Notes of the Churches.


Some weeks ago Rev. DR.. Charles
Ghiselin, pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church, tried the experiment of hold
ing service Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock, instead Of at night. A large
proportion of his congregation lives
in the country, and as these members
seldom attended at night the change
was made 1t has proven to be quite
satisfactory. Many of the country
members now attend, and the town Is
also well represented, causing graft
flying increase in the congregations.
1t closes one church at night, howev-
er, and it may be well for some Of
the other ministers to ell the vacancy
with night service.
Communion services will be held in
the Presbyterian Church, Shepherds
town, Sunday at / a. NJ, with prepar-
atory services Saturday at II a. m.
Rev. j. L. KILLER will preach in the
Kearneysville Presbyterian Church
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
An interesting meeting is being
conducted by the various ministers of
the neighborhood at Shenandoah juno
ton. Union services are held each
night, and are we'll attended. There
have been several conversions.

married by Rev. W, W. Van Arsdale.
A letter to their parents the same
evening told of the event. 1t caused
considerable surprise, for the secret

There had been opposition to the match
on the part of the brides parents, but
what was done was done, and they
gracefully concluded to accept the
inevitable, for now, as always, love
will have its way. The bride and
groom returned to Shepherdstown
Sunday night, and are now at Mr..
