geon. she having received q bad cut
upon her face In the fall. For some
time past Miss Bridgers had been
making her home with q Christian
Science lady.
Il was q strange coincidence that
only yesterday the local scientists
announced through the local press
that the First Church OF Christ. Sci
entists. had been closed In obedience
TO orders from the Christian Sciences
board OF directors This course was
pursued by the mother church owing
to the fact that nearly all OF the
members OF the local church were In
sympathy with Mrs. Augusta Z. Stet-
son. who recently had trouble with
the mother church and was expelled.
Miss Bridgers was daughter OF
the late Robert r. Bridgers. Tor many
years president Of the Atlantic Coast

The Christian Science church here
is perhaps stronger than at any other
point in North Carolina. and has been
an established institution here for
the past eight years.

Church, South, closed their work of
the present year to-day preparatory
to going to Winston-Salem, where
the annual session of the Conference
will convene on Wednesday, the 18th
inst. Many of the pastors preached
farewell sermons to their congrega-
lions to-day, having completed four
years service, and will have to be
removed to other charges on account
of the time limit The presiding
elders have been exceedingly busy
during the past two weeks preparing
reports to the Conference. The vari-
Gus pastors, more than 800 in num-
Der, have also been active and it is
believed their annual reports will
show a good gain for the church
