The accident caused recently by the
sliding of the bank on which the track
was built into the water, has drawn
the attention of intelligent persons to
the dangers that menace travellers
who pass over lines built in close prox-
unity to deep water courses. Many
civil engineers consider 1t possible to
anchor the foundations OF track so
that II will be, to all intents and pur-
poses, perfectly secure. That the best
laid plans are not sufficient to avert
disaster is self-evident fact. The
causes Of these slides are, first of all,
the steep embankment, then the con-
tinuous agitation of the wet mud by

BERKYEY. VA, April 18th, 1898.
We are indeed sorry to state that the
Bishop, whom we said. in the last issue
would be present at Trinity Church on
last Sunday failed to appear. One of
the reasons for his not coming was on
account of the death Of one of our ID.
De.
The morning services of Trinity A.
Nj. T.. Church was well attended as we'll
as the other services, and the congre-
CATION was favored with q most excel
lent and soul-reviving sermon by the
pastor, who preached on the Resur-
rection of Jesus. His description Of
the scene in and around the sepulchre
were very vivid and lifelike. He pie
tured the angel dispatched from God
splitting the ether with the velocity of
electricity, and rolling away the stone,
with such vividness that could really
witness the scene as being enacted at
the present time.
The 9th Street Baptist church was
very we'll attended all day and the
choir rendered good music.
With the aid Of the Easter eggs the
1st Baptist Church succeeded IN rails
ing q very handsome amount. The
Easter exercises were carried out at
half after two o'clock. 1t was well at
tended. and fairly good program was
rendered.
We had the honor of attending the
Zion Baptist Church in Portsmouth,
hence we were not present at our own
church. The choir sang excellently,
and we enjoyed an excellent sermon
from Rev. Armistead, d. D., who after
| denouncing the idea entertained by
some that Christ unceremoniously re-
entered the courts Of Glory. that he
was received without any declaration,
| that the harps remained silent at his
re-entrance, and beautifully contrast
ed the reception and public demon
stration made at the arrival OF Cesar
Alexander, Pompey and other warriors
with that made at the reappearing OF
our Lord sfGer 80 years absence.
