of the Synodical year.
This announcement will be received
with the deepest sorrow and SINGER
est regret, not ouly by the members
of his own immediate flock, over
whose spiritual welfare he has so
long and so faithfully watched, but by
Christians of every creed and name
and by the community at large. Earn
est, energetic and conscientious in the
discharge of his every duty, he has
entwined himself in the respect, es-
TEEN and love of our people that
the severance of these golden cords
which binds pastor to people, people
to pastor and brother to brother is
painful to contemplate and over
shadows our homes and our hearts
with gloom and grief almost indiscrib-
able in their depths. In whatever field
ofusefulness God may call him to la
Dor, he, and his estimable and refred
family will carry with them the best
wishes of this community in which
they have so long lived, for their hap,
piness, prosperity and success, and
the prayers of Gods people will as
cend to the courts of high heaven as
sweet incense in testimony of his
worth as a man and q Christian. Iu
closing we cannot keep back the
thought that our town has been made
better and purer by reason OF his
presence here.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
1t would be unjust for us not 10
make mention in your valuable COL
umns OF the closing exercises Of HUI
lon public school, which took place
last Friday, Feb. 11th. The room
was beautifully decorated with ever
green and brilliantly lighted with
candels.
The recitations were certainly
splendid. A dialogue by three little
girls was not to be excelled. Music
between the recitations added
greatly to the pleasure Of the visitors
and it may be truthfully said that
the exercises in general did credit to
the children and faithful teacher and
honor to the parents.
After the exercises the crowd en-
ioyed refreshments on the grounds.
The results Of the cake walk was
that it was won by Leesvi!le couple,
and as the sun was nearing tie
western horizon a large crowd OF
parents and pupils gathered around
Miss Lena Adams, the accomplished
teacher, to thank her for her earnest
efforts to place the children on
higher plain, and to bid her farewell,
and we may say too, that we feel as
sured no one could make more sue
cessful career than she. If all the
teachers in Lexington county were
such as she, our public schools would
be a greater blessing to US than they
are in their present condition.

THE SITUATION.

1t is extremely critical ard dis
couraging. The old church building
had no insurance upon it. Oar new
church building which we have been
slowly erecting by our limited means
is far from being finished, our funds
now exhausted and the completion OF
the new building is imperative.
We were solely dependent on the
old church building and since is
obstruction, we are without a church
home, worshipipg temporarily in the
Episcopal Church Chapel.
HELP NEEDED AT ONCE.
Our church cannot be flushed
unless our friends come promptly to
our aid and help US.
Oar people are loyal and wiling,
but they cannot lift this burden with
out assistance. But if You will now
give the helping hand, we can 60
forward and complete this grand i'm
portant task.
EVERY ONE ciN HELP Us.
Every one can give US something.
The smallest contributed will be
most thankfully received and greatly
encourage us.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.-State Sen
ator Perry A. Gibson, Of the Eric county
district, to-day met Governor Hastings at
the Stratford Hotel this city, by appoint
ment, and laid before him lengthy petition
which the senator had received from in
mates of the Soldiers and Sailors Home at
Erie, Pa. The petition prayed the senator to
take steps 10 recover for them pension
money which they had received from the
national government, and which they al
lege has been Illegally taken from them by
the trustees of the institution at Erie. The
petition is signed by one hundred inmates
OF the nome, who allege that az aggregate
that the amount taken from the inmates OF
organized, aggregates nearly $1O0, 900. and is
The method of taking this money from the
old soldiers, the petition alleges, is a rule
adopted by the trustees of the institution,
which compels the inmates to turn over to
the home all pension money received in ca
cess of 81 per month, on penalty of dis
charge. The petitioners say they are in
formed that this amount is placed in the
hands of Louis Wagner, of Philadelphia,
treasurer of the board of trustees of the
home, and that it is used in extending relief
to dependent relatives Of pensioners in the
home. The petitioners say they have no
dependent relatives and that their money

PICTURES OF LEO XIII.
BiOgra pin Views of His Holiness Ex-
hibited Before Catholic PreIates.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-To-night, at
Carroll Institute, before an audience rep
resentative of social, political and ecclesi-
astical life, a private exhibition was given
of the moving pictures OF Pope Leo XIII
as reproduced by the biograph. Among the
distinguished personages present were Arch
bishop Martinelli, the apostolic delegate to
the United States; Archbishop Chapelle,
apostolic delegate to Cuba; Monsigneur
Conati, of the Catholic University: Bishops
Donahue and Curtis, and prominent church
men from New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and other places. The diplomatic corps was
well represented. and there were also pres
ent members of the United States Senate,
House OF Representatives and many promi-
nent citizens.
The pictures of Leo XIII were enthusi-
astcally received as Father Malone, the
well-known Catholic lecturer told their
story. They represent the Pope walking in
the Vatican gardens, driving III the Vatican
carriage OF state, and in various positions
in his apartments in the Vatican. 1he clos
his blessing to his subjects in America, was
received most impressively by the audience.
AS Father Malone uttered the following the
audience was visibly affected: "A strong
tie of personal affection unites his Ameri-
can children to Pope Leo: anu as they look
upon the frail figure and the face that al
ready seems to be rejecting back the glory
of the other life, many q heart will be
touched with n sense Of pain and sadness.
But. on the other hand, mono can escape a
thrill of pride and admiration at the picture
of sustained power that is here represent
ed" The apostolic delegate expressed him
self as delighted with the pictures of the
