sketch of the Clergyman Who is to succeed

sketch of the Ilsrgy man Who is to succeed
DR. Haker ns Pastor of Grace Church.
The Rev. William Writ King, who
will succeed the Rev. Henry Baker, d.
d., as pastor Of Grace Methodist Epis-
copal Church, this city, is now pastor
Of the Lindell Avenue Church, st.
Louis, Mo-, where he is finishing his
fifth year of service. DIR. King was
horn in Virginia 10 1862 and was the
son of a Methodist preacher, When a
boy. he went to West Virginia, and
afterwards made that his home. After
attending the State Normal School of
West Virginia, he went to the Ohio
Wesleyan University. For six years he
was a tencher. He took post graduate
work and post graduate degree Of
Doctor OF Philosophy in the Illinois
Wesley an University. He received the
honorary degree Of Doctor of Divinity
from McKendree University.
AT the ;;ge of 10, Mr.. King began to
preach. He bas served Charges in West
Virginia, Ohio, indiana and Missouri.
For four years he was pastor OF the
First Church, HUNTINGTON, w. Va, ,and
built the church. From there ho went
to Trinity Church, La Fayette, Ind. i,
one OF tho largest churches in that
State, and thence no went to Lindell
Avenue Church, st. Louis.
When he took up the work there, the
congregation had simply chapel; now
it has $40, 600 parsonage and an audi
torium costing 100000, and both OF
them paid for The church property is
one of the best in the Methodist de-
nomination west of the Ohio River.
Under DR.. Kings pastorate, the men,
bership of the church lhas more than
doubled. r.
With such record as this, DR.. Kings
pastorate at Grace Church SHOULD prove
most PROSPEROUS.

Weather Bureau official at Hatteras. N.
c., reports that the two mast schooner
Lizzie James, Capt. George Howard,

York, went ashore early this morning
on Hatteras Inlet Bar, during heavy
noltherly gale. She carried q crew of
six men, and Is about ITO tons burden.
The lifesaving crews have not yet
heen able to board her, on account of
the heavy northerly gale, and besides

near freezing. The lifesaving crews
from both the Hatteras and Ocracoke
lifesaving stations are Mt the scene OF
the wreck with lifeboats, waiting to
board at the first opportunity. The
vessel is apparently lying easy.

MOTHERLY ADVICE.
How to Wash the Baby.

As rule babies should be washed by
hand. Machine-washed babies do not
mature so rapidly, and being rubbed on
a dashboard is likely 10 wear holes in
the baby.
The baby should be put to soak over
night in Iuke-warm water in which has
been dissolved handful Of pearline.
This takes the place Of the old fashioned
way of leaving him in a wash-boiler on
the stove for three or four hours, and
caves much labor.
In the morning, after rinsing in three
waters, add little ball blue to the last
and pass the baby quickly through it.
Too much bluing is apt to give the
baby faded look.
We do not think that babies should
be put through the wringer too soon
after washing. Better results are OBJ
tanned by hanging them OF the line at
once. if it be sunny day. Otherwise
they may be hung up before the kitchen
fire. and, when thoroughly dry, starched
and ironed at your convenience.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1900-11-03

Dashaway-I have an idea that Mrs.
Won Blumer invited US to dinner at the

Many young girl who has entered on
her career as a typewriter has, through
ignorance, made mistakes which, il
warned in time, she would have avoided.
Type. writers should invariably be
kind to their employers. 1t must be
remembered that they are men after all,
and that an occasional kind word will do
much to tighten the Cares Of busy day.
You will add brightness to your cur
roundings if every day on your way to
the Office, you stop at the florists and
get dozen or two American Beauties
or couple of punches or VOLTS to
place on your desk. At the close OF the
day you can put flower in your en-
ployer's buttonhole. This is little at
tention which his wife is bound to ap-
preciate.
Always hum tune when at your
work. Iype-writing to rsg-time accom-
paniment is apt to bore your employer.
II he is in the habit of swearing at
your mistakes. do not rebuke him be-
fore the office-boys as it might hurt his
feelings.
Find out when his birthdays occur
and mark the event by giving him
bottle CT champagne or box OF cigars.
An employer always appreciates
thoughtfulness on the part Of his type
writer.
Do no wear decoliete gown in the
Office. You might catch cold, and your
coughing would annoy your employer.
If you bear these little suggestions in
mind, dear girls, you will not only be
successful in your business, but much
happier in your daily life.-Life Bur
leeque in the Home Journal.
