Rev. Role lie Strider, of Wheel
ing, in attendance at the Episcopal
Council in session here preached in the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning. Mr.. Strider has a good de-
livery and his sermon was instructive.
Ruling Elder Mr.. Wright Denny an
nounced to the congregation that Rev.
Mr.. G. 0. Mann, recently given a call,
would be here the Ord Sunday in June,
the 10th, at which time> he would
preach for them, and that so far as is
known there would be no preaching
in the Presbyterian church on next
Sunday.
The closing exercises of the Episco-
pal Council on Sunday night were
most interesting. A thrilling lecture
on the War in Europe by Rev. DR..
Hugh Birckhead. Rector of Emmanuel
Church, Baltimore, was very instruc-
tive. All the details given, (himself)
being an eye witness. There was a
large congregation present and many
of other denominations awaited them
selves of the opportunity to hear one
of the church's greatest Devines. The
music by large choir was especially
good at all the meeting.

of opportunities. In his youth he
knew the sweat of toll, and his early
habit Of diligence strengthenea the
formative years Of his manhood. His
qualifications for the important rep
resentative Office he aspires to appeal
strongly to the business and industrial
elements of the State, which require
just such a man to intelligently rep
resent them in the law-making body of
the nation. He has always been
man of high public spirit, a construc-
tive force interested in the develop
ment Of that section of the State
where the ties Of his nativity have
held him in close communion with the
people. He has a mind of broad cul-
tivation, and his long association with
men of affairs in the development of
the State has equipped him with un-
derstaading of the needs Of his native
commonwealth and the things that
are most likely to promote TIC welfare
of the people. He will make an ex-
ceptionally strong and able West Vir-
ginian."
