Church Sunday. THE REV. EDGAR CARPENTER. St. Penl's Episcopal Congregation Heard Two Sermons from Prospective Rector-Other Cbarch Incidents of Especial Note. , Sunday was a day of more than passing interest with several Wil mington congregations, notable among them being that of Grace M. E. church, where Bishop W. W. Duncan, of Spartanburg, S. C, preached two DOWerful sermons to larcrn convrpra- tions, the occasion being a rally of theQand where, inhisclosingdays, he had young people and others interested in the organ fund; that of St Paul's Episcopal church, where Rev. Edgar Carpenter, of Portsmouth, Va., who has recently been called to the rector ship of that parish, conducted two very impressive services, and that of the First Baptist church, where Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Black well, the pastor, began a series of "domestic sermons," delivering an interesting and instruc tive discourse at the evening service on ''Love and Courtship." TBE SERVICES AT GRACE CHURCH. The building was taxed to its utmost capacity at both morning and evening service at Grace and Bishop Duncan was given the closest attention of per haps 'the largest congregations that ever assembled there, ills especial theme was "musio" and the text was fittingly chosen from Colossians, third chapter and sixteenth verse: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom ; teaching and admonish ing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, sing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." The gifted Methodist divine was per haps never better and a synopsis of the many good things he said would do him an injustice. His sermon was deep, praotical and inspiring to all under tbe hearing of his voice. The vexed problem of church music was treated in a comprehensive, scriptural manner and was nothing if not prac tical. The influence of music upon the soul, its achievement in history and its uses and applications in the latter days was dealt with in a schol arly and cultured manner. In concluding he congratulated Grace church upon its effort to pro vide itself with an organ and later, when a collection was taken for the fund, which, through the efforts of the organ fund societies, has already gone beyond the $3,000 mark, an ad ditional sum of $190 88 was raised, some of the largest contributors being Mr. W. E. Springer $100, and Mr. Jno. F. Garrell $50. Others have given as much from time to time, but these were the largest individual subscribers Sunday. At the Sunday school service in the afternoon, Mr. W. B. Cooper; superin tendent, the same spirit of generosity prevailed again and there was an at tendance of 306 persons. The rally was extended into this service, and a further collection of $113 29 was re ceived. At the evening church service the collection for the fund amounted to $62 11, making the total amount raised during the day $666 28. At the evening service Bishop Dun can preached from the third chapter of St John, seventeenth verse : "For God Bent not his Son into the world to con demn the world ; but that the world through Him might be saved." His discourse upon this occasion was spoken of even more highly than upon the occasion of the morning sermon, and for an hour he held the rapt atten tion of the congregation. The relation of the church to the world was dealt with in an original and striking man ner; church members were shown wherein they fell short of the Divine injunction embodied in the text, and of the apparent lack of charity in their attitude towards their fallen brethren. The sermon was embellished with well taken illustrations and appeals to the church to desist from a suicidal policy which was in violation of every law of God and the true instincts of the real Christian. A special musical programme was rendered at each service, which was greatly enjoyed by the congregation. AT ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. At St. Paul's Episcopal Church the congregation was highly pleased with the services conducted by Rev. Edgar Carpenter, whom it is now believed almost to a certainty, will ac cept the call recently tendered him by the vestry. He is a man of splendid appearance and is possessed abund antly with grace and eloquence in the chancel. Without a dissenting voice the congregation are anxious for his early acceptance of the call and his removal to the city. Both services Sunday were well attended. Rev. Mr. Carpenter will leave to day for his home at Portsmouth and will likely announce his acceptance or declina tion of the rectorship this week. DR BLAOKWELL'S SERIES OF SERMONS. A large congregation heard Dr.Black well Sunday night at the First Baptist church, the occasion being the first of his series of domestic sermons and the subject being, "Love and Courtship. ' Next Sunday night the second of the series will be delivered and so on each Sunday nisrht until this special line of thought is exhausted. A yiSITIlCG LUTHERAN MINISTER. Rev. G. H. Cox, of Organ church, Rowan county, preached two instruc tive and well received sermons Sunday in tbe morning at St Matthew's Luth eran church and in the