STAYING AWAY FROM CnUCH.
Or. Parkhurst Gives Some Reasons
Why Men Remain at Home.

Sometimes there is no good in
going to church." writes Rev. Char
les II. Parkhurst, d. D., on what
is the Good of Going to Church,"
in the June Ladies Home Journal.
1T depends principally on the
church 1t is often claimed that
church attendance is on the de-
crease. People are not going to be
drawn in by being scolded for stay
ing out. Nor are they going to be
drawn in--in way to hold them
by being coaxed in by artificial Sc
auctions. A good deal of money is
put into the artistic trimmings of
sanctuary service There is no OBJ
lection to the artistic If it is
wrought into the body Of the service
and not availed of simply as so
much millinery put on to make the
service more presentable. The ad
vertising of sensational topics is an
other way the pulpit takes to worry
truth into reluctant hearts of adyer-
tisement-captured congregations.
1t does not hold the people, but it
does cheaper the pulpit and set the
house of God in the same row with
the dry goods stores, millinery shops
and other institutions that put big
headlines advertisements in the news
papers and flaming plaeards in the
front windows We may call the
rank and file of people very goddess,
but they are able to distinguish re-
markedly well between fact and fic-
ton in matters Of religion. | be
Iieve that ninety people out of one
hundred would respect Gods house
if they were sure that it is God s
house more than it is mans. 1t
takes good deal besides pulpit,
a chair loft and spire to make a
church.

Argus Wants to See The Railroad Go

Argus Wants to See The Railroad Go.
The following items are taken from
the Kingwood Argus:
On with the railroad to Morgan
town. Let the iron horse be uncon-
fined and go snorting down Decker's
Greek and scare all the terrapins and
land snappers out Of that sction.
Now let the friends of the road
out in Valley district take off their
coats and keep them off till after the
election on Saturday and duplicate
the big victory for push and enterprise
won by the good people of Morgan
town and Morgan district. Don't be
behind In the onward march for i'm
provement and the development of
our county's resources. Don't vote
against the road because it don't pass
your door or because you have sold
your coal land or have grudge
against some one who favors the road.
Make it solid for the road, and let the
dirt begin to fly at once.

REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, March 27.-Nearly all
stocks made advances to-day, and some
of them were of material proportions.
Various reasons might be assigned FOR
the movement in individual stocks, but
the principal motive for the general
rise apparently was that the steady al
vance OF prices of late had again
aroused the outside public to buy. The
dealings reached nearly one and one
quarter million shares. Aggressive bull
manipulat ton by the leaders of SpScu-
lation had seemingly caused the pub
lie 10 cease waiting for an immediate
opportunity to secure stocks ut Il lower
level The market opened under an inn
petus of higher quotations from Lon
don. and though large realizing con-
tinued pretty steadily until near the
close, when the rate for call money
reached six per cent, leaving the range
for the day from four to six. with the
last loan at five. Quite number of
new higher priced records for stocks
We're made to-day. The strength dis
played on Saturday brought a large
number of commissions house orders to
purchase stock. This caused n pro-
nounced rise at the opening and in
duced the elimination of many short
contracts. The principal activity was
the Flower stocks, there being, for in
stance, $4,000 shares of Federal Steel
sold at the opening, over a range Of i
points, and the stock made n net adj
vance of 63s on reports that the earn
ings were large. Brooklyn Transit rose
