A NEW DEPARTURE IN CHURCH
WORK.
DR.. Garrett Inaugurates Novel sys-
TEN From Which He Expects
u Great WorIS.


Rev. Dr. r. =. Garrett, pastor of
Court Street BAPTIST Church, who is Sc
riously interested In the spiritual well
fare of the people Of our city, has in
augurated a. novel system of church
work, by which he not only hopes to
accomplish u great deal for the cause
he represents, but also to infuse little
more of the missionary spirit into the
members of his church.
This idea is an original one. and
there can be 40 doubt of it's success. In
brief, he has pre-supposed that all the
territory lying within The First and
Second Wards as the field OF the Court
Street Baptist Church, and has accord
inSly appointed thirty-two from among
the young people connected with his
church to canvass the territory thor
oughly.
Inquiry will be made OF every white
family in the district as to their church
affliation, without reference to creed or
denominations. noting rnnutely on
cards prepared for this purpose, each
family who does not attend church. to-
gether with their denomination. This
will be reported to DIR. Garrett, and
where 1t shall appear that other than
tho l3aptists who attend no church,
their names and denominations will be
sent to some one of the parties of that
church that he may make an effort to
set them 10 attend services.
The canvassng began yesterday
morning and DIR. Garrett requests that
his assistants be furnished with all tho
Informal ton necessary to the eXpedi-
ting this laudable undertaking.

REV. DIR. GARRETr's RECEPTION.

REV. DIR. GARRETTS RECEPTION.
The members of the Court Street
Baptist Church rendered Rev. DR.. Gar
rett and his wife public reception last
night in the Sunday school room.
The room was taStefully decorated
with evergreen and autumn leaves,
with Dotted plants scattered here and
there around the room. The orchestra
was located on a platform in the north
end of the room, and dispersed excel
lent music, which enlivened the oc-
casion. The doctor and his wife were
seated upon a platform at the east end
of the room, and as the guests entered
they were presented to them by the
Reception Committee. After eHchang-
ing few pleaSantries and wishing the
reverend gentleman and his good lady
much health and prosperity and a hap
Ply greeting to their new home, they
saunfered off to another part of the
room, TO give others an opportunity to
do likewise. They were then taken
charge of by the Willing Workers of
the church and were furnished with
cake and cream.
The evening was pleasantly spent
and will no doubt make the doctor and
his good lady feel that. although
strangers in our midst, they are thrice
welcomed, and that the good people OF
Portsmouth are glad to have them with
lis.
Among those present were a number
of members OF the clergy of this city.
