SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES.
Subjects of The Sermons of The
Pastors In Places of
Worship.

| The churches were all well attend
ed yesterday. The bright sunshine and
bracing air brought the good people
out and the attendance at the servi-
ces in their respective places of wor-
ship was unusually good.
At the morning service of College
| Avenue Baptist Church, held at the
Assembly Rooms, the pastor, the Rev.
| Thomas p. Ho loway, read for the les
son the first chapter of Johns Gospel,
taking the forty fifth and forty-sixth
verses for the basis of his sermon,
viz: "Philip findeth Nathaniel and
sayeth unto him, We have found Him
of whom Moses in the Law and the
Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth,
the son of Joseph, and Nathaniel said
unto him, can any good thing come
out of Natzareth? Philip said unto
him, Come and see.
Upon the last three words of the text
the preacher built a forceful argu-
mentative discourse. He said that
success in church work depended upon
individuality and upon personal ac-
tivity. The pastor urged the necessity
of inviting people to church and sug-
gested that the city use the words of
Philip to Nathaniel, when those outside
the church argued what was the good
of coming to the house of worship
"Come and see" Salvation for the
individual and personal activity in
all church work was the theme of the
discourse, which was able and con-
vincing.
At the Presbyterian Church the pas
tor, the Rev. George S. Bell took for
his text yesterday morning a part of
the thirteenth chapter and twentieth
verse and the fourteenth chatter and
first verse of st. Johns Gospel, his
subject being the first verse of the
fourteenth chapter: Let not our
hearts be troubled; We believe in God
believe also in me" from which the pas
tor preached an able sermon. At the
evening service Mr.. Bell took for
his text the second verse of the third
chapter of Philippians: Beware of
dogs; beware of evil workers; beware
of the concision. Both services
were well attended.
At Maryland Avenue NJ Z. Church,
the Rev. T. E. Peters, pastor, preach
ed the second of series of sermons on
the frailty and weakness of sinful
man. Last Sunday night Mr.. Peters
preached on the subject Lying" and
last night the SUBJECT of the sermon
was Swearing. There was a good
congregation present and the sermon
was full of practical and wholesome
lessons.

ST. anne S.

81 ANNE D.
At the morning service yesterday
the Rev. Henry Emerson Hovey, rec
tor of old st. Johns Portsmouth, N.
H., was the preacher. Portsmouth
and Annapolis are in many respects
alike, both being old English settle
ments, where in Colonial days the
English Church was established and
both being naval stations, with large
naval colony in the town. 1t was a
pleasure to many friends to hear Mr..
Hovey in st. Anne's. His own
church, st. Johns, was the naval
chapel of the British, and the admi
raj of the yard still retains his own
pew by virtue of his Office. .The
preacher took for his text st. Luke
XXI, "a and 27-''There was strife
among them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest. am
among you as one that serveth.
With many apt illustrations, he dis
tinguished between bigness and great
ness, showing how bigness is not
greatness, and then set forth the
greatness of service. 1t was an
Epiphany sermon upon Our Lords
manifestation of divine power in SER
vice and of our manifestation of the
power of discipleship by service. In
the afternoon the rector preached
from the text: Isiah, 60 Il" Arise
shine for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. "
FIRST NJ. E. CHURCH.
In the First NJ. E. Church yester-
day the pastor, Rev. George w. Miller,
preached a most eloquent and able
descriptive sermon ON the text i:
what is thy beloved more than an
other beloved, Oh, thou fairest among
women Songs of Solomon, fifth
chapter, ninth verse. The pastor
said that the songs of Solomon was
mystery to the worldly-mind man,
but to the spiritually minded it was
the grand conception of the church of
love for the beautiful, unparalleled
character of Christ. In the beginning
of the sermon the descriptions and
portraits of Christ in his physical ap-
pearance were discussed in Ia histori-
cal light, which was full Of interest
and information. The first known
portrait of Christ was painted in the
fourth century. All portraits of the
Saviour are ideal, and the preacher
believes that the failure of the gospels
to give description of Christ's per-
sonal appearance was ordained Of God,
in order that the two systems-Greek
and Jewish, should have less offense
to find in Christ's by it, for if he
were, in person, like Jew that
would be offensive to the Greeks, and
if like a Greek in appearance then
that would have been offensive to the
Jew. The lessons were from the forty
fifth Psalm and part of the eighth
chapter Off omans. The hymns were ::
Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned, F"
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" "Of
Him Who Did Salvation Bring. "
When this last hymn was given out
DR.. Miller called attention TO the
fact that this hymn was written by
Roman Catholic. Bernard of Clever
aux and that Catholic and Protest
ants united in singing the same hymns
to God. The hymn was sung with
great fervor by the congregation.

