active interest in religious affairs were
enthused by the great meetings held in
this city by representatives of theMen

services and mass-meetings in
the various Protestant churches, and
the chief feature was a mass-meeting

of age in the City Hall Auditorium. The
building was packed and the greatest
Interest was manifested by the men and
boys of the town. Those from a distance
who addressed the various meetings

In a recent address before a religious
convention Governor Mann of Virginia
said: "Although I appreciate the honor
of being Governor of this great
Commonwealth, I had rather be an
humble Christian than hold any office
in the gift of man. I am an elder in
the Presbyterian Church, and have
been since 1872. I esteem that office
more highly than the governorship of
Virginia,"

A SUGGESTION
A Presbyteriul Book Exchange.
There is a class of books which every
preacher wants to read and ought to
read but which are of greater temporary
than permanent interest, and with
which after reading one does not care
to lumber ones bookshelves. The suggestion
is that there be formed in the
Presbyteries or 'Synod a hook exchange
nnH thof nh ? * * * *
uwvi mat catil JIICTlUUtJI* UIlLlg Willi Dim
at least one book to the exchange for
other books of similar class and value,
The exchange might be managed by the
clerk or some one designated for that
purpo'se.
For Montgomery Presbytery I volunteer
to attend to the exchange of such
books as may be brought by the members
of the Presbytery at the Spring
meeting In Lynchburg.

It Is very trying indeed for the well
folks to have the care of nearly a
hjndred sick. And the expenses! Of
course, we must have a few delicacies
for the little convalescents. And sad to
say that while the expenses have been
greater than over, the receipts have
been cmaller. We bring out little people
to you, dear brethren. They need
