rian church on SUNDAY. lie will
preach at the Southern Presbyterian
church on next Wednesday night at
7 o'clock
AT the Newport Christian Church
there was quite sensation. The
Rev. j @ Stewart, pastor, on resign
ing instead of giving his reasons
orally from the pulpit, said he had
prepared card, which was printed
in the church paper aud which would
be delivered to each member as they
left the church. Some Of the leading
officers stoutly objected, while the
editor was determined it should be.
The resignation grew out of the fact
that the pastor was bold in denounc-
ing the sinful practices of his member
ship. Following are his reasons:
/, Dancing parties given on the
regular prayer-meeting night by those
prominent in church work.
2. Dancing and card playing by
Sunday School and other workers.
3. Attending low class thesters by
members of the church.
4. Utter indifference aud careless
ness with regard to the work of the
church, neglect on the part of the
young people to attend to the COM
mon duties expected from them /. in
business meetings, choir work and
every other department of the SER
vice. "
Want of friendship, sympathy and
kindness on the part of those who
short time ago protested a gushing
fondness for the new preacher.
He had been pastor since Decem-
Der and sgnified his Intention 10

INQUIRE.

On Monday morning, February 20.
1899, at o'clock, Mrs. Evaline Nc
CURE died at her home at st. Helens,
in Lee county. She was born at Ha-
eel Green in January, 1916, and was
the oldest child of VIM. Trimble. She
was the sister of j. G. Trimble, of this
city. She was a member of the Chris
tan church and an excellent woman.
She is the third sister who has died
since Der, 1897, her sisters Mrs.
Emily Cockrell and Mrs. Caroline
Swsngo having since then preceded
her to the heavenly home.
j. G. Trimble and his sou Bruce
attended the funeral services of these
two at Hazel Green, and will go to-
day to consign another loved one to
grave, until that time when the dead
in Christ shall rise triumphant unto
the joys and privileges of the life eter-
nal at Gods right hand.
Yes, they are going, but the Lord
has dealt graciously with this large
family, giving unto them length of
days. We can only say: "Thy will, o
God, be DONE" remembering that
Fblessed are the dead who die in the
Lord.