NEW SOCIETIES IN LONDON

One Fights Demon Solemnity. the
Other Introduces Lady Bachelors.
Two remarkable societies have been
formed in London, says u cable dis
patch to the New York World.
One. which calls itself THE Dancers"
is intended to flight the high and pow
erful devil solemnity." The members
meet weekly, dressed in classic cos
tunes, and dance %rollicking measures
of all times. the music and the dances
being unearthed from the British mu-
Seum
The principal promoters Of this fell
lowship are artistic people. Up to, now
the dancers have provided more fun
for outsiders than for themselves. The
prime mover is Miss Florence Farr, q
clever actress, who formerly deepened
London's natural gloom by playing
leading parts in Ibsen plays.
The other society's object is to abol-
ish the term sspinster." Spinster, II
thinks, somehow implies scraggy an
tiquity, and today's unmarried women
want to be known as 'lady bachelors
It is agitating for removing the word
~~spinster" from the dictionaries and
substituting lady bachelor in all lie.

Low Ridge. For Potatoes.

At the Arkansas experiment station
the highest yield of merchantable pota-
toes was secured with ridges three
inches high. The same method also
gave the smallest per cent of culls. Ex-
pert potato growers no longer pile the
earth up to the plants in ridges six
inches above the bottom of the furrow
by the side of it. 1t is held by some
that level culture is even better than
three inch ridges. The land should be
deeply plowed, and deep burrows
should be made in the level ground
and the. seed deposited at the bottom
Of the furrow. Then, when covered,
the ground will be level and the seed
covered to a sufficient depth. After
this frequent shallow cultivation is all
that is needed. as it retains moisture
and destroys the weeds.

One of the longest fences in the

In the central portion of South Dakota,
says the Kansas City Journal. This
remarkable fence will be sixty-three
miles in length. 1t is composed Of four
wires placed or posts set a rod apart,
cedar and ash posts alternating. In its
construction $50 miles of wire will be
used, or 10000 pounds. To erect the
fence required an aggregate Of 10000
posts. In this long fence there will be
only three gateways. which will be
guarded when the fence is completed.
The fence is being constructed by the

A Few Reminders.

Don't quarrel with the weather.
Don't think ''any old way is all
right; it isn't.
The best cure for cracked hands dur
ing cold weather is prevention. Wear
leather gloves when doing outside work.
Frozen grass contains but little nour-
ishment. 1t is filling, but animals won't
grow fat on it. Give them a feed at the
barn on good hay and grain before
turning them out for exercise.
One of the crying needs Of the aver
age farmer is to provide waterproof re-
ceptacles for both liquid and solid ma
nure. See that every particle possible
of manure is saved and stored for time
Of use.
Replace every bolt on the carriage
that has been broken. Also it is wise to
replace all the nuts that have ratified
from the carriage and wagon bolts, the
sleighs and the bobsleds. The mar who
keeps a stock of such nuts and bolts to
go with them is sensible.

MINISTER'S AND CHURCHES.

MethOd1st Pastor Says Latter Are
Luxuries and Clergymen Parasites.
These are the principles laid down by
David Morgan. Methodist clergyman,
city missionary and Methodist leader,
during a discussion at the Hamline
(Minn.)' Six O'clock club the other after
noon, says a st. Paul (Minn.) dispatch
to the Chicago Tribune:
ministers Of the gospel are para
mites.
Religion and the church are luxu-
ries.
Teachers and professors are leeches.
SCHOOLS and universities are nones-
sentials.
Society can exist without churches
and without schools" said the Rev. Mr..
Morgan during a point in the debate,
ut having been founded before either
existed.
you are a parasite on society,"" he
said to Professor r. w. Cooper. a pro-
fessor Of English literature in the Ham
line university, who refuted his argu-
ment.
II may say the same of you.'' replied
the professor.
II acknowledge It." said Morgan. Il
am a parasite on society. All ministers
are parasites"
"Your gospel leaves out the SOUL" re-
piled the professor. #
Society is not made up of SOULS" re-
piled Morgan. 1.-The world can get
along without the church. Religion is a
luxury that people may have if they
wish to pay for it. do not believe in
! forcing all citizens TO pay for it if they
do not want it."
"Your creed is founded on %selishness.
| It is theorized %selfishness and cannot
stand" replied Cooper. ut leaves nan
with the beasts, and l speak with you
not to argue. but to tell you of your
mistake"
Morgan was still a~rgumentative when
Professor Cooper declined to carry the
I discussion further. Hamline residents
who heard the argument were astound-
ed at the position taken by the Rev.
Mr.. Morgan, who is regarded as n OF
the most influential ministers of the
Methodist creed in Minnesota. They
are wondering what next?"

when to Haul Out Manure.

The old question of the best season
for hauling out is of more I'M
portance to many farmers than the
building Of the Panama canal. 1t is
hard for some men to believe that the
manure is safe outside of the b%arnyard.
Such men leave it there and crowd all
the work of hauling into the spring sea-
son, when other work is pressing. They
would get just as much out Of their
n and do the work of hauling
cheaper If they would haul every day
or week as fast as a load is ready. On
a level sod manure can safely be spread
at any time. Even on a slope the ma
nure can be left in piles through the
winter with little if any loss. 1t is good
economy to get this part of the ..spring
nork" done before spring opens.-Ru-
