The Wise in Council.

The men who have method, and, as
It were, judicial intellect, are most
valuable councillors. without such

made. Such persons gather the sense
Of a mixed assembly, and suggest a
line Of action which may honestly meet
the different views of the various mem

PETERSBURG, Va, Jan. 20
Virginia claims the distinction Of
having the oldest church of Prot
estant faith still standing and hav-
ing been in constant use. in Amer
lea.
In isle of Wight County, near
the town of Snnithfield, from
whence comes the world-famous
Smithfield ham, stands this veneer
able old pile, erected in 1852. There
has been. some contention as TO
whether this was older than the
church at jamestown Island, where
Virginia, in fact America, was first
settled by the English in 1907.
BEARS DATE 1882.
st. sLuke's, as the old church is
known far and wide. has the date
1852 on two or more bricks In its
walls. with other evidence to sup
port it's claim. It's recorded that
Sir John Harvey. governor Of the
Virginia colony, in 1888, said at
Jamestown: "Out of our own purses
we have largely contributed to the
building of a brick church." evil
IDENTIFY referring to the church at
Jamestown, which was, il is be.
heved, completed in 1910. Therefore
il looks like St. Luke's has the prior
claim. And while jamestown Church
has long ago crumbled away, leav-
ing nothing but a part Of the tower,
st. Luke's has been constantly used
since the day of its erection.
st. Luke's is a seventeenth CEN
fury church, built of brick that
were said to have been brought
over from England as ballast in
ships returning to the colony for
another load of tobacco. The build
ing OF the church was begun in
1882 by Col. Joseph Bridger, one of
the kings counsel for the colony of
Virginia. who died in 1882. and
whose tomb today may be seen in
the aisle OF the old church.
Its stained glass windows, made
in London, memorials to those con-
nected with its history, are all of
n beautiful design. Its carved altar
and exquisite reading desk; its wine
glass pulpit with its broad steps
and high sounding board; its beau
tiful font Of pure Carrara marble.
made in England, are all especially
attractive. The pews are Of the
original style and made from native
pine.
MANY OLD GRAVES.
Among the stately trees that sur
round the church are countless
graves. some of them old and cruIn-
bling. dating back to but a few
years after the first English settle
ment at jamestown in 1907
Many prominent visitors have
been here: Gen. George Washington,
the Marquis de la Fayette. Tarle-
toms British troops. and in the war
Of 1861-'65 it was a camping ground
Tor soldiers of both armies.
At the foot of the hill on which
the church stands from beneath a
large ROCK gushes forth a clear,
cold spring: this brook has been
known, from time immemorial, as
'Pocahontas Spring" and the legend
Il that the beautiful Indian princess
was wont to stop and drink of its
cold, sparkling waters.
