A Notable Visitor.

Shepherdstown had notable visi-
tor last Sunday in the person OF DR..
Allen King Foster of the Baptist Board
Of Education OF New York, who was
here by invitation of President w. Fl.
s. White to address the Sunday school
mass meeting and the Y. M. c. A.
and Y. w. G. A. Of Shepherd College.
Besides filling these appointments, DIR.
Church Sunday morning and in the
night. A preacher Of greater power
ihan DR.. Foster has seldom been
heard in our community, and il was
rare privilege to listen to his mastery
discourses. At the Sunday school
mass meeting he defended the right OF
the scientists to present their views in
the proper way, and declared that re-
actions can be seen as readily in re-
lieion, as they can in science. The
basis of both science and religion, he
said, lies in three things: Mystery, theo-
ry and fact. There are mysteries in sci
ence as there are mysteries in relig-
ion, and there are theories and facts in
both. In his night sermon DR.. Foster
delivered a beautiful and helpful dis
course, making the point that every
soul that takes God at His word and
trusts and obeys His commandments
will find reservoirs OF strength that
will enable it to do any task and per-
form any duty. The Christian he
said, can do anything through Christ,
which strengtheneth him. Those who
heard DR.. Foster will not soon forget
him.

heavy rails they were supposed to

other eastern cities, great droves of
cattle passed through Shepherdstown
to market, and at times the streets
would be filled with the bawling, rest

of them. These guard posts and rails
