The Recent Democratic Convention
4 Minister Resigns.

FAYETTEVILLE, VA, April H-(Spe-
cial Great interest was manifested IN
the Democratic County Convention, held
here on last Monday. The districts were
fully represented, not a delegate being
absent. There were a number OF candl-
dates for the different offices, and the
canvass before the convention assembled
had been quite an active one. There was
no opposition TO William ;. Crdlle, tho
present Clerk. and he was renomlnated
by reclamation. There was not much
doubt as TO the nomination OF IL /:
Smith for Commemorative Attorney OF
j. Nj. Booth for Treasurer, ana or X. :.
Brent for Commissioner OF the Revenue
but the nomination for Snerin proved
great surprise TO most OF the assembly.
Frank Settle, the successful candidate,
was Sheriff for two terms prior 10 the
last term of that office. The friends or
W. T.. Flynt, the present SnerlI, thouBht
that his nomination was almost without
doubt However, the WicOmcO delegation,
which was expected 10 be divided, went
solidly for Settle, and won him the nOml-
nation The nominees were escorted 20
the rostrum, where they expressed their
appreciation of the public confidence ana
favor in appropriate words.
The meeting was largely attended, ana
was quite a representative one. BEFORE IL
WAS adjourned Lloyd +. Smith oHered
resolution providing for the election OF
tend the convention i'm Richmond in May
where the proposed plan of elected United
States senators by popular vote Will be
discussed. The object Of the proposed
convention was very ably set forth by
him. and expressions of opinion from
others followed. a unanimous favorable
opinion seemed TO prevail Twelve dele
gates were selected as follows: Lloyd L.

William Henderson, Asa ;. Rice II. ..

Rev. j. Carson Watson, the Methodist
minister recently sent 10 this circuit,
came forward at the close Of his sermon
last Sunday evening and announced that
owing 10 falling health he felt IL his duty
10 resign charge OF his churches. He will
return in a few days 70 his former home
in OnancOck Va. During his short stay
here he has endeared himself much 70
the people, and there is mutual regret at
the necessity OF his resignation. He has
been in the ministry forty years, and the
circuit is one requiring too much work
and exposure for any but robust man.
IN is not known who will hll his place.

churches. The American churches should
look across the sea with gratitude 10
their ecclesiastical ancestors. He spoke
at length on the points upon which parent
and daughters were agreed. Ignorance
is no longer recognized as the father OF
devotion. Ignorance in the pulpit is no
longer regarded with equauimity. The
simple fact remains undeniable that when
great and cody and good men are in
the pulpit. great spiritual progress Will
be made. The only way to face the
social problems Of the age, he said. is 20
bring forth Gods truth. In Canada. he
said there was only one great Presby-
terrain Church. and only one Methodist
Church. and these two bodies were gradu-
ally drawing closer together. and the
Methodist ministers were growing more
Calvinistic In their prayers and teachings

Reformed Church-oxpIessed his high APP
probation of the honor which he felt

president Of the meeting.
DR. Good said one OF the pleasantest
things about the alliance was the variety
it brought. one OF the grand things about
II was the reminder that the Calvinistic
churches were pOlyglOt. The alliance has
done a grand work In the foreign mission
field. The centre Of Christe., lm-the
European Conunent-must not 0e lost
sight Of. and the churches there need the
touch Of the alliance to rouse them.
The Reformed churches OF Germany
he said. stand as the oldest representa-
tiyes In the alliance. The Church was a
catechctical Church. 1t was an Irenic
Church.
THE Reformed DUTCH CHURCH
The last speaker was Rev. DR.. Burreil,
Of New York. who spoke upon "Ihe Re
formed Dutch Church Of Holland and
America" At the time that This coun-
try was being settled. the only country
ia the world where the battle for re-
ligious freedom mad been fought 70 a
finish was Holland. The first men who

ALLIANCE OF REFORMED
CHURCHES.

DR.. Roberts took as his subject the
Alliance OF the Reformed Churches-Its
History and Its Work" He made a
tender and affectionate reference at the
outset TO the late Rev. DR.. Moses ID. Hoge.
As the secretary Of the alliance ne said.
he desired TO bear testimony 10 the ser
vice DR. Hoge rendered 10 the objects
for which the alliance stands. The al
lance, he said, was a worldwide or
ganizatiou. The view that the Presby-
terrain churches We're divers sects was
not correct 1--WE Presbyterians are CO.
extensive with the world" he said, TO
indicate the cathOlicity of the Presbyta-
ran Church, he said there were 100000
Presbyterians in Hungary, and Louis
Kossuth was an elder. Only two churches
are universal-the Reformed and the
Roman Catholic. AS a church. the Pres
byterians stood for the Reformation. All
of the progress, religious and political.
in the world. had been promoted by the
Reformed churches. The alliance. he
said. stands for the purposes which made
this land an Independent country. The
armies Of the Revolution were composed
of Calvinists for the most part. Twelve
out of tWenty-fOur generals In Washing
TONS army were from Scotland. Thomas
jefferson he asserted would never have
written the Declaration Of independence
had II not been Tor the Westminster Con
fesson Of Faith. The speaker touched
upon the tenets OF the Presbyterian faith
and said the Presbyterians stand for the
universally Of the Gospel. In conclu-
sion he emphasized the spiritual unity
Of the Presbyterian Church. Presby-
teriarisrn. he said. is federated. and the
federation of States in this country Is
a type of the coming federation OF the
churches The Presbyterian Church had
always stood for expansion in the religious
sense.