evening at St Paul's LutheVan church. Both ser vices were largely attended and afine impression was made by Rev. Mr. Cox. MR. WILKES MORRIS DEAD Well Known Citizen of Wilmington Passed Away at City Hospital Yesterday Morning. Friends in the city yesterday re ceived with a degree of sorrow, which betokened the very great esteem in which he was held by his fellow men, the news of the death of Mr. Wilkes Morris which occurred at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning at the City Hospital after a lingering ill ness of several months with heart failure and dropsy. His health had been very poor for the past two years but not until six or eight weeks ago did it become known that he was very near unto death. At that time he was taken under the care of the Hospi tal Circle of the King's Daughters and sent to the institution where he died the comforts of skilled nurses and the advantage of the services of the best physicians. Mr. Morris was born in- Wilmington and was a son of the late James T. Morris, a well known timber inspector on the wharf. Deceased was never married and lived all his life with the family of bis only surviving brother, Mr. Nicholas Morris, now residing on Front street Had he lived until next September he would have been 62 years of age. His life, while one of unosteatation, has been one fruitful in good deeds and marked by a suc cessful business career in his younger days. -Long before: the war, when only a lad, he became a olerk in the office of the late Mr, Michael Cronly, one of the best known auctioneers in this section of the State, which voca tion in those days was very lucrative and engaged the best business ability. The worth of the boy soon asserted itself and later Mr. Morris was asso - ciated with Mr. Cronly under the firm name of Cronly & Morris, which copartnership existed for a long num ber of years, until the death of the senior member of the firm several years ago, after which time the busi ness was carried by the deceased alone until his last illness and death. During the war Mr. Morris most efficiently served tbe Confederacy by appointment of Governor Vance as State purchasing agent of supplies for the army at Nassau, New Providence, and at Halifax, Nova Scotia, an im portant position, every duty of which he performed with signal ability and unswerving devotion to his country. In private HQ he was generous to a fault, sympathetic in his nature, and possessing other qualities which makes a source or deep regret ms removal from the community. He was brought up in the Episcopal church, and about two years ago was confirmed in that doctrine, and remained until his death a devoted parishioner of 8t. James, from which church the funeral ser vices will be conducted this morning at 10 o'c oek. The interment will be in Oakdai cemetery. COUNTY SCHOOL DIRECTORS Met In Monthly Session Yesterday-Corn-mnoiCation from Sorosla Ursine Industrial Branches.

Sprunt and Donald MacRae. The county treas urer's report was read and approved and the only business transacted was of a routine nature. A communication from the Home Science Department of the North Carolina Sorosis, relative to the estab lishment of an industrial branch in the public schools, was read and it was heartilv endorsed bv the Board which decided o recommend the matter to the several school committees and ask that they adopt the plan if they find it practicable. The communica tion was as follows: 'fbe Home Science Department of the Sorosis feels an urgent necessity for skilled labor in all departments and as a means to secure the same ask your attention to a phase of education used with success elsewhere. We would respectfully suggest that you incorporate tbe industrial branches in our public schools, both white . and colored. The necessity presented daily to every housekeeper for more intelli gent service in the kitchen forms tbe basis for this petition. By this means we hope not only to educate domestic servants, but also to dignify labor, which we believe tobe the only solu tion of the problems now confront ing us. "A kitchen with appliances added to onefof the school buildings (we would say tbe Union) would not be a very great expense. This being done, we think we have suggestions that will be of some economic service as to carry ing on the department Respectfully submitted by The Department of Home Science of the n. c. porosis. The ladies composing the Depart ment of Home Science are Mrs. Geo. R. French, Mrs. W. M. Cumming, Mrs. J. C. Stevenson, Mrs. O. W. Worth, Mrs. W. J. Cross well, Mrs. A. J. Howell, Mrs. P.

A tent on a vacant lot near the cor ner of Eighth and Dawson streets in which colored holiness preachers have been holding forth nightly for several weeks, was razed to the ground Satur day night It is said the work was done by persons in the community who have been watching too much familiarity of the races in the meetings. A storm of indignation has gone forth in some quarters by those who say they have had opportunity to know what is being carried on in the name of religion in that locality. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
