THE" PINEHURST OUTLOOK.
Nerticrw Inst fin inlay.
At the union services last Sunday
morning Hev. C. M. Emery preached a
very impressive sermon. He was greeted
by a large congregation of our villagers,
many of them being friend and acquaint
ances made here in former years. The
choir gave some tine musical selections,
noticable among which was the recitative
and aria kVe people rend your heaits."
and "If with all your hearts ye truly
seek me," from the oratorio of Elij.ih.'
which was very well rendered. The
service was greatly enjoyed bv all pres
ent.. The Sunday school was held immedi
ately after the close of the morning
service and was well attended. There
are now two large classes of the little
ones. The co-operation of parents is
earnestly desired in this branch of Sun
day work. The interest in the bible
class is constantly increasing. It was
led by Mr. Marnie last Sunday.
The Episcopal service at 3.15 was con
ducted by litv. Mr. Gregory and was
attended by a good sized audience. An
increased choir sang most tastefully and
lent additional interest to a very enjoy
able service.
The prayer and praise service at 7.15
p. m. was the most largely attended
service of the day and gave evidence of
the great interest taken in this pleasant
union of Christian people in the worship
of God in prayer and song. The meeting
was most elliciently lead by Mr. Sammis.
The following committee was appointed
to take charge of this meeting during
February : 15ev. Mr. Dickinson, and
Messrs. I'obinson, Sammis and Ulack.
Latitude and Longitude of IMiichnrst.
Assuming that the position of Pine
hurst is correctly indicated on the large
map in the Casino reading room, and also
on the map published by the State Board
of Agriculture, 1 find the latitude of
Pinehurst to be 35 degrees. 13 minutes,
and 5 seconds; the longitude 70 de
grees, 27 minutes, and 33 seconds. I
think each of the above points will fall
within the fence surrounding the village.
Some facts concerning latitude and
longitude may be of interest to those
studiously inclined. First, the number
of miles in a degree of latitude or longi
tude is not constantly the same. The
changes of distances in the latitude is
because the earth is not a perfect globe.
A degree of latitude a t the equa tor is about
sixty-eight and seven-tenths (G8.702)
miles, and at the poles is over sixty-nine
and three-eights (69.396) miles. A de
gree of longitude is greatest at the equa
tor, 69.16 miles; but it diminishes to a
point at the poles. The distance between
the 35th and 36th parallels of latitude is
about 69 miles. A degree of longitude
on Pinehurst's latitude is about 57 1-2
miles.
One minute of latitude is about 1 mile
and 48 rods. One minute of longitude
is about 306 rods and 14 1-2 feet; or 13
rods and 2 feet less than a mile. One
second of longitude is about 84 feet and
2 inches.
Having no records of the geodetic sur
veys at hand, there may be some slight
inaccuracies in the above; but 1 am con
vinced that thorough investigation will
find all the above statements to be
approximately correct.
