Quoted by DR.. A. c. Hopkins and DR. f. M.
Woods, DR.. Henry M. White, now at the Ope-
quon Church, and for so many years the pastor
of the Loudon Street Church, made an address,
representing the Winchester Presbytery, and
the Rev. w. l.. Seabrook, the Lutheran pastor
spoke for the churches of Winchester Mayor
Robert T. Barton represented the city of Win
chester, and Major Holmes Conrad the Pres
byterians OF Winchester. They were followed
by DIR. A. c. Hopkins and DR.. f. NJ Woods
DIR. Graham responded in grateful and touch
ing address.
DIR. Graham came young man from Prince
ton half century ago, and was ordained and
installed pastor of the Kent Street Presbyte-
rlan Church. Ability and diligence, 6rmness
and gentleness have characterized his ministry,
while piety, prudence and good sense have been
his companions. There are few Christian min
listers who have for so long time continued
such faithful and valuable work for church and
community. He has been richly blessed of
God in his church, in his family, in the city
where he is universally known and loved and
throughout the church.
DR.. Graham has been the Stated Clerk of
Winchester Presbytery for many years, and
there are none that surpass him in eff
cheney. He was Moderator of the Synod of
Virginia in 1873, at Charleston, w. Va and
Moderator of the General Assembly in 1894,
at Nashville. He is now pastor emeritus of
the Presbyterian Church of Winchester being
succeeded in the pastorate by the Rev. Julian S.
Sbey, who is doing jealous and fruitful
work DIR. Graham is probably about seventy
seven years of age, and is vigorous and active
We are all hoping that he has many years be
fore him of comfort and peace until his life is
crowned with the life that has no end.

Fifty Years of Ministry.

WINCHESTER did itself honor in gathering so
affectionately and gratefully about Dr. James
X. Graham in the anniversary exercises last
Sunday The occasion was the fifteth ami
versary Of his ordination to the ministry, which
was on October Q, 1851, by the Presbytery of
Winchester. Other churches were closed in
his honor, and a great assembly filled the
Presbyterian church on Loudon street, embrac-

panied 1t. None of the twelve arrO9ated any
ceremonial state or assumed such social sr-
perlority as is now done in the college of cardi-
nails, or the House of Lords
But to be more specific, we insist that the
government of the church that succeeded the
apostles was the opposite of hierarchy Lo-
cal congregations were organized under the
supervision of elders, called bishops or over
seers from their office, and the general church
was subject to councils representing the whole
The diocesan bishop was unknown. Cardi-
nails and archbshops were not invented AS
far as can possibly learn, a plurality of car
dinal elders governed the church, and the in
dividual officer was as much as possible con
trolled by his associates. In other words, au-
thorty was distributed among many, 50 as to
avoid the danger of personal elevation Fol
lowing the scriptural model, Presbyterans
seek to administer the church by collective
Judgment, and to protect it from the ANNOYANCE
of personal power. The system is contrast
and protest against the magnificent herarchies
that were derived from medieval Europe
The policy of the world maintains certain
inequality of rank as necessary to secure popu-
lar respect for the representation of civil gov
ernment Our republic avoids the ex-
tremes of dynastic display, and presidents and
governors lay aside the pomp affected by
crowned heads; but even we, in the army and
navy, invest officers with distinctive insignia
But all of lis recognize the propriety of CON
forming civil system to republican princi-
pies. We, therefore, insist that the church shall
conform to its scriptural doctrines and avoid
all unnecessary imitation of the world. 1t
would be extremely offensive if the President
and his official associates should appear in pub
lie attended, like the Gar of Russia, by an
obsequious retnue, and embems of ma jesty,
with other significant features of exalted rank
For equal reasons we regard ecclesiastical
pomp as unbecoming in the followers of the
meek and lowly Jesus
We are alarmed at the manifest tendency of
the rtualists of England to return to the usages
of the Church of Rome. This alarm will be
greatly increased if our Anglican brethren in
the United States are found retreatine in the
same direction. it is fair to appeal to the
American public to discountenance such a
spirit, in view of the antagonism Of Rome to
the fundamentals of the gospel and the princi-
pies of free government. Our American in
situations, religious and civil, react upon one
another, and sincere republican patriot ought
by all means, to refrain from indicating, in his
church preferences too much admiration for
arlstocratic usages. Democratic tastes should
prevail i'll church as well as state, and the Cos
pei, which is not le0eley, nevertheless rcbukes
the spirit of the world that fosters everywhere

MAGIC AMUuETS.
Thought to Bring Good Luck to
Their Chinese Owners.

