GRANITE, VA March 3, 1898.
Mr. Editor:-We were greatly sur
prised on last sunday when Mrs.J h

with Prof. Blackwell and Mrs. N. G.
Robinson Of Manchester, Va. came to
present the Gravel Hill Baptist Church
a communion set. The children of the
public schools assembled at the house
of Rev Meekins ard at 3 o'clock march
ed around in body to the church and
by the sweet strains of a sacred march
played by Mrs. Alberta Jackson enter
ed. After which they sang a selection
from the Gospel hymns. Rev. w. w.
Young, the pastor arose and said he
was informed that Mrs. Blackwell was
here to make the church present. and
invited her to speak
Prof. Blackwell made few introduce
tory IT marks. After which Mrs. Black
well arose and in a neat speech held
the audience spell. boun0. So surpris-
ed were they all when she unwrapped
q $35 communion set that words were
inadequate to express their feelings.
Mr. w. d Bonner made the speech
of acceptance, assuring her that she
had won the hearts or the people prior
to this gift, but now she had riveted it.
Mr.. Willis Jackson spoke on behalf OF
the Sunday-school, the infant chI rch
Deacon Pearson on behalf of the Dea-
cons and Rev. W. w. Young on the
part Of the whole church.
The meeting was one long to be re-
membered. Mrs. Blackwell is a tire
less worker, having secured the money
by the generous gifts Of friends in
Manchester, Petersburg and her pub
lie school. We learn she will give US
another surprise soon. May Gods
richest blessings be hers.

your future husband, with age and
date OF marriage, and tells whether
the one you love Is true or false.
IhSre are some persons who believe
that there is no truth to be gained from
consulting Medium, but such beliefs
are contrary to the truth. 1t is ONLY
from the lack of discrimination that
such conclusion can be reached. 1t
is not every one who placards himself
or herself as medium that can stand
q test OF what be or she claims.
And person of an enquiring mind
may ask the reason why. 1t is simplv
that these advisers do not take *he
trouble to study hun an nature. Thev
do not spend their thoughts for a mo-
% INT with acquiring the art of phase
ology and kindred branches that will
have a tendency to make the pathway
to the road of the business clear and
devoid of all obstacles.
1t is an undeniable fact that persons
wall come for advice in full knowledge
OF what they want to know, and yet
s soon as they confront a Medium they
try their utmost endeavor to dispeI
from their minds what they know so as
TO hear If it Will be rehearsed by the
Medium. To get the secret out or a
person by pumping" in no few cases
Is the art used by many unprincipled
mediums, but to take hold of the head
and gain control of the mind thereby is
matter of impossibility to most of
them. And yet this can be done and
by consulting Mcs. Marth the seeming
mystery becomes a realization.
This subject has received no little
attention by eminent men and even
college professors So it proves con-
clusively that although there are in
fringers in our midst with oily tongues
perhaps the gates of wisdom have not
been closed to the entire profession.
1t takes great deal of study to be-
come an accomplished medium and oy
continuous and untiring effort, the
key to the well of apparently unfathom
able mysteries has been secured by
MRS. MARTH for the benefit Of hui
manity.
