WILMINGTON, N, C; MONDAY. DECEMBER
Bishop Haid delivered last night,
at t. Thomas', Church, the last of
the series of eight lectures. His
theme last night was "The Papacy
and Pope Leo XIII." Notwith
standing the disagreeable weather
there was fi large congregation.
The New Pastor at Fifth Street.
Rev. R. C. Beanidn, the new Pas
tor of Fifth Street M. E. Church,
entered upon his ministerial labor
in that church on yesterday; He
preached at both services, in the
morning and at night. On both oc
casions the congregation was very
large, fie is an earnest, eloquent
divine, and won all hearts to him.
The congregation of this church are
to be congratulated on having this
faithful Christian worker among
them for the ensuing year.
Rev. Mr. Swindell at Grace Church.
The first quarterly meeting of the
conference year was held yesterday
and Saturday at Grace M.E.Church.
Rev. Mr. Swindell, the new Presid
ing Elder, was present and preach
eu two powerful sermons, at morn
ing and at night. There . were very
large congregations in "attendance
and all were charmed and delighted
Land edified. Our Charlotte friends
mav well mourn the loss of this elo
quent divine on their circuit.

Death of an Old Citizen.
We regret verv much to learn of
the death in this city yesterday, of
nleunsv. of Mr. tribson Keerister, a
native and an oldimd highly esteem
ed resident of Wilmington. He was
buried to-day in Bellevue Cemetery,
the funeral service taking nlace at
Fifth Street M. E. Church, of which
the deceased had long been a prom
inent and consistent member.
Mr. Register was, we think, about
54 or 55 years of age. He was for
some years Superintendent of the
Fifth Street Sunday school and the
children of the school attended the
services in a body. He , was also a
member of StonewallLodge,Knights
of Pythias, and the lodge accom
panied his remains to the grave. He
was a machinist and had worked
for many years past in the shops of
the W. & W. R. R. in this city and
was held in the highest esteem by
his employees and his fellowwork
nien. He leaves a wife and two
sons to mourn their irreparable loss.
McKee liankin.
Theatre-goers will be glad to learn
that McKee Rankin, an old ac
quaintance and a great favorite here,
will appear in this city this week.
He is booked for Thursday, the 20th,
and will be with us but one night.
The Runaway Wife" is the play he
will present here. The piece is new
to us and we will let another paper
tell us what it is. The Chicago
Herald says:
A auiet story of domestic .life
strong,but not vehement in incident,
and so full of absorbing human
interest and genuine pathos that the
attention, enchained at the outset.
is held until the end. In point or
simplicity and in the ppwer that
originates in natural methods as
oonosed. and the artificial realism
so much in vogue.it narrowly escapes
greatness. The true measure oi a
play is its effect upon an intelligent!
audience. The heart beat of the
entire world is attached to the same
kevnote of sympathy, for human
snfferincrs of a false tone is quickly
recognized. "The Runaway Wife"
strikes the keynote firmly and well
the principal vibration is in perfect
time, and palpable detects in minor
nflsa(Ps do not nrevent the work in
its unity from gaining the distinction
and- endorsement of hu.sUe.d' and
! absorbed attention. This is not an
j infallible test of merit, but is one of
' the tests upon which reiianoe may
j be placed iri connection with a play
: that does not appeal to either sensa
tional or depraved instincts. When
a heart is concerned the popular

A Case of Quiet Heroism.
This is the title to can article which
we find in the Churchman and which
we are so sure will be read with in
terest herthftteTeproduceit in
our columns. It is as follows: ;
The heroes of the mission field are
not all engaged in foreign lands nor
in the Western regions ot our own
land. We have reason to believe
that there are unknown and unsus
pected lives of brave and silent en
durance among the missionaries of
the Atlantic seaboard, which would
movel the heart of the Church to
sympathy and helpfulness, if they
could only be made Known, in a
recent conversation with 'Bishop
Watson, of East Carolina, we drew
from him an account of the stipends
of the clergy of his diocese, of which
the following is a brief abstract. He
has twenty-five clergymen receivmg
stipends for clerical work: in serving
sixty-six congregations. These men
may be divided, according to their
incomes, into four classes. The first
class of five is comparatively rich.
One has a stipend of $2,000; one has
&1.500; three have $1,000: all have
rectories; and two increase their in
comes by teaching. The second
class of five is not so rich, the sal
aries ranging from $900 to $650. One
of these clergymen has a rectory;
two add something to their incomes
v teaching:: two have no rectories
and have no other income than their
stipends. In the third class of seven
clergymen the stipends range from
fOO'to $500. Jbive nave rectories;
three make something by teaching;
two have no rectories and do not
teach. The fourth class of eight
clergymen have stipends ranging
from 400 to &275. There are three
rectories among the eight ;f our of the
eight eke out a subsistence by teach
ing; one has some private means;and
one, without" a rectory, serves
four congregations, pays .his own
house rent and maintains a family
on $400. In this statement we in
clude $950. distrubed from the dio-
cesan. mission iuna, $i,uuu comn
tinted -to the work among the color
ed people, and $800 received from the
Board of Missions and applied to
the support of clerical missionaries.
These men are not complaining; the
diocese of East Carolina has made
no moaning in the ears of the
church. It was with some difficulty
that we drew the facts of the case
from Bishop Watson. But we can
not withhold our tribute or admira
tion at least from those eight men
who serve eighteen congregations
of the churchy without complaint,
on an ayerag daily wage we can

cents and two mills. We wouid not,
if we could, withdraw one penny
from the church's other missionary
fields. Not one of them receives too
much. -But at this Christmas sea
sonmight not something" extra be
sent to those quiet men of has
Carolina, without, diminishing the
eontributions which are, peeded by,
and are due to, cithers?
