of truth, as we thought, bur was far too
short, only twenty minutes. The time
was being probably spent, why should
be not go ong The audience was fair.
The people were kind and friendly and
the Rector, they say. breaches good SER
mons, TO which we say, amen" IL what
we heard was a fair sample. This was
the church home of many OF the leading
people, whose names occur In the history
OF the section, TO whom we have referred.
We took part of day 10 visit the old
chapel founded and served for many
years by Bishop Meade of the Episcopal
church, located three miles in the country.
IL was erected early in the Nineteenth
Century, built of stone and bears the
imprint of that early time as to style and
plan. There was the high pulpit in the
end with railing around il. inside of
which the precenter's box stood, and the
organ room to the left, and doors on
three sides of the church, high straight
backed pews etc.
The burying ground was also the
church yard, containing, perhaps, three
to five acres fenced by stone wall.
The most prominent monument was 10
the Confederate soldiers and many
names were inscribed on the stone.
Here and there in the cemetery we read
the names of a Washington, a Randolph,
a Lewis or johnson, names of families
in Virginia history and also in the Reyo-
luton. The Randoiphs were of the John
Randolph family of Roanoke. John
Randolph was a true patriot and, the
writer thinks, he would not think feel at
home among those who sought to destroy
the government which he so earnestly
sought TO establish. This same John Ran
dolph was large land owner and slave
holder, as we'll. But so tired was he of
the Institution of slavery, that in early
days he purchased lands in western Ohio.
settled his negroes upon them and gave
them their freedom, thing which Vir-
ginia law would not permit within her
bounds. He would not sell his slaves to
the far South and the only way he could
free himself from guilt was to take them
into free State where they could make
homes for themselves"

A Visit TO Grace Episcopal Church

The following interesting letter
constitutes portion of the Edi-
torial Correspondence in the Chris
tan Instructor of August s, and
will be found very readable by the
people of this section:
"We told about the old Mansion and
farm Of Nellie Custis in our hast. Come
now on Sabbath morning and we will
take you TO Berryville to Church. The
town has only few hundred inhabitants
and is built mainly along one street run
ming east and west, r. r. derot at east
end. But great men have trodden that
street, Washingtons. Lewises, Custises.
General Lee, Sheridan and others with
their armies, once trod that street and
camped close by with their armies and
stained its soil, 10, with fratricidal blood.
1t almost seemed as if We could hear that
blood crying yet from the ground against
those whoever they were that brought
about the uncalled for war. Oh the
oceans of such blood that has been shed
in this wicked world since its foundation,
But now all is peace in Berryville and we
60 there TO worship Him who through
all the Garth turns war into peace.
I'VE are late. The town has Sabbath
stiffness in it. There is no church of
our own denomination there so we 90
with our hostess, who is member there
and her husband belongs to the choir. to
the Episcopal church. fearing, however,
that we would not know tho manner of
the worship there, and so it turned out.
We could not tell when to stand up and
when to sit down, when to sing and when
to refrein from singing, when to pray
and when to stop praying. But our kind
hostess had assured US that we need not
conform to their ways unless we saw fit.
and this was great relief. So we lust
sat like heather that don't know the
manner Of Christian worship.
"Of course, we could not blame those
good people, for they have have the same
right with ourselves to Judge for them
selves what service God requires of them.
wen, the services had begun when
we entered and took our seats. The ros.
trum had four reading desks upon It and.
OF course. there was an organ and trained
choir. The rector read awhile at one
desk and prayed at another and announc-
ed the hymn at another and thus kept up
the variety. The choir would sing and
the soloist would sing and the congrega.
ton would join in the singing and read
Ing at times In turn After about forty
minutes of this service, the Rector took
his text from Jonah where il is said that
prophet went TO Niuevah at the Lords
bidding and preached We listened 10
hear about Jonah not being an inspired
book and all that, but there was no,<oue
woid OF that kind Of nonsense. The
preacher just went straigh, forward, as
IL he believed every word of the entire
book. SO We communed very cordially
with him in that service, and We were
impressed more than ever with the duty
OF conforming To the word of the Lord
Just as IL Is, ~ The preacher said yerv
we should do owe thought
we had hone right in not con Informing 10
all the forms OF services for which we
could see no thus saith the Lord"
