The clergyman's article in this weeks
issue is contributed by Rev. 5. {. Wasson
pastor of Churchvillc Presbyterian
Church In the past we have been having
these articles set up in a distinctive type
but as there has been complaint about
the face being so small it has been
changed to a larger size. Each week
brings additional evidence that these
articles are being very much appreciated
by our readers. 1t should be borne in
mind that they are not sermons, but
original articles which have been especial
ly prepared for publication i'll the --Egis.

at seeing the noble gift of the handsome

We are i'll receipt of communication
from the Maryland Christian Endeavnr
Union with reference to the recent iluke !
in regard to the annual convention which |
was hoped would be held i'll Bel Air. We |
are compelled to omit the same on account |
of lack of space. The main objection Of |
| fered in explanation for not bringing Tie |
convention here is the action of the Rail |
road Company. As we said last week
we think that the Railroad Company
made a very fair offer, and it is hard for
the people of Bel Air who were very much
in earnest in their motives in trying to
get the convention here, to sincerely nc
cept the explanation.
