When they felt themselves to be a little large for the Sunday school, and there was as yet for them no place in the regular church or parish work, there seemed nothing else open but to step out entigely, wait until a few more years pass- ed and then €nter again into the active work of the church. “There was a missing link. Somewhere between the Sunday school and the church there was a break in the organization of Christian workers. The organization of the Christian Union has supplied what was wanting, and now not only in Washington, but from one end of this land to the oth- er, in city and village, a voice will be heard, a°grand united chorus of a hundred thou- sand young men and women. 2 “We want a crusade here in the Wash- ington Universalist Church, and we want to hegin now. I believe there is a great opportunity for our church here.” ‘After twenty-four years of service as superintendent of the Anacostia Metho- dist Episcopal Sunday school, Mr. H. A. Linger is econ to retire from that office. With one exception, Mr. Linger is the old- est Sundzy school superintendent, in point of scrvice, in the city. His retirement is made necessary because of his removal to the northwest section of the city. So far as Is known, no successor to Mr. Linger has been selected. ; | Although the hall of history of the American University, now about com- pleted, will notbe opened to students be- fore the beginning of the next schovl year, if then, Vi Chancellor Beiler has al- ready received ‘many letters from young men in every part.of the United States, and some in South America, inquiring as to terms. The. prospects are that when the doors of fhe {pstitution are thrown cpen for the admission of students, enough names will offer for enrollment to tax its immediate capacity.’ It was expected that the contractor woutl be ready to turn the hall of history over to the trustees by the first of next méhth, but on account of the non-arrival of some needed material ther will, it 1s thought, be a delay of a few days. Even after ‘the trustees get pos- session of the building, there will be much to do before it can be used for the pur- pose for which it is intended, as it is still entirely destitute of furniture and other necessary appurtenances. The leading topic of interest in the Methodist copal churches of the city is the approaching session of the Balti- more corference. It is to be held for a week, beginning March 2, 1898, at Waugh Church, corner of 8d and A streets north- 1D east, Rev. Dr. E. Olin Eldridge, Preparations are being made to give the members a most hearty welcome. it is not expected that there will be many changes in the pastorates in this city, there being but two ministers whose terms expire by limitation. These are Rev. Dr. Hugh Johnstor of Metropolitan and Rey. Dr. S. M. Hartsock of Ryland. It is believed in many quarters that Dr. John- ston will go to the First Church, Balti- more, and conceded that Dr. Hartsock will secure an appointment equally us good as the one he has had during the past five years, and that his next charge will be somewhere in this vicinity. A removal of Dr. and Mrs. Hartsock to any considerable distance from Washington would, it :is said, interfere so much with conference plans that It 13 thought ke will be as- signed to a good field cither in Baltimore or some of the other larger places within the bounds of the conference. A called meeting of the Presbytery of Washington city will be held in the Pres- byterian Church in Vienna, Va., Monday next, beginning at 10 a.m., for the purpose of considering a call which has been ex- tended to Rev. David W. Montgomery to become pastor of the churches of that de- nomination at Vienna and Lewinsville. Rev. Dr. Bittinger, moderator, will pre- side. If the call be approved, Mr. Mont- gcmery will be installed the same day. A Presbyterian church which was re- cently completed at Riverdale, Md., was dedicated Sunday afternoon last. The ex- ercises were in charge of Rev. Dr. Bittin- ger, who vas assisted by Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis and Rev. Charles Alvin Smith, all of Washington. A large congre- gation was present and much interest was manifested. The church is yet without @ settled pastor, but it is expected that the rew church “and the Presbyterian Church in Hyattsville will be united, at least so far as the services of a minister are con- cerned. The Hyattsville pulpit will also be vacant after January 1, Rev. Charles M. Livingston, the incumbent, having resigned on account of his failing health. The successful revival services which have been in progress at Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Rev. A. P. Miller, pastor, will continue for some time. Mr. Miller is assisted by Rev. George W. Rob- erts, an evangelist of wide reputation on the Pacific coast, but who is now mak- ing his first tour of the eastern portion of the country. Mother Josepha Hermanna Glink, the su- perior general of the Order of the Sisters of Notre Dame throughout the world, who, as heretofore stated in The Star, is expect- ed to visit Washington early in January, will spend the Christmas holidays with some of the sister#of the order in Balti- more. Mother Hermanna’s headquarters are in Bavaria, Since her arrival in the United States several months ago she has visited Buffalo, Rochester, Boston, Phila- delphia and New York. The Hamline M. E. Sunday school will hold its annual Christmas festival at the church Wednesday evening, December 29, at 7:30, o'clock. Among the interesting features of the occasion will be the ren- dition of a teautifulcantata, entitled “The Birth of Christ.” nta Claus will appear and make the distribution of presents. Electric lights) have been placed in the entire building; and the church will be beautifully illuminated on this occasion. A “question "box" has been placed in St. Paul's Catholic Church for the accom- modation of persons who desire informa. tion on the doctrines and practices of the church. The answers will be giyen from the altar Friday evgnings at 7 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Henry J. Shandelle of Wash- ington preached Wednesday at the conse- cration of a new altar in the Carmelite Convent Chapel, Baltimore. The altar cost $2,000, and is of the finest Italian marble, highly polished. ¥ The annual report of the American Mis- sionary Association, which does a large ambunt of work among churches and schools in the south and west, was made public this week. The report states that the want of funds has caused the turn- ing away from school of hundreds of stu- dents since the previous report was made. During the year eighteen new churches, each having several hundred members, were organized. The church work in the south includes 224 churches, 133 missiona- ries, 11,317 members. The work among the Indians includes 17 churches, 871 members, 28 schools, 86 missionaries and teachers, 592 pupils, 26 missionary outstations and two missionaries in Alaska. The work among the Chinese includes 20 schools, 32 teachers, 1,084 pupils, 164 Christian Chi- nese and 60 prefessing faith in Christ during the year. The general summary of the work of the association comprises 120 schools, 14,064 pupils, 666 missionaries, 241 churches and 12,288 church members. The receipts from all sources during the twelve months were $401,371.08. The annual meeting of the Christian En- deavor Society of the Maryland Avenue Baptist Church was held at the residence of the pastor, Rev. N. C. Naylor, No. 1367 F street northeast, and officers were elected for the term ending December 31, 1898, as follows: President, W. C. Irey; vice president, Miss Georgia Turnbull; re- cording secretdty, W. M. Collins, and treasurer, Miss Florence Callahan. Among other business of importance transacted was the appointment of a committee to print a church manual (1808). a Businesslike Man. From the Chi¢ago Post. “Yes; old Bonds is a very businesslike man.” “In what way?” “Well, Charley Dresser went to his of- fice yesterday to ask him for the hand of his daughter.” “And I suppose the old man asked him to make out an inventory of his worldly pos- sessions, swear to it and then turn it over to him, as evidence of his ability to sup- port her in the style to which she has been accustomed?” “No, Charley was prepared for something of that sort; but the old man didn’t ask for any details.” . “Came right down to the question of dewer, did he?” “No; he didn’t do that, either. He just looked at Charley over his glasses in a solemn sort of way and asked: “ ‘Have you spoken to my daughter, yet?’ “Of course Charley said he had.” “‘*And she has sent you to me?’ went on the old man. “She has,’ answered Charley. “Then I suppose there is but one mat- ter to be considered,’ said the old man, and Charley naturally smiled and said that _was the way it impressed him. “We may as well come down to business at once,’ said the old man after that. ‘I am a straightforward man of few words. Do you want to buy her or do you want her to buy you? I've noticed that it’s usu- ally one or the other, and I don’t mind tell- ing you that I will sell cheap and won't pay much!” “And what did Charley do “He hasn't done anything yet. thinking it over.” He's still AUCTION SALES.
