impressive service sunday as the First
Presbyterian Church-New Pastor
~succceeds the Rev.. DR.. Hoge and has
Made . Deep Impression.

The Rev. DR.. ]. NJ Wells. Ph. D., the
new pastor OF the First Presbyterian
church, who succeeds the able DR..
Peyton II. Hoge, was impressively in
stalled at the services on Sunday MORN
ing at IL O'Clock. A very large ON
gregation attended and was deeply in
terested in the ceremonies.
The installation ceremonies were on
Quoted by the commission recently ap-
pointed for that purpose by Whining
ton Pr~esbytery. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. d. P. McGeachy,
Of Burgaw. and it was a mastery eff
fort. his text being, But seek We first
the Kingdom Of God and His Right
~eousness. and all these things shall be
added unto YOU" 1t was a very inter-
esting and appropriate sermon and
made a deep impression upon the peo-
pie. When he concluded his discourse
he that in accordance with
h action of Presbytery the commits
sion would proceed to install DR.. Wells
as pastor OF the church, He then pro-
pounded the constitutional questions 10
DR.. Wells n the congregation, and
they were answered in the regular form
by each. the congregation replying that
it accepted DR.. Wells as its pastor.
The charge to the pastor was then
impresssively delivered by the Rev. E.
IL. NNAA~ poSNOA u
rian church. His charge was by way
of profound advice to the pastor as to
his duties and n thing he reminded
the new pastor to do was to look close
ly to the young men, at it is upon them
that the future of the church depends.
Following Mr.. Lane. the charge to
the congregation was delivered by the
Rev. r. Murphy Williams, OF Wallace.
His was an impressive charge to the
people as to their duties towards the
pastor in upholding him in the faithful
discharge of his duty. One of their
principal duties is to attend the services
regularly and by all means in their
power assist and encourage him and
uphold him in his work for the Lord.
The church was then formally turned
over to DR.. Wells and he accepted the
charge. He has been here only a short
while but mas made a fine impression.
The music on the occasion was very
fine and was exceedingly enjoyable.
A beautiful offertory was sung by
Mrs. w. l.. Latta, and the hymns were
most effectively rendered by the eX-
cellent choir.
