The church organisation at St. George's
date from 10 . 92, when the first house, of
worship there was erected. The celebrated
Whitefield preached there in the last cen
tury, during his first visit to this country.
About the same time he preached in Phil
adelphia, standing on the steps of 'the
court-house. It was night, and a lad of
some sixteen years . stood beside•him, hold
ing a lantern for the speaker's convenience.
So impressed was the boy by the solemn
manner and matchless eloquence of Mr.
Whiefield, that, forgetting his duty, lie let
the lantern fall, arid the •light was extin
guished. That boy afterwards became a
minister, and was pastor of St. George's
church when Whitefield returned here near
ly twenty years later. It was John Rodgers,

—The women of Dover, N. 11., have
been for some time past earnestly at
work seeking to arrest the Sale of intoxi
cating liquors. A general committee of
nearly one hundred of them, embracing
the wives and daughters of leading citi
zens, met, organized, provided for issu
ing and sending a strong, earnest and
touching appeal to every dealer, and
then, dividing their number into small
committees of visitation, called on
every person known to be engaged in
the traffic, and urged him to desist.
These, visits have -been repeated, and
not without effect. Several of the of
fenders confessed that the business 'was
morally indefensible, expressed some
shame' and more regret that they were
engaged in it, even while making apolo
gies and seeking to justify, themselves.
A very few have pledged themselves to
an abandonment of the traffic. Some
discourtesies have been met, but the
ladies have generally gained' 'a quiet
hearing and received manly treatment.
A public meeting was recently held in
the.city, when a report of the effort from
its. beginning was presented, and seve
ral earnest addresses were made by the
leading citizens, pledging active and
hearty co'operation. The women are
calmly resolute, and talk only of patient
persistence and final success. The effort
has very sensibly diminished the sales,

—A young soldier recently died of con

cident to soldier life. He passed through
all the war unharmed. And yet he was
among the bravest. He was a cavalry
officer • never spared himself; was with
Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley;
with Lee all through the wilderness,
around St. Petersburg and Richmond ;
was six days in the enemy's lines, cut off
from our own forces, almost starved, and
yet brought some sixty of his regiment
out again to a place of safety ; was with
Sheridan in the last fight and surrender
of the enemy—lived through all this,
and yet came home to die; to die like
a Christian, to die in peace.
But while he and alb his friends yet
supposed him in perfect health, belong
ing as he did to a robust family, he of
fected an insurance on his life for five
thousand dollars, for the benefit of a lov
ed anddevoted sister, to whom it fell to
care Tor hitn in his last sickness. She
was rewarded by his love and gratitude;
but she is Still cared for 'by'his wise
thoughtfulness, though now he is far
