Sunday was communion day at
the First Methodist church, and large
congregation was present to greet Rev
A. Z. McFerrin on the first Sabbath
of the new conference year. Prelimi
nary to the service, Mr.. McFerrin
made an interesting and impressive
talk. He spoke of his long stay with
this congregation, this being his sixth
year with them; of the many kind
nesses and courtesies that had been
extended TO him and his, and especially
of the tender services bestowed upon
them during their recent sorrow and
affliction. After this TALK, he called
the Board of Stewards around the
chancel and counseled them upon the
responsibility of their work, and asked
the church to look upon the Board as
the servants of the church, and to re-
ceive them kindly in this relation.
The preacher, the stewards and their
wives filled the first table at the com
munion service, which was followed
by large number of communicates.
Miss Ida Lipscomb sang beautiful
solo, Lead me, Oh Father. and her
beautiful voice was never in better
tone. Miss Mary Dale Figuers played
the violin obligota to the solo. Owing
TO the inclement weather and the
smallness of the congregation, Mr.. Nc
Ferrin held no services at night, but
adjourned with his members to the
First Presbyterian church to hear Rev.
e. b. Hunter.

| Synod in Lebanon last week, the New
Theology was discussed by Rev. W.
A. Provine. Speaking of his address,
the Nashville correspondent to the
American says: The address was
eminently worthy of the gentleman
who delivered it. 1t was sweetly
spiritual well received and highly APP.
preciated by those who heard it. II
ought to help quiet the fears of those
who feel that modern tendencies wolld
turn topsy-turvy all that is dear in oul
old systems, and leave us with no com.

A Lexington paper says; THE con-
gregation of Christ Church Cathedral
has raised the salary of Dean Lee to
$3, 800 which is a well-deserved toke1
of respect and admiration from the
congregation. Considering the short
time that Dean Lee has been in the
city, it certainly is fattering to his
personality to note the number OF
friends he has made, both in his con
gregatiOn and outside of his church
1t is to be hoped that he will long re
main in this city, as his departure
would be greatly regretted by large
circle of friends.
