The New Pastor.

At the congregational meeting
of the Presbyterian Church on
Wednesday night DR.. Harley j.
Steward was UNANIMOUSLY elected
pastor. AS is we'll known he has
been acting as a "yearly supply"
at his own request, but he is now
to be the regular pastor of the
church. This will be DR.. Stewards
third pastorate, he having spent
eight years at the Presbyterian
church, Newport, KY, and eight
years at Westminster Presbyterian
church, Cincinnati, which he left
in order to be nearer Mrs. Stewards
father, Senator A. w. Glazier, who
Is paraiyzed.
While DIR. Steward has had sew
eral opportunities since coming to
Logan, to 60 to larger churchs, he
likes Logan and feels that there is
a good work in this cultured and
attractive city. The church was
discouraged before he came and
the work on the new church build.
ing had stopped, but new life has
begun, new members have been
added, and the magnificent church
l-one of the finest in the state will
be ready for use next month
Carpenters are hard at work, and
the work of frescOing which was
not thought of few months ago
has already made the church ar
object of great beauty.
AT the regular morning service
last Sunday the entire cOngrega
tion arose and expressed by thei
vote their desire to have him &C
cept the call as pastor.
We most heartily welcome DIR
Steward permanently to our towl
and bespeak for himland his charg,
abundance of success.

Happy Time at the childreus Home.
Ed. OHIO DEMOCRAT:

Ed. OHIO DEMOCRAT:
We desire in behalf of the child
rem at the home to express our
gratitude through the columns Of
your paper to the good people Of
Logan for the donations they made
for the children, in the way of gifts
to- make them happy at Christmas,
and to Master Joe Case all honor
due him, who so kindly gave up
the pleasure Of u Cnristmas tree In
order that these little homeless
children should be remembered.
Joe surely ught to have his name
imp essed in the hearts Cf these
little children for his self-denying
acts of kindness. On Christmas
1898, Joe suggested to his parents
that they give the tree that would
have been made for him, to the
children in the home. Aud he al.
so did the same on Christmas 1899
We hope the good spirit that has
been instilled in his mind may still
grow, and he may be the means OF
making many more homeless peo-
pie happy.
AT IL A. M. on Dec "a II number
of the good people of Logan came
/ f,, hn a t.,f,
tree. (Which was successfully done.)
The following are the names Of per-
sons who aided in the work: Mrs.
f. 8. Case and son Joe, Mrs. Nor.
gan and daughter Myrtle, Miss
Stinchfield, Mrs. Indy, Miss
Smith and Freda Armstrong. Work
begun Immediately, and soon a tree
was decorated which was a beauti-
full sight to the eye. After it was
completed the children were usher
ed to the parlor to see this beauti-
full Christmas tree, and judging
from the rapture of their faces they
were highly pleased with this bene-
VIOLENT gift, how their little tongues
did chatter while looking on this
lovely tree and the gifts that were
on for each child.
After leaving the parlor all re-
paired to the school room where
they were entertained by the chill
dren for a short time in the way of
Recitations, Songs, etc, then Joe
gave them a nice Recitation, which
he rendered nicely, and was appre-
ciated by all present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kellar and all en-
ployed in these institutions feel it
their duty to thank those people
who kindly aided in this WORK, and
it will bear repetition TO thank Joe
for the self-denial on his part, and
hope all may see many more happy
times In years to come.

A Good Company.

The Irene Taylor Company is
appearing this week at the Rey-
nolds opera house. "Forget-me-
not" was produced on Monday
night, the old time favorite, "East
Lynne" on Tuesday night, and
other productions of a standard
character are promised for the re-
naming evenings of the week.
Irene Taylor, the leading lady of
the company, showed herself to be
an emotional actress of great vers-
atility in the title role of "Forget-
me-not." The part called for the
portrayal of an adventures de-
manding admission into society,
with the threat that If exposed she
would create scandal in a home
which she had made herself an un.
welcome guest. The usaaI hand
some hero and blood-thirsty
Corsican thwarted her plans, Civ.
ing Miss Taylor chance to very
cleverly portray penitence. Mr.
Drew, Miss Hatton and Miss Stan
ley, other members of the company
played their parts well and earned
applause frequently.
Between the acts the Two Deel
introduced interesting songs ant
lively dances. Master Willie Fore
man did some clever buck ant
wing dancing. They will alter tn,
character of their specialties eacl
evening.

Hooking Valley and Ohio Central Con-
sOlidated.

1t was stated on good authority to-
day that large holders of stock of the
Hooking Valley Railroad Company,
including some who are also inter-
ested in the securities of other rail-
roads (notably the Chesapeake and
Ohio and the Erie) have acquired a
controlling interest in the Toledo and
Ohio Central Railroad company.
Through an arrangement made with
the majority stockholders of the To-
ledo and Ohio Central, the minority
stockholders of that company will be
given an opportunity, if they so de-
sire, of selling their holdings on pre-
cisely the same terms as those ac-
cepted by the majority holders; and
in due course of time they will be
notified of the details of the transact
ion, and be given an opportunity to
come IN.
The two properties will not be con-
solidated: they will be operated sep
erately, and seperate corporate or
ganizations will be maintained; but
naturally as a result Of the transact
ion harmony and economy in oper-
alton will be arrived at; aud while
they will continue as rivals in busi-
ness, illegal discrimination undoubt-
edly will be obviated. The result OF
the transaction must be extremely
beneficial to the Hooking mining
district. 1t will insure larger out
put from the mines. and an increas.
ed and more permanent employ
ment for the coal miners of Ohio. IL
will enable the important mining in
terests Of this district to be maintain.

other states. The apparent close
connection of the Erie and Chesa.
peake and Ohio with the transaction
is Significant. but all tends in the
direction of increased business fol

Clear the Mists.
Detroit Free Press.


Dwight l.. Moody, the great evan
gelist passed into the beyond with
an exclamation of triumph and full
fllment upon his lips. Il see earth
receding," he exclaimed with much
joyousness, "heaven is opening;
God is calling me-"
This is as near as finite beings ever
come to receiving message from
one who has finished with the world.
1t will satisfy the strong in the
faith as confirmatory of all that the
wonderful Moody preached on earth.
To such the last testimonial of the
powerful revivalist will signify the
coming of the glory of the Lord.
AS to these who honestly doubt or
seriously disbeleve-how enlighten-
ing would be word from Moody in
the other world! How quickly it
would clear the mists and sweep
away uncertainty and questioning
On the further shore either Inger-
soil or Moody is saying, rs it not as
/ told you?n What If the world
could be told which one has the
victory!
1t would be supremely interesting
but, perhaps, on the whole, far from
wise or wholesome. 1t would be fa-
tai to investigation and would leave
faith without exercise. If such evil
dence were given, hope would lose
its fascination and aspiration would
grow sluggish. Indeed, we would
not have the voice of Moody call
ing to trustfulness and constancy in
spiritual things, for the world would
be convinced and would have no
need of exposition or eXhortation.
