A FINE SERMON.

A very large audience assembled
in the NJ. e. Church South on Mon
day night last, drawn there by the
announcement that the Rev. DR.. Nc
Murry, of Louisville, would preach.
After devotional exercises Presiding
Elder Williams announced that the
expected visitor had been detained
at home by business which could not
be postponed. Elder Williams ex-
pressed his regret on account of the
failure of the reverend doctor to
appear, and said he had a brother
present who had never failed him
the Rev. Mr.. Wilkinson, pastor of
the Prestonsburg church. Mr.. Wilk-
inson proved to be equal to the
emergency, He preached concerning
the character of st. Paul, and his
discourse showed that the speaker
had made careful and comprehen-
sive study of the great apostle to
the Gentiles. The serman was list
ened to with much attention.

chances for missionary getting ou
alive were very remote. He does
not tell in public OF his worst per-
sonal experiences in that country
but his friends know that he ran
the gauntlet of brickbats more than
once. He has passed through show
ers OF stones from which 1t seem
ed impossible to come out alive. He
stuck to the work, however, until
great things were accomplished
Naturally, the conversion OF China
from the Oldest monarchy in the
world to a republic has aroused DR..
Reid to a high pitch OF enthusiasm.
This may be better understood when
1t is known that several OF his pu-
pills are now holding some of the
high official positions in the new
republic.
DR.. Reid gave the most compre-
hensive view possible of China and
the great possibilities open there to
the Christian world. 1t was re-
markable missionary address and II
is pity that everybody can not
hear II.
DIR. Reid came direct here from
Nashville, Tenn, and left on the
midnight train to address another
meeting Thursday evening.
Thursday Rev. r. T. Webb, OF
Barboursville. preached. Mr.. Webb
Is Educational Secretary OF the
Western Virginia Conference, vice
President OF Morris Harvey College
and pastor Of the Barboursville
church. He is an able man and
pt ptominent in church work.
DR.. Redd, former pastor OF the
,Paintsville church, but who Is now
at Millersburg, KY, was confer
eDce visitor.
We regret that we are not in
position to report In detail the fine
sermon preached by Rev. Pollitt.
The women had their SAY on
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. ]. C.
Cranberry was the chief speaker,
and she made an excellent talk on
Young PEOPLES Work in Missions, "
Mrs. John Ault and Mrs. H. c.
Sullivan spoke on the work in this
district.

.POSTMASTERS RESIGN.
New Order Requiring Examination Of
Incumbents Doing Deadly Work.

Washington.-Wholesale resigna-
tions of fourth-class Postmasters
will be the result of the new order
requiring these Postmasteys to take
civil service examinations. The
stream of designations began to flow
toward Washington to-day. Many
thousands of these small officials
prefer to throw up their jobs rather
than undergo scholastic examina-
tions with the orders, as they be-
lieve, altogether in favor of their
Democratic competitors.
The examination of fourth-class
Postmasters under the civil service
law as directed by the President will
be made by States. President Black
of the Civil Service Commission said
today that the commission has not
the money with which to examine
the applicants for these Postoffice
positions simultaneously in all the
States. The work of conducting ex-
aminations will consume several
months. The commission estimates
that examinations for about 10000
offices will have to be held in Post
offices. Where the salary Is less
than $3.50 a year no examination
will be required, as Postoffice In
spectors will be authorized to pick
persons to fill these small offices.
Chairman Black of the Civil ser
vice Commission authorized the
statement today for the first time
that he commission approves the
Presidents order. AS a matter of
fact the plan of examination was
prepared by the commission. After
Postmaster General Burleson had
suggested that the Taft order ought
to be revoked and that there ought
to be an examination for all fourth
class Postmasters the Civil Service
Commission was asked to prepare
plan Of procedure. and this II
| did.

WORTHY OF NOTE.

Garnet, the 12-year-old daughter
of Mr.. Charles See, of this city,
has successfully passed the ex-
animation for a County Diploma,
thereby making a record of which
she and her friends well may be
proud. The examination was held
two weeks ago by the county exam
iDers, and besides herself there
were many others, some of whom
failed, some retiring before the end
of the ordeal. The applicants were
examined as to their proficiency in
the branches taught in the public
schools, and the diploma entities
the winner to admission to the
county high school without charge.
The examinations are made under
strict supervision, without the pos
sibility of the applicant obtaining
help from anyone. If the case of
this child has parellel the NEWS
would like to know it.

IT WAS A GOOD SHOW.

In spite of the clouds which
threatened, and of slight shower
in the early part of the day lash
Friday, very large crowd of our
country friends came in to attend
the Sun Brothers Show. BY ten
O'Clock the weather cleared, and
when the doors of the Big Top were
opened the people simply poured in
until the tent was full, and at the
close of the fine programme the
show was voted one of the very
best ever seen in Louisa. Every
event was an excellent one, and
there were very many of them.
Every feature was clean, and each
number was presented with a pre-
cision and finish seldom seen un-
der tent. The music was excel
lent, the attaches were courteous,
and the much abused concert" re-
lieved that feature of much of its
Ill repute.

OUR fred. :
New Yorker Thanks Newspapers f0l
Publishing Rev. Shannon's Sermon.

| 1t is long way from devil" in
the office of country newspaper
to prominence as preacher in the
largest city on the American con-
tinent. but the Rev. Frederick f.
shannon, Louisa born and bred, has
travelled the road and reached the
eminence. Read the following from
the Brooklyn Eagle:
Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
Will you allow me space to thank
you for publishing in last Mondays
Eagle the sermon of the Rev. Fred
erick f. Shannon? 1t is a notable
production. l heard the sermon as
1t was delivered in the Madison Ave
nue. Reformed Church a few Sunday
evenings ago. thought at the time
that 1t was worthy Of a much larg-
er hearing, and ] am glad it has re-
ceived the same in the sermon pages
of The Eagle. Mr.. Shannon Is al
ready well known for his great abil-
ity as a preacher, though still a
young man. He is destined to be
one of the outstanding pulpit forces
of the land. He is logical. forceful,
luminous. and employs history, an
Client and modern literature in a
mhsterly fashion. His illustrations
are united, and always to the point.
But more than this. he is gracious
ly and profoundly scriptural, bring
Ing all OF his thinking into the light
of the Master Being blessed. In adj
dition to this. with large human
heartedness, Mr.. s. is the realiza-
tion Of the kind of preacher need
ed to-day. He is modern without be-
ing fantastic. and compelling with
out any attempt at coercion--a rare
compound Of the teacher and per-
suader of men.
