DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES AT SYNOD

Every Christian body would welcome
any suggestion by which it's devotional
exercises might be improved. Is there
not room and need for Improvement In
the devotional exercises with which the
daily sessions of our Synod are opened?
Is not the same thing true of all our
Church courts from the Presbvterv Tn
the General Assembly? There are sew
eral things which contribute to the de-
cline of these devotions. Breakfast ia
late and the members are hurried. AS
one reaches the church he meets an
old friend whom he has not seen for
a long time and he stops for a greet
ing. Before the necessary things can
be said another joins them, and the
convention is prolonged. Another mem
ber/sees some one whom he must con-
suit on the business of the body. and
this is his only chance to do it, Then
there are some to whom the after break
fast cigar has become a necessity and
this is their only opportunity to enjoy
1t. Some are in meetings of Presbyter-
les or committees. Those meetings had
been appointed for an earlier hour, but
belated breakfast has prevented their
assembling at the appointed time. The
result is that the attendance upon the
devotional exercises is pitiabIy small
and that worship which should be
fountain of inspiration and blessing
for the whole day is conducted In for
NAL and cherries manner, that rather
casts a damper upon the days work.
1t is said that at the last meeting of
the Synod in Richmond a member of an
other denomination, having heard that
the business of Synod would be started
each day with half hour Of devotion
al exercises thought within himself.
What a delightful thing it would be to
see three hundred representative minis
ters and elders of the Presbyterian
Church at their devotional?" He decid
ed to attend next morning. You can
imagine his dismay and his reflections
when he stepped into the church the
next day and saw the dismal sight all

FROM OUR LETTERS.

From Kentucky: Don't get the i'm
preston that everybody in Kentucky is
for organic union!''
From Virginia: 81 hope and pray that
our churches will send enough sensible
commissioners to the next General AS
sembly to lay it on the table, Let well
enough alone!"
FROM Tennessee: 81 certainly enjoy
reading your paper. My heart and veins
are in perfect accord with the sound prin-
ciples which you PROFOUND from time to
time"
FROM Kentucky: II pray Gods bless
ing on your testimony for the distinctive
principles of our Church and your efforts
TO preserve its separate existence"

tered over that large auditorium. while
three or four times as many members
were in the vestibule and on the front
steps, smoking and talking and at times
making noise enough by laughter and
talking to disturb the worship within.
At the last meeting of the Presbytery
of Lexington the moderator was an en-
1nent lawyer. One day he made a
speech to Presbytery urging a fuller at
tendance upon the devotional exercises.
The attendance the next morning was
somewhat improved but there was still
a considerable contingent on the front
steps. When the moderator took the
chair that morning he made a brief,
but most telling speech. He said he
found out that he had been making a
mistake for many years on an impor-
tant matter. All his life he had thought
1T was a very improper thing for gentle
men to stand in the church-yard or on
the church-steps while the worship OF
Coo was going on in the church. But
when he came to Presbytery he found
that Presbyterian ministers and elders
did 1t and therefore it must be right
and all along he had been mistaken. A
minister Of the Synod who has served
IL for more than twenty-five years, and
in very responsible positions, said to me
after the adjournment of Synod last
year, Our devotional exercises are a
reproach to us. You are to be on the
committee on devotional exercises for
the next Synod can't you do something
to remove it," Our committee will
make the effort this year and appeal to
the brethren to help us.
First. If Synod will adopt the recon-
mendations of the committee on pro-
grams to take recess Friday afternoon,
so that all necessary meetings Of Pres
bytery and the bulk of committee WORK
can be attended to, that will greatly
promote the desired end
Second. We will ask the Synod at
the opening session to place the daily
devotional exercises under the control
or our committee instead of requiring
the moderator, who is already overtax-
ed with work, to add that to his mani
fold other duties which require all his
thought. There is really no appropri-
ateness in assigning this duty to the
moderator
Third. If Synod grants this request
we will be prepared to recommend a
brother to lead each days devotions,
who will come to Synod prepared to do
1T, and who will not trust to the in

FACTORY
is BOUGHT

I d..
The Telegram stated the first Of
athe week that the American Snuff
company was negotiating for the
Eve factory here and That the deal
would likely be cpnsQ minated
Thursday word was sent ont from
Parkersburg that the factory had
been closed by The government. This
aFas mistake and the report re-
fected on the business as conducted
.ly Mrs Eye.
7 After her husbands death she ran
the factory very successfully and
1gas making money in the business
as the inventory at closing shows.
THE government, through Collector
lGlasseockss office, only went on the
premises at AIRS. Eyes request, to
legally wind up the business in this
district, preparatory to removal to
the fifth revenue district Of New
Jersey, a firm in that State having
purchased the business and good
viii Of the industry from Mrs, Eye.
This firm evidently thought the
business was on firm. basis and do
ing we'll, for Mrs. Eye got 4 good
price for the same. These parties
have been seeking to gain control of
tn Eve factory for some time. and
finally made an offer for the bust
ness That was thought good enough
to accept. So Deputy Henry Reed
or merely took an inventory of the
plant and made up the necessary pa
pers so that the transfer of the prop
trtv could be legally made.
Mrs. Eye is good business
woman, stands high in the business
world and her record with the de-
partment is a No. j. West Virgin
la is sorry to lose this factory, but
her friends are glad she was able to
close ont her business so satisfac-
