With the Local Churches.

Rev. ]. W. Morgan filled his pulpit
at the Baptist church last Sunday
morning and evening. In place OF
the regular morning Sci .non he COM
pleted his report, begun on the pre-
ceding Sunday, OF the work Of the
Baptist Worlds Alliance at Philadel-
phia, a subject in which the members
of the Baptist congregation have
been deeply interested. Rev. Mr..
Morgan's two talks on this great
meeting have been most interesting
and instructive. Mr. r. II. Burns,
who was elected superintendent OF
the Sunday school at the monthly
business meeting last Wednesday
night, took charge of the school Sun
day morning. At the same time
there was also a reorganization of
the Baracca class with the following
new officers: Mr.. #. NJ. Pittman,
teacher; Mr.. T. II. Mayo, president;
Mr.. Joe Evans, vice president; Mr..
TheO. Stainback, secretary, and Mr..
S. o. Spruill, treasurer.
The three regular services were
held by the rector, Rev. !. W.
Hughes, at Holy Innocents EpiscO-
pal church last Sunday. The even
ing sermon was an especially strong
and spiritual one. Miss Helen Lamb
sang in her sweet, sympathetic voice
the beautiful anthem, "There Is a
Beautiful Home" in which she was
assisted by Miss Olivia Lamb, and
in the chOruses by the full choir. The
congregations at both the morning
and evening services were large.
Owing to the absence Of the rector,
there was no service last night.
However, there will be the usual ser
vice tomorrow afternoon at 6 clock,
followed by the meeting Of the
WOman's Auxiliary.
Rev. W. r. Royal preached two
excellent sermons at the Methodist
Episcopal church last Sunday, using
as his text at the morning service,
"Where is thy brother?" At this
into the Church. Mr.. Earle Harris,
the organist for the summer, played
for the first time, and also rendered
the offertory. Mrs. S. X. Rowland
was the solOist at the evening ser,
vice. Good congregations and inter
esting services characterized the day
at this church.
Rev. J. A. Mcclure preached good
sermon at the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning on the "Gift O
Tongues and of Prophecy" Mrs
F. B. Harris beautifully rendered
"Abide with me-" at the conclusion
| of this service. Instead Of the regu
lar evening service, an out of door
/ service was held on the lawn in front
of the church at 7 O'Clock, at which
there was a large attendance, thus
Indicating the popularity Of these
outdoor services.
Rev. II. M. Andrews preached al
the Methodist Protestant church
both morning and evening, and bOtt
were good, thoughtful sermons a.
usual. He also preached out a
Spring Valley church in the after
noon. 1.-The Home Land" was rem
dered at the morning service by Mrs
Andrews and Miss Ethel Harris. A
Sunday school in the morning suita
BILE prizes were awarded Miss Nirgit
Harris and Master Benjamin Hicks
for raising the largest sums of mon
ey for foreign missions at the Child
ren's Day exercises recently held.
