July 17:-Yesterday was a
bright and lovely day. The two
congregations here were united in
celebrating the Lords supper in
the stoue church, the pastor being
assisted by Rev. James Ballagh,
who has just returned with his
wife from japan to once more visit
their native land. These aged
servants of the Lord have grown
quite gray in the service as mis-
sionaries, but are still active and
we'll preserved for their advanced
age.
A special collection was taken
up Sunday at the Presbyterian
church in order to liquidate the
improvement debt, and the sum of
$3.50 wassrealized. The pastor,
Rev. j. A. Trostle, announced
that the entire cost of the improve.
ment, which amounted to $4,000,
had been met in full, leaving the
church free from debt.
Mr.. Roy d. Thompson of the
McDonogh School, Md, Mr.. Fred
A. Thompson of Waverly, Va,
and Miss FloY Thompson of Rich

shades Of their native heath on a
short vacation.
We would not forget to remind
his many friends, that Rev. ID. p.
Neil still languishes upon a bed
of infrmitY, striving with Christ
tian fortitude, to bear up under
his Affections.
We have had abundance of rain
and farmers have had much
trouble trying to save their hay |

various sections of the county we
find much wheat and hay exposed
to the weather. But we trust the
clouds have at lsst rolled by and
the weather has assumed a normal

Rev. J. o. Knott at Arlington
Last Sunday


Mondays Baltimore Sun says
Rev. John o. Knott of Lexington,
Va, formerly pastor of Emmanuel
Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and also at Arlington,
preached yesterday morning at
the Arlington church on Chow
Two Men Defeated an Army"
taking as a text II ChTon., xxi.
90: "For this cause Hezekiah the
King and the Prophet Isaiah pray
ed and cried to heaven" Rev. Mr..
Knott said, among other things:
"In answer to the prayers Of
two men, the Assyrian army under
Sennacharib met one of the most
signal defeats We read of in all
history. Had we been ON the
ground and witnessed the disaster
we might have seen 70 more Of a
miracle than was lately witnessed
in the Far East in the naval COM
bat which overthrow Russia.
"Men should not hesitate to pray
because their own lives have not
been faultless. Hezekiah had not
been above mistakes. He had been
rash and might have taken the
Assyrian invasion as a judgmenG
upon him for his disobedience of
the prophet. His life had been
like that of a river whose main
direction no one doubts, but whose
local zigzags are often at variance
with it's general trend. If men
expect to have power in prayer
the current of life must move con-
sistently Godward, but allowance
will be made for local inconsistent
cies.
"The means which God would
employ to overthrow the Assyrians
was not revealed to those who
prayed. ALI that was promised
was that the defect would be ae-
complished. We do we'll to leave
God to work out our deliveIance
in His own way. His resources
are infinite and He seldom deals
with two men or two emergencies
in the same way.
"Likely, the means He used to
overthrow Sennacharib was a
pestilence, such as the borders Of
Egypt might naturally breed. We
err very often in failing to see
Gods hand in the happenings Of
today, because we think a physi-
clans skill, timely counsel or our
own happy suggestions as to what
course to pursue will explain all.
Discerning men are fast coming to
see that God is in our time no
farther removed from the affairs
If this world than in the faraway
lays of Hezekiah. He waits today
or faithful men to ask what
Ikeptics say is the impossible, and
n answer to such requests
'stonishes the world by mighty

,eated Byron's celebrated lines,
