Dr.. Wharton Installed.

DIR. T. A. Wharton, who has been
the temporal charge at the First Pres
byterian church for the past year, was
installed regular pastor sunday
morning. Rev. Mr.. Brown of Lynn
vile, was in charge OF the services
which were unusually impressive.
Practically every seat in the handsome
church was taken when the services
began, many visitors from other con-
gregations peing present.
. Rev. Brown of Lynnvllle preached
an earnest, eloquent sermon from the
first clause of the eighth verse OF the
first chapter of Acts-''But ye shall
receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you.
The preacher chief effort was to show
the absolute necessity OF the power OF
Christ as we'll as the spirit OF Christ
In the church. The Apostles he SAID
possessed this power and saved thous-
ands. The church and the people
possessing wholesouled consecrated
power can be of untold benefit today.
God works through man and man
must be on fire with His mission.
After the sermon, Rev. johnson OF
Fayetteville, from the temporal, social
and spiritual standpoints gave the
nastor much wise counsel, charging
him to keep an earnest, vigilant watch
over his flock, never fearing to tell
them of their wrong doings. Then,
Hon. 2. w. Ewing of Pulaski, deliv-
cred the charge to the membership
if his injunctions all be remembered
and obeyed. doubtless things would
sswork out for us far more exceedind
and eternal weight of glory"

latter's frantic efforts to get a light.

In Thackeray's case the justification
of artificial names, if it be right to
speak Of justification, lies in this, that
with all the solid reality of the life por-
trayed we are never allowed to lose
sight of the author and his art in por-
traiture. He is ever at hand to under
line the snobbery or laugh off the pa
thos. There is a strong strain Of the
satirist in him, and satire is akin to al
legory. There is even a strain of the
caricaturist ready to emerge in the
midst of his noblest art.
He is especially fond of putting on
the airs and graces of the Snowman.
His preface to vanity Fair" is headed
Before the Curtain" and this great
novel Of real life concludes with Come,
children, let us shut up the box and
the puppets, for our play is played
cut" And we accept Thackeray's
showman's humor.-B lackwoods Mag

FOx,s W.T..

The following is one of the many
stories told about Charles James Fox,
the English statesman and orator:
Mr.. Hare, envoy to the court Of Po-
land occupied rooms in the statesman's
"diggings." He was a great personal
friend and indeed a man of very sim
liar tastes. They were each the OBJ
jects of continual inquiry on the part
of tradesmen and others. One day
Fox, looking out of the upper window,
deserted two men watching the house
and waiting. With a genial smile, he
shouted, pray, gentlemen, will you tell
me, are you Fox hunting or Hare hunt
ing today?"
The bailifs were so tickled that they
went away.

The now disreputable amusement of
cockfghting, which was once respec-
table enough to divide with scholar
ship and archery the attention of
Roger Ascham, has provided the Ian
guage with "crestfalien," lin high
feather" and Shakespeare's "over-
crow" (cf. to crow over). TO show the
white feather" is from the same
source, since white feathers in a game
cocks tail are Il sign of. impure breed
ing. Often the origin of such words
or phrases has been quite forgotten,
but when traced discloses their true
character at once. Fair play" is still
recognized as a figure from gambling,
but foul play" now specialized to
murder" is hardly felt as a metaphor
