Congressman Speaks At Van
vile Church.

The Lord not only tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb, but he evi'
IDENTIFY takes care OF atmospherical
conditions when the corner stone
for one of his churches is laid. At
least this was demonstrated Sun

at Stokes School House, where the
new Vanville Christian church is to
be erected. The corner stone was
laid and everything passed off &C.
cording to program until the end.
As soon as the benediction was pro.
nounced rain began falling and one
of Mays sharpest showers ensued.
The exercises were very interest
ing, Congressman NJ. O. McLaugh.
lin. of Nebraska, made the chief
address and brought a great mes
sage to the devoted little congrega-
ton that has undertaken to- build a
house of worship at that point

from Clarksburg. Rev. Mr.. Van
Voris Is State evangelist and it was
under his preaching that the pres
ent congregation was formed, That
night he preached at Stokes School
House and told his hearers how
proud he was OF the congregation
and their undertaking.
Rev. Il. F. Schumacher. pastor of
Winchester.ayenue Christian church
who will also preach for the new
congregation, took part in the cere-
monies, and there was some excel
lent singing by the Gospel Quartet
Messrs. Bowers, Reynolds, Spiker
and Kisner. Dinner was served in
abundance on the grounds and the
attendance WAS large considering

CornweII Speaks At Annual
Memorial Services.

Despite threatening rain clouds

Antietam National Cemetery, at
Sharpsburg. Monday. ten thousand
persons turned out at That place to
commemorate the 59th anniversary
of the battle of Autiatam and to

The opening address was deliver
ed by Ex-Governor john b. Gornwell
of West Virginia, who said in part:
"Thirty-three years ago today,
visited Antietam cemetery for the
first time. When ! think of the
fine large body of Grand Army of
the Republic veterans Who turned
out to pay tribute to the memories
of their fallen comrades and COM
pare them with the mere handful
of survivors who are present today,
/ a movercome with sadness.
"Thirty-three years have left their
rayages in the fast dwindling ranks
ct the Grand Army of tho Repub-
lie \ few more years and that
army which once fought SO gallant
ly for the preservation Of our eoun-
try will be no more. Il behooves
us therefore not to discontinue
these memorial services when the
last of these men shall have passed
away. Let us rather keep them GO
ing forever. in order that the sacri-
fees that these men have made in
order that our nation shall con
tinue as one will be constant
source of inspiration To those who
come after us.
at is our sacred duty TO perpet-
uate these services. because the
1000 heroes who are buried here
have honored their country. They
have by their noble deeds etimulat-
ed patriotism in America and it Is
up to us to show our appreciation
of their service and sacrifices by
perpetuating their memory"
