this city came to a close astniglit.
AT morning prayer ut lO:45 the
church was filled. The preacher was
the Rev. John S. Douglas, Of Trinity
Church, Martlnsburg. Rev. Douglas,
discourse was an eloquent exposition
of the theme he had under eonstdera-
tion and his. hearers were given high
conceptions Of the great principles un-
folded in the study. OF Gods word and
the application Of life to the truth re-
yealed. The holy communion was ad;
.ministered at this service by Right
Reverend Bishop Peterkin and by Rev.
Douglas.
In the afternoon at. three O'clock
the Layman's Missionary movement
was discussed by the Rev. jacob Brit.
tingham, rector Of St LukeS Church,
OF Wheeling, and by Mr.. Oliver j.

ham briefly discussed the work Of the
Layman's convention held in the city

lated the effect that convention had
upon the churches. He related. the
healthy Influence that it had exerted
over his church. Mr.. Sands went
into a lengthy discussion Of The, move.

'ress in carrying out the workoutlined.
He cited many instances where the
movement is meeting with the proper.
encouragement and inswerking out this
part Of the programme the churches.
have strengthened themselves I'M
all other lines Of activity.
He said that this was truly a
mans work and that the rea-
son that men had not taken up the
work before this was that the appor-
tionments made by the church people
for missions was so small that the
work did not appeal to men aid it was
left for the Woman's AnxiliaTand the
School who slcceededto raise
the amounts apportioned. He said that
in his church in Richmond last year
its apportionment was $40. This
amount was raised with some hard
work on the part of the Sunday School
and the Womans Auxiliary. This year.
the church asked for four thousand
dollars and the amount was raised

pons, and with the difficulty Of
counting these coupons and verify;
ing the validity Of each one, the

to reason that even a contest man
couldn't count coupons very accurate

these departments are exceedingly
busy. and names must be plainly
written to facilitate the accurate
handling of the enormous increase
in circulation.
Since the excitement has become
so intense and the contest for the
West Virginlans' honors is so heated,
several questions have arisen as 10
the nature Of the accommodations to
be offered the West virginian's party
en- tour. AS has been previously an
nounced. the party will sail under
the direction Of Thomas Cook & Son.
the famous tourist agency Of New
York and London. This company
has been in the foreign four business
for seventy years. and is known all
over the world as the foremost or.
ganization OF it's kind, catering only
to the best class OF tourists. The
party will sail from Montreal on the
is. s. Lake Erie, one of the most ele-
gantly appointed vessels Of the well
known Allan line. First class passage,
Of course, WILDE provided, with every
attention to the comfort and convent
ence Of the Individual members of the
party. On arrival in Glasgow, the
West virginian's party will be met by
a regular conductor, representing the
Cook agency These conductors are
especially selected for their refine
ment, education and familiarity with
the details Of travel as well as with
the principal points of interest Of the
places visited by tourists.
In all, the West virginian's party
shall want for nothing, and 1t is the
purpose of this paper to spare no
expense in providing everything es-
sential to enjoyment OF a delightful
educational trip.
