Cross Blessed by Cardinal Gibbons.
Rev. E. Lawrence Hunt, pastor OF the
Washington Heights Presbyterian
Church, of Washington, who resigned
from that charge some time ago and
whose services to the congregation cease
September l. preached his farewell SER
mon yesterday morning. His sermon
was followed by remarks to little girl,
to whom he presented cross blessed by
Cardinal Gibbons.
In closing, Mr.. Hunt presented Miss
Marie Smith with the cross. Among
other things the minister said
1.-TWO years ago you won a Bible for
learning the catechism, and that in the
shor: SPACE of one month / told You
then from this pulpit, what dlspleased
some, that as you had been baptized IN
the Roman Catholic Church, your moth
er's church, hoped you would, in due
time. be confirmed in that church. |
am Glad to know you have been, and
that YOU are now faithful in your at
tendance there. ] told you that the
word of God is better than our catechism
and ibat when you got the Gospel OF ST.
John by heart | would give you cross
like the one wear on my watch cham.
Though YOU have not yet completed It,
YOU have done so well, ! am sure 1t Will
not be long until you will have 1t all,
and | shall hear YOU recite II when l
next come 10 Washington. But as this
is my by last Sabbath here, am glad to
give YOU this cross today.
al saw Cardinal Gibbons last week,
and told him all the factsin this matter,
and his eminence graciously promised
that if | would send him the cross, he
would bless it. | did so. This will
have an added sacredness and value to
YOU. as a faithful child of that church,
because it has a cardinals blessing. In
my own judgment, too, as Protestant
minister, his blessing means very much
TO you, personally. From my point OF
view, il means that great, good man is
interested 10 you, snd has prayed for
YOU. believe it will help you, beyond
words, to strive by the grace Of Jesus,
TO reach or ideal for you; TO bless your
home, and the circles you move in. But
Cardinal Gibbons blessing of this cross
mas a wider significance. 1t is of inter
est to all. That cardinal of the Ro-
man Catholic Church should bless a
cross given By a minister Of the Presby,
terian Church of Washing gtOn to child
as reward for learning the Gospel OF
st. John out of a Bible given by the
Presbyterian board will do untold good
to the Roman Catholic Church and to
the Presbyterian Church, and to men in
no church. Thank God for the age In
which this is possible" "
Mr.. Hunt then presented the cross.

Indian Language Turkish.

Students of the University OF Cam
peche, capital of the Mexican State ol
the same name, have discovered that
the language of the Indians of CamPeche
and the Turkish language are almost
identical. Turks coming directly from
their country to Mexico find no Difficult
ty in making their wants known to the
Indians of Campeche, and within few
weeks they are able to talk the language
of the Indians huenlly.
Ethnologists of Mexico City have no"
decided to attempt to establish the rela-
tion between The Indians of Campeche
and the TURKS, but it is considered to be
as difficult a problem as that of explain
ing the discovery short time ago at the
same place in the State of Aazaca oi
Egyptian and Chinese idols.

The Ketocton Association.

The Ketocton Association of Regular
Baptis,s concluded its session with Rob
inson River Church at Criglersyille,
Madison county, a week ago.
This association was organized In
!766. l39 years ago, with four churches,
which bad been constituent members OF
the Philadelphia Baptist Association,
the oldest association in America. One
of its churches had been constituted IN
the mother country and had removed,

the early part of the eighteenth century.
One church, originally composing Ke-
tocton Association, Smiths Creek. at
Newmarket, Shenandoah county, Va,
has continued till this day, and was rep
resented at the recent meeting OF that
body at Criglersville. The Philadelph' a
Association was distinguished for Its
gospel mission spirit. Through It's
ministers and the cooperation OF the
membership missionaries were sent to
the far w est and South, and Baptist
missionaries N India, who went from
England in 1892, obtained the cordial
support of that body. At the same time
their children were instructed in the
Scriptures, the Baptist catechism, pre-
pared by Benjamin Reach. being used
as hel p to that end. In 1890 the Ke-
tocton Association was reorganized upon
the original principles, and since then
has been actively engaged in foreign
missionary work.
The recent meeting of Ketocton was
attended by large congregations Ibe
local ministers and a minister from the
West preached and conducted the inter
esting and profitable services.

and for uniformity OF size surpass anything
ever seen in the district. They were Of the
Rolbs Gem variety, and sold straight at so
cents each a the city. Who can equal this :?
Mr.. Jacobs is an expert trucker, and has for
several years stood foremost in the ranks OF
skilled gardeners.
