PRoTRACTED MEETINGS.


The history of Benton City church
would not be complete without no
tice of is reviyals. Indeed 1t has
been and is church of revivals. No
one feature in its history is more
marked. 1t is quite customary to
read in the records and hear related,
by friends, accounts of meetings in
which II, Is, 25, 80 etc, are added
to the church by confession and GER
tificate. This has been a source of
constant blessing both to the mem
bership and the community. A
country church that has services
only twice a month however ably
and devotedly it may be served by
its pastor. is largely deprived of his
help and influence, especially if he
does not reside in the bounds of the
congregation, and therefore for a
church to be often visited by conso-
Grated evangolists and pastors,
means inspiration, uplift and growth.
Bro. A. A. Wallace connection
with Benton has been close and his
visits frequent. Here he made his
first attempt at evangelism in 1888,
when II were added. During the
pastorate of Rev j. E. Kerr he held
another meeting with excellent re-
suits. In the first of these he was
assisted part of the time by the ever
ready and faithful Cowan and
Mitchell who were rarely ever

residence to Greenville, where he be-

coming a textile center. He formed
a partnership with Judge w. c. Benet
and Judge Joseph A. Mccullough. He
became associated with II. J. Hayns-
worth in 1891.
He left the practice of law in 1907
to give his entire attention to the cot

FORGER " GETS BY"
WITH BAD CHECK
Bilks Columbia Bank i'm Sum of $37S
Name MisuScd is Well Known.

A clever swindler of the kind de-
Scribed in detective stories has ap-
peared in Columbia. The mysterious
Individual has already procured $37S
in one operation. His description has
been given to the police.
The swindler was discovered Satur-
day afternoon by one of Columbia's $
largest banks. Just before noon q
we'll dressed young man appeared at
the paying teller's window and pre-
Sented an envelope. The teller thought
he recognized the writing of the ad.
dress as that of we'll known attor-
ney of Columbia. The teller ripped the
letter open. Inside he found letter,
stationery of the attorney being used,
asking that the bank pay his check
for $378, which was inclosed. The
check was filed out on private
check blank of the attorney. The tel
Ter thought he recognized the sigma
ture. The money was paid and the
stranger departed.
Ten minutes after the stranger left
the bank the teller made a closer ex-
animation of the signature on the
check and found that one of the let
ters was "otf," when compared to
the genuine signature. The attorney
was notified and he stated that no
such check had been issued.
Detectives were called into the case
and the police were notified. 1t de-
veloped that the stranger in some
manner had obtained the private sta
tlonery of the attorney and 20 of his
blank checks.
The bank will have to make good
the amount. The attorney was very
much mystified.-Th State.

TRACES P. E. PRAYER BOOK
FROM ORIGINAL SERVICE
Rev. F. w. Smith at Trinity Broth.
erhood Service, Takoma Park,
Tells of Its Inception.

The history of the prayer book from
the original temple service of the time
of Christ to the present form used by
the Episcopal churches of America was
traced last evening by Rev. Frederick
William Smith. rector of Trinity Epis-
copal Church, Takoma Park, at SER
vice which was specially arranged
through the recently organized broth
erhood of the church. He described
successfully the development of the
creek book used by the Russian
church, the Latin form used in the
Church of Rome and the translation of
the latter into English under direc-
ton of Archbishop Cranmer, which
was the forerunner of the present
work.
The subject of the discourse was THE
Prayer Book Churchman.' and the
minister took as his text the words of
Revelation, And he had in his hand
a little book open"
Speaking of the prayer book itself,
Mr.. Smith said.
1T is representative Of all Christian
ages. No man wrote 1t. The book
has grown as the church has grown, as
the race has grown The prayer book
churchman appreciates it, treasures it,
loves it. 1t is the book of his Chris
tan ancestors. Saints and martyrs and
confessors, scholars and crusaders,
Statesmen and heroes have held it in
their hands.

The Man of Grief

In the White House Woodrow
sits, while the world is throwing
fits, and he looks across to Europe
with sigh: every hour new prob
lens loom through the all-pervad-
ing gloom, and he sheds a briny
tcardrop with his eye And no mat
ter what he does, half-baked
critics round him buzz, pointing
out the divers errors he has made
all his motives misconstrued by
the bunch OF kickers rude, till he
wearies OF the presidential trade
Not since Lincoln, long ago, toted
round his jag OF woe, has states
man had to bear so dire a load /;
and no sympathy he gets as he
walks the floor and sweats, as he
picks his way along his dreary
road. With all Europe throwing
bricks we should can our politics,
we should quit our useless nag
sing. quit it now; we should
stand behind the chief, in these
days of doubt and grief, and en-
courage him the best that we know
how. But we harp the same old
song, All your policies are wrong,
and you're always making blund-
erS, so it seems And the Presi-
dent is worn. BY a thousand trou-
bles torn. and he hears the Knock

COL. M0SBY, IN LETTER,
DENIES RAIDERS SHIPPED
Declares Men Used Pistols and Not
Long-Range Guns, as g. H.
Putnam's Article Infers.

Col John S. Mosby, the Confederate
raider and leader of "Mosby's men,
during the civil war, in a letter ad-
dressed to the London Times, denied
that the men of his command. wearing
civilian clothes. had "sniped' the SOL

Mr.. Putnam's letter was published in
the London Times November IA last, in

Belgium. In the course of his letter
Mr.. Putnam said:
'In the Shenandoah valley. in 1864,

was made either in the Shenandoah
valley or elsewhere Except in the case

the absence of uniform a ground for
the execution of the citizen who was
