Airy - From Mt A»rv Star. *• About twent; -live members of the vested choir of Christ's Episcopal church. Walnut Cove, attended the services at Trinity Episcopal church, this city, last Sunday and sang the complete Episcopal service of morn- | ing prayer. Members who were present were loud in their praise of the way in which the whole choir rendered the service iuid were un r animous in saying that it was the finest musical treat that was ever h given in the local church. e ' Most of the niemoers were young children with several older people and in charge of Mrs. I.illie Fulton ' and JuWa Hairston. The Venite, i' , which was the old hymn of the ancient Matin service, was sung to s Gregorian music and Benedictus of I the ancient laud service, as well as the Jubilate of the ancient None service. It was very inspiring to ' hear those old hynpis which Chris tians of the early church loved and j sung. II i _ i In olden times there were only „ two professions which educated men C 1 could enter. One was the church ..land the other was the army, so that f the church was full of clergy and t - as a result there were services go ing on all day from just after mid night to just before midnight The names of these services which were called thi' hours, were Matin, Priam, j Tierce, Sect, None, Vesper and Com pline, Matni being the service ju.-'. 'after midnight and Conlpline beinj; , the last service just before niidniglit >, When the different professions ho ,• gan to come into being, the educat ed! men began to enter tlieni and as c a result :h" number of clergy began ejto do line and the chureh had to e ' merge these seVell services into two I ii| which were called Divine Service of ; Morning and Evening Prayer, whic'i >; is the name of them in the Episco pal church today as it was before i - the reformation i! j The Episcopal church traces its I history back to the day when Cara-j - ! doc, the King of Ancient Rritia.il, ■' was captured by the Romans and r > taken prisoner of war with his fatli '"jer. Bran, his son, Linus and hi daughter, Claudia, who wen- con "• j • 1 by St. Paul and when re leased from prison Caradoe and '• Bran went back to Britian as Chris '">jtian missionaries, while Linus, ke . came a bishop in Rome and Claudia 1 ntarried Pudens, the son of a Ro ' man senator. St. Paul speaks of ! these persons in the fourth chapter '■ lof second Timothy hi the last two | verses and these old hynpis grew 10 i out of the religious worship of the | ancient church, which is still to »e "'i found in the Episcopal church and IS it was very interesting to hear the if I choir sing these old favorities here e | in Mount Airy l ' j It was a very appropriate day for IL ' | the choir to sing them here as last | Sunday was the day the Episcopal ""'church commemorates the coming of ie j the Holy Ghost, the day being called | Whit Sunday as it was the custom the early English church to wear white on this day and Whit Sunday y | is merely the old White Sunday. | The rector of the church, the Rev. ' Mr. Marshall, in his sermon pointed tc j out that Whit Sunday was originally c> called Pentecost and in the Hebrew rs church it marked the giving of the * | law on two tablets of stone, but in the Christian church Pentecost I marks the writing of God's law on t '', the fleshy tablets of the heart. Pcn- II * tecost in the Hebrew church murk sl ed the bringing in of the first fuits 10 i but in the Christian church it marks 10 : the first fruits of the Christian or church by the conversion of the I three thousand after St. Peter's ser ar.mon in Jerusalem. In the Hebrew j church it also marks the welding of the tribes coming out of Egypt int.) a nation and in the Christian church it marks the founding of the Chris tian church. Pentecost to the Israelites in tht wilderness was a time of terror, bul Whit Sunday to the Apostles was ( time of joy for it brought the ful filment of the Saviour's promise o1 the Holy Ghost, the Comforter wh wag to guide men into all truti 1 I Resolutions of Respect. j On May Sth, l'.i2(>, our Heavenly Father saw lit to remove from our midst Mr. Riley R Boyles, one of our faithful member.

CHRISTIAN, Chm. ■ a M. 0. JONES, Secy. Facsimile of Tickets To Be Used In Primary In Stokes Below may be seen a facsimile of the Democratic and the Republi.au tickets which will be used in the primary in Stokes on June f>th. It will be noted that in cases where a candidate has no opposition, ir. his own party his name does not appear on the ticket. For instance, A. J. Fagg and C. O. Boyles, Republican candidates for Clerk of the Court and House of Representatives respectively, were each unopposed in their own i party and hence will not be voted for in the primary, the filing of their names with the election board making them the bonafide candidates of their party. Another thing to which attention is directed is that only three county commissioners can be voted for by one person. In voting for members of the Board of Education Democrats should check two nantes, wtaile Repub licans check only one. Those who expect to participate in the primary should familiarise them-, selves with the ticket, as those marked incorrectly will be discarded by thu judges : DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
