Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1901-04-11
Among the Churches.

The regular communion service was
held in the Lutheran church last Sun
day morning and nine new members
were received. The music included
an Easter anthem by the choir and a
solo by NJ. E. Spohn. An unusually
attractive service was held at night
and enjoyed by large congregation.
Besides an able sermon by the pastor,
there was a musical programme well
rendered by the new and enlarged
choir. Miss Georgia Nelson, of Bal
timore, rendered exquisitely soprano
solo, 1.-THE Victory of the Cross, and
we think her singing has never been
eycelled in Shepherdstown. The male
quartstte also sang a selection and the
choir an anthem. The music was
spirited throughout and greatly en-
joyed by the congregation. Mr.. J.
D. Muldoon has accepted the position
of leader for the choir.
Rev. A. A. P. Neel, of this place,
who has not been in the regular min
istry for several years, has been as
signed to charge at Gainsboro, Fred
erick county, Va, by the Southern
Methodist Conference, in session the
past week at Roanoke. Mr.. Neel
is an able preacher, and though get
ting on the shady side of life is man
of untiring energy. We hope he may
have many years of usefulness ahead
of him.
Rev. L. R. Dyott, late Of the Meth
odist Protestant Church, now Of the
Congregational, has accepted call to
the pastorate of Lee Avenue Congre-
gational Church, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
at salary of $4,000 DR.. Dyott mar
ried daughter of the late S. '. Yam
lis and was for three years pastor of
the NJ. P. Church Of Harper's Ferry.
We are glad to note that Rev. W.
I. Dice, of the NJ E. Church, and Rev.
]. c. Thrasher, of the NJ. E. Church
South, have been returned to Shep-
herdstown for another year by their
respective conferences. Both are
