December /, 1908.
The Episcopal Church at Curdsyille
was packed on last Sunday morning
as II usually is whenever the Rev. Dr.
Lacy, Of Blackstone, preached there.
All denominations were represented.
This Jealous, sincere and gifted ser
want Of God was at his best; the words
Of his text were: Take away the
stone" at the grave Of lazarus lie
depicted very wildly the grief Of the
two sisters at Christ's delay seemingly
in not answering their urgent message
to come to their sick brother, but the
delay was intentional to impress the
fact that "man's extremity is Gods
opportunity" and to still further
show his Almighty power even over
death itself. The reverend gentleman
drew picture Of the spirit Of Lazarus
with harp In hand amidst the throng
Of the redeemed, but who at the call
Of Jesus to "come forth Immediately
came to earth and re-entered that de-
composing body to the CONSERVATION
of the crowd who were gathered about
the tomb.
Speaking Of sorrow, and poverty,
and adversely, thereverend gentleman
declared pointedly that prosperity,
the accumulating OF money was the
greatest hindrance to the growth Of
pure and undefled religion in the
hearts Of mankind, aye cannot love
God and mammon."
On the subject Of personal adjoining,
he asked the pointed question of all
his hearers, "pid any one Of you, wo-
man OF man, spend half as much time
this morning in preparing your heart
for the true worship Of God as you did
IN clothing and adjoining the body?n
and no affirmative answer was given.
Taken all in all il was a soul-search-
ing sermon.
Mr. Will Crute was elected a YES
tryman in place Of his father, the late
lamented J. Nick Crute.
Approximately one hundred com
municants partook Of the Sacrament
al the close Of the services.

HapDieSi Boy Located.

We have at last found the happicst
boy in Farmville, and in the person Of
Master Paul Hatcher, who has Just
come in possession of a shapely, friend
~, well-trained goat, and yet this hap
piness is to be added To, for the wagon
aud harness are TO follow, and then
dash out for the triumphal procession
down and up, or up aud down High
street. But out Of the new JOY and
the new experience our young friend
will learn that the roses Of this world
have thorns associated with them, for
this early December token Of love has
been marked as Paul's christmas
gift" and there will be no surprises
for him on the glad morning Our
congratulations and good wishes.