Thought to Bring GOOu Luck 10
Their Chinese Owners.
1t is the desire of every Chnaman's
heart to possess pair of magic brace
lets Arm rings or bracelets are
thought a great deal of in the Celestial
empire. the custom of wearing them
having been handed down from time
immemorial. Usually made of jade
stone. the Chinese arm ring of today
is of one invarable shape. 1t looks
like a large martingale
The Chinese word for jade Is ngOok-
seu and for jade arm ring or bracelet
ngook-ak. The custom in China is to
place the bracelet on a young mans
arm just before the hand stops grow
ing. tight fit is usually secured, and
once placed the amulet arm ring Is
worn throughout life. At death If the
bracelet has proved a lucky one and
if there is son whom it will fit, the
bones in the old mans hand are bro
ken and the bracelet removed.
Many are the marvellous tales told
by the Chinese Of the wonderful quail
ties these amulets possess. There is a
tradition that a certain Chinese EN-
peror who was stricken with paraly-
sis wore upon his forearm a magic
bracelet. which kept life in that mem
Der for many months and allowed him
to make known his desires and DEGREES
by writing. At last. when death
claimed the emperor. something even
more wonderful took place. Dead three
days and lying in state. his body was
being viewed by the priests. The ad-
visibility of removing the bracelet was
being considered. when the hand was
lifted up and gave "A signal which they
interpreted to mean the bracelet

OUR AMBITION
To Send Fifty People
To Buffalo
At OUR OWN EXPENSE
Bids Fair To Be Realized
In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE.
GRAM ambition to send so people to
buffalo at its own expense would be
realized. The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize
the full meaning OF this remarkable
offer.
1t Is probable that all Of our read.
ers have complete understanding of
the conditions OF the contest but in
case they have not it may be we'll to
say that there is no long drawn out
set Of complicated rules and regula-
tionS.
In brief it is as follows: - "For
every subscription Of the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this office certiti-
Gates will be issued in manner SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range CONTEXT; for every
years subscription will be given GER
titicate emitting the person whose
name it contains to 300 votes. for
every renewal for one J. ear 200 .otes
and 'or shorter periods smaller mum.
Der Of votes in proportion according
to the tabulated form below printed.
The person who shall have presented
the largest number Of these votes at
this Office before s p. m, Aug. 10th
will, be given free trip to Buffalo in
the manner above described, that is
free transportation and five days enter
tainment at the AlcaZar Hotel includ-
ing b Jard and room.
The winner of this contest shall
have the privilege OF choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her said person to 60 to Buffalo at
the expense of the TELEGRAM in the
the same way.
But this does not end the affair by
any means The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest in the
same shall come out loser We
therefore make further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside OF the one
who is victorious, who shall by 8
O'Clock p M, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in $4,000 votes will also be
given free trip to Buffalo, including
transportation and board and room al
the Alcazar Hotel for five days during
the Exposition. II there are 50 who
take advantage Of this extraordinary
offer it will please the m snagement of
| the TELEGRAM SO times more than if
there is but one. 1.-THE more the
merrier." Don't say you must stay
at home from the Exposition because
you can It afford to 60. That would
be ridiculous when such an offer as
this one is staring you in the face.
During the series of Quaker Range
contests gwen last winter, The small
est number of votes presented by a
winner was %, 600; the largest was
about 80, 600 L. this oontest you
have TO turn in only 49, to be a
winner, and this means the securing
of the equivalent OF fifty new suoScri-
berS.
The terms at which the SubScrip-
lions to the TELEGRAM may be Sc
cured and the number Of votes which
each subscription stands for is as fol
| lows

because Mr.. Daily was masterful man
and resented anything like interference.
Had he been permitted to introduce the

him the wrong way and aroused every

how that can be sanctifed."
Mr.. Daily reasoned, argued, almost
pleaded; but thought its evidently hurt
the good man to refuse, since he was
greatly attached TO his son in the church,
he still shook his head and at last de-
clared it was a serious matter, and he
would have to bring it to the Bishops
attention. But that was just what Mr..
Daily did not want! Can you not see
