anneared Roberts deliberately fired
and killed him. The cause OF the
deed has not been learned.

woman and told to keep away but
when the sheriff continued to ad-
vance both she and her husband
opened fire. Mooney was shot by

of this to barricade the house. They
defended the building for hours.
When the firing from within the
house ceased the door was broken
down. Mrs. Roberts, suffering from
IA wounds, was dying and her condi-
ton was such that no attempt was
made to remove her to jail Roberts
and the wounded officers were taken
to Mountain Home, Ark.

ROCKVILLE, Md, october 16, 1905.
Rockville's handsome new Baptist
Church, which has just been completed,
was dedicated last Sunday in the pres
ence of a large gathering of members Of
the denomination and others from all
sections of the county. Special services
were held during the day under the d.
rection of Rev. Thomas H. Campbell.
pastor Of the church.
The exercises began with a song serv-
ice conducted by Prof. Percy S. Foster
of Washington. following which the ded-
icatory sermon was preached by Rev DR..
Weston Bruner pastor of the Fifth
Baptist Church of Washington. In the
afternoon addresses were made by the
pastor and by Revs. S. r. White Of
Rockville and w. S. O. Thomas of Falls
church. Mr.. White outlined the history
of the church from its organization in
1921 to the present time. Remarks were
also made by the pastors of the other
Packard. rector of Christ Episcopal
Church; Rev. Ernest l.. Wolfe Of the
Southern Methodist Church and Rev. A.
w. Shaw of the Presbyterian Church
DR.. E. 3. Hatcher of Baltimore occupied
the pulpit in the evening, preaching to
large congregation.
A feature of the service was the music
by large choir under direction of Mr.
Foster. The ladies Of the congregation
served luncheon and supper in the BAN
quet hall of the church, about 800 being
entertained.
During the day about $500 was raised
to help pay off the small indebtedness,
leaving only about 81 800 unpaid.
The new church is handsome struc-
ture. and with the lot cost over 10000.

1t is of stone and brick, and gothic in
architecture. The entrance is on the cor
ner To the rear of the main auditorium
Is a large Sunday school room, and in
the basement are a banquet hall, kitch-
en-, boiler room and other conveniences.
The building is heated with steam and
lighted by gas.
The congregation was organized Octo-
Der 20, 1921, and was first known as the
Bethel Baptist Church of Montgomery
county. Its members were persons who
withdrew from the Old Seneca Church be-
cause of the anti-mission views held by
the pastor. Rev. Plummer Waters. A
tablet of marble to the memory of Rev.
Joseph II. Jones. first pastor of the
church. and father of Col. Spencer C..
Jones of this town. and to the other con-
stituent members, occupies conspicuous
place in the new church.
Immediately upon its organization Rev
Joseph II. Jones was called as its first
pastor and served until 1915. Later other
members of the Old Seneca Church joined
and the membership grew steadily. The
records show that among the members
were many colored servants, held as
slaves by some of the leading families Of
the county.
Other pastors Of the church have been

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to DR.. Gilbert. 1903 r street. this
city, and receive answer in The Star.
404. Please explain Lamech's speech to
his wives. Gen, iy:23-24)
Answer.-Scholars are in doubt whether
Lamech had actually slain man, whose
name is unrecorded, or whether he was.
contemplating such deed. The latter is
probable. His words may be properly
translated. Il would slay a man. so
printed in the margin of our Bibles. He
was considering what punishment would
be meted out to him II he should commit
homicide, as he was prompted to do. and
he was led to such reflections by the fate
of Cain. This Interpretation gives full
meaning and force to the passage more
than any other Interpretation.
4O5. What Is the meaning Of Ezekiel,
xxiv:15-1S?
Answer.-This is part of a vision tsee

unless the whole chapter Is taken, show.

more space than can be allowed here.
