NOTES OF THE CHURCHES.

The evangelistic services conducted
IN the Southern Methods, Church by
kev. W. Z. Waters, assisted by Mx.
waters and Rev. Lee Richcreek, came
h an end last Sunday night with a
grSat meeting. The church was filled
a httle after six o'clock, and by the
!'hIs the service began at seven cvery
'"0h OF room vas taken up and an
S,trhow meeting had to be held in the
SUNDAY school room The greatest m
'ereSt was manifested, and the larfe
congr- cations remained until the sen
vices ended at half past ten O'Clock
IL has been a long time since such n
revival service has been held in Shep-
herdstown. During the two weeks
stay OF Rev. Mr.. Waters and his heb.
ers there were more than two hundred
conversions and reconsecrations, and
OF TINS number lbs expressed their In
tehtion, to unite with some one of the
churches in Shepherdstown. Ii Is thus
expected that every church in town
VIII have accessionS 10 its membership
as result Of the revival. Among those
who were converted were men of ma
ture years who have never been con-
nected with a church, and MANY Young
| men and women who decided to make
the right sort OF start in life. Hun
areds OF persons expressed themselves
as having received great spiritual
benefit, and Rev. Mr.. Waters has made
a record here which must be a source OF
great satisfaction 10 him and his assb-
ciates. handsome and valuable Bitie
was presented to J. d. Muldoon as an
expression Of his acceptable service In
leading the singing. The plate collee-
tlons were ample for all the expenses
connected with the service, and free
VIII Offering Of SAP was presented 70
Mr.. Waters and his helpers. The
party left Monday morning for Mt.
Jackson, Va, where they will con-
ehct a two weeks service. The un-
usual interest in this revival recalls
other great revivals in Shepherdstown.
One OF the most notable Of these was
one conducted in the Lutheran Church
soon after the Civil War BY Rev. :. |.
Miller, when the whole town and the
country round about were stirred AMI
there were many conversions. Later n
Dig revival was held in the Methodist
Church by Rev Mr.. Smith, which was
one OF great fervor. In the ninetlSs
Kew, &. n. Rockcy, OF the Lutheran
Church, and Rev. Frank Strother, OF the
southern Methodist Church, conducted
eVangelistic services which added MANY
to the church Of those who should Be
saved.
