Sunday was distinctiVely a mission
airy day. The monthly Offering was re-
ceived in the Sunday school in the
morning and at the public service, the
exercises were in charge of the Wom-
ans Foreign Missionary Society. Miss

of the work in China. Miss Galloway

physician or trained nurse, she has
been the superintendent of one of the
largest hospitals in the work in China.
touched upon in an interesting way
and much Information was given. The
ladies of the church took their annual
Thank Offering for their work after
the address. 1t amounted to $4,000.
At the Epworth League service in the
evening, Miss Galloway again spoke.
She told in very touching way of her
early life and of her conversion, and
how she came to enter the foreign
work. She interspersed her talk with
Incidents and stories of Chinese life
which made her talk very instructive.
AT the Epworth League service three
new members were received, and this
will bring the total membership of the
league up to about 1865, and more are
still to be received. "A new and novel
plan has been introduced in the Sun
day school which places before the

Friends Church.

The sermon of the morning was on
the theme of Duty as developed from
the text, but woe unto you Pharisees!
for ye 1.-THE mint and rue and every
herb and pass over justice and the love
|of God; but these ought We to have
done and not to leave the other un-
done" luke HAP. Rev. Purdy
through Illustrations presented the two
ideals of glory and duty and showed
how all history was full of examples Of
men whose lives have spelled out that
beautiful word, duty. Chief of these
Is the life of Jesus Christ. Men have
tried to teach that duty lay only
through pleasure, but the great and
noble acts of life have been done be-
cause of duty regardless of pleasure.
Unless state and home and church live
up to their highest ideals because they
Ought to do it in spite of their own de-
sires, the safety of each is threatened.

have been of such a nature-ex-
aggerated, as it was inevitable
they should be-as to cause un-
easlness among the patrons of
the school and it was thought
best to close the school until the
necessary work is done. It is
expected that the work will be
completed in a few days.
At a meeting of the school
board held about noon today.
since the above was written, it
was decided to close the school
for two weeks, during which
time the pay of the teachers will
be discontinued and they will
spend the time at their respective
homes.

The central portion of the
graded school building has been
pronounced unsafe and, as an
nounced by Superintendent R.
E. Sentelle elsewhere in this
paper, the school will be closed
until further notice. The part
of the building affected is the
ceiling of the auditorium, direct
ly beneath the dome.
When the building was COM
pleted it was noticed that that
part of the building was not ex-
actly right, and Mr.. Mcmillan,
of Wilmington, reputed to be q
competent architect, was called
here to examine it. Mr.. Nc.
MILAN pronounced it entirely
safe. A-few nights ago Mr.. W.
H. Humphrey, a member of the
school board, noticed the con.
dition of the ceiling over the
auditorium and called it to the
attention of other members oil

have another architect to exam.

''The Dark Corner, by Zach

an altogether delightful story

TAFT'S CABINET.
Nominations of Men Who Are
to Make up Presidents Cabi-
net Confirmed. p.
Washington Dispatch. 5th.

WaShlhBU on DlSDatcn, OIn.
No specific opposition was
made to the confirmation Of any
member of the Cabinet when the
President sent that body his list
of nominations today. The nom
nations followed the formal mott
tication of the President by a
Senate committee that the Senate
was organized.
Although there was no specific
opposition to the Cabinet men,
bers, some rather sharp COM
ments were made by Mr.. Tillman
concerning the nomination of Mr..
Meyer to be Secretary of the
Navy and by Mr.. Bailey, con-
corning Mr.. Nagel, to be Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor. In
his remarks Mr.. Tillman called
attention to the investigation of
him by the Postoffice Department
during Mr.. Meyers incumbency
of the Office of Postmaster Gen
eral. The South Carolina Sena-
tor said that Meyer accused me
of being a liar when / was not, -
and Il accused Meyer of being
a liar when he was.
| However, Mr.. Tillman did not
object to confirmation. The COM
ments by Mr.. Bailey upon the
qualification of Mr.. Nagel had
reference to the latter's service
as counsel to the Waters-Pierce
| Oil Company. Mr.. Bailey saio
he understood that Mr.. Mage
had been an attorney for Stan.
dard Oil Company. Mr.. Borar
replied that he had investigated
this charge and found that its on
ly basis was the fact that Mr.
Nagel for the Waters-Pierce Oh
Company had once passed upor
the validity of an opinien of ;
court.

, ina tons the Senate went int

ing nominations were confirmed
