Lyon, the occasion be inp si he stated in bis preliminary re marks the 57th anuivertyar ol the organi zation of the society. The sermon was based on the new testament narrative of Dorcas, whom Mr. Lyon spoke of as the originator ol female benevolent societies in the church. The sermon was an up propriatA one; it presented the needs cf uch work touehingly and in bi'i utiful at times almost poetic language. At its conclusion '.he c ilh 1 1 ion usual at these annual meetings followed. The amount realized was Previous to the sermon the report of the Treasurer of the Society lor the year 1 893, was read, it was as follows.

The ladles ae piaint themselves with the needs, the ciivuiiiManccs, the worthiness, Ac., ol those whom they assist, and what passes through their hands is thus assured of being rightly placed and of giving the greatest benefit possible. The society in worthy of the highest en cpui'ugement and hearty co-operation of all, and as oppnituni.y presents it should receive it. May Remodel the Church Presbyterians have under considera tion the rcm.Mlclliiig ol their cliuieh so that the pulpit will be at the rear in stead ol towards the entrance as now, and the slope of the Hour be changed to cor respond. New pews would also be put in. Something over $500 is now availa ble for the purpose and if after further investigation the deacons aud elders con sidir it feasible to proceed now they will submit the matter to the congregation for their approval and action. Many have long desired this change to be made. Having to face the congrega tion as they enter is beycnil (pjestion trying to some timid, nervous people especially those who have not beeu ac ustomcd to It anil this no doubt mili tates against the congregation's growing with the rapidity it otherwise would. We believe the change would work well and hope all funds needful for having the work performed will be forthcoming. Coming and Going Air. S.

At the Union meeting of the several city churches Sunday night in behalf ot the Fcinale Benevolent Society there was read the following tribute to the former esteemed head of the organization whom death removed last year: During the year just passed, the Fe male Benevolent Society has been called to mourn the loss by death, of its Presi dent, Mrs. Susan Dudley, who had held that position tor more than 16 years, and had won tho love and spnroba- tion of all its managers. She was more widely acquainted with the poor of the town and vicinity than any other member f the Society knowing wen, meir cnaracier, circumstances antt necessities, and while full ol sympathy for them in their sorrows, and ever ready to extend help to them in their trials. yet her good judgment and clear insight rendered her less liable to be ini Dosed upon ty pluasible falsehood than many otnera. Thus, she wss eminently fitted for the position - which she held so long, and which she filled so entirely to the satis faction of he fellow-workers. "-.'"" .

One of our citizens handed us the above clipping and informs us that it is only within a lew years ago that the custonif ringing the nine o'clock bell was discontinued in Wilmington, and in Charleston S.
