Huffham. At 10:30 the Ordination service began at the Mebane Baptist Church where were assembled the representatives of the Churches. Rev. B. V. Ferguson ot West Dur ham, who was conducting a series of meetings with the Mebane Church read the Scripture from second Tim. second chapter, and offered the opening prayer. The ordination Sermon was preaclied by Dr. Huffman, whose theme was‘‘Magnify Your Office.” Twas an inspiration to listen to this beloved “Father in Israel,” and surely he never spoke more ably and more touchingly in his earlier ministry. Rev. B. V. Ferguson delivered the Charge to the Churches. He urged the Churches to stand by their pasto-r in sympathy, trust, and prayer. Rev. Martin W.

Tis hava the privilege of sweeter service. The Congiegation was dismissed by A Greater Chanceilorsville On a stage of war ten times as large the British arms under General French appear to have been putting in executioii lessons learned at the military schools of Woolwich and Sadnhurst taker; from the campaigns of Stonewall Jack son in the War Between the Sections. When Hooker let down his gu-ard for a moment at Chancellorsville, it was Jackson’s great movement in flank against the exposed wijig of Howard’s German corps that put an army on the aggressive on the edge of rowt and capture. Had Jackson been able to resume command on the morning oi May 3, 1808, it is scarcely open to doubt thac he would have completed the destruction of tfce Union army. W'hat Jackson did at Chancellorsville in a day, General French is doing on a larger scale day by day and week by week. The belated history of the war will piobably explain the motives that prompted Genei'al vo*i Kluck to at tempt Inis march to the Southeast across the front of the allied armies. At this distance the movement is still inexplicable. It had the appearance of a stupidnty which the brilliant Ger man tactics thoroughly negatived. It had the look of a c^nfeemptuous dis regard of the eiietny which was en tirely incompatible with German thor oughness. It suggested as an alterna tive some deep plot of strategry which, if it exisfeed, apparently has been thwarted in toto. j What the practical result was has I War Cost and The Cost ©f War Preparations, While the greatest confhct of all the age.s, ROW raging in Europe, is bring ing home to the world as never before the stupendous enst of war, the In vestors’ Magazine furnishes some Mg* ure-s as to the cost of preparations for war which can not fail to impress the thinking mind. In the fifteen fiscal years that have elapsed since the opening of the e»r~ rent century, the eight great Powers of the werld have expended, we are told, upwards of $25,0t@,M6,00§ ®n military and naval budgets. The ex act amount is ^25,678,437,582, ef whiah $18,048,284,30 went for the mainte nance of armies, and $7,684,1&3,276 for the construction and maiRtenaHce of fleets. Tk« enormity of the sum C6>n- veys but little meani»g to the aver age mind, but its signikoance eaii lie bett^?r grasped when it is censidered that It represents an amoimt nearly double all the money there is in ttie world, gold, silver and paper; that it is five-eights of the val«e ®f all the farm lands in the United States; that it IS live times all the gold and silver mined in this country slnc-e the adop tion of the Declaration of Independ ence, and that it is twiee the total na tional banking resources of the United States.
