ears the The Kind You Have Always Bought of Ignature CharM FIFTY YEARS IN MASTER'S SERVICE. Interesting Ordination Anniversary Exercises In Falling Spring Presbyterian Church. There was a remarkable gathering in Falling Spring Presbyterian church, this place, Tuesday night week, of members of the Presbyterian faith from the Cumberland Valley and from all sections of the state to do honor to one of the leading men in the church, who has completed fifty vears of service in the ministry, Dr. James F. Kennedy, the blind minister, whose fame in Pennsylvania is widespread, and who is known all over the state, just as is Chaplain Millburn at Washington.

The celebration had a pathetic and unusual interest, for during the past forty years good old Dr. Kennedy at has been shut off from the light of day, yet has spoken and written tor his taith and his religion during all those darkened years. It was fitting that the celebration should be held in the Falling Spring Presbyterian church, really the cradle and now one of the strongholds of Presbyterianism in the Cumberiand Valley. The historic old church was crowded, not by theologians and churchmen, neighbors only, and friends good old Dr. Kennedy, who gathered to do him honor.

The exercises were under the direction of a con. mittee appointed by the Presbytery of Carlisle, and were presided over by Rev. William A. West, president of Metzgar college, Carlisle. Prayer was offered by Rev.

E. Erskine, Carlisle, and the leading addresses were as follows: Kennedy as a Presbyterian Author," by Rev. J. Agnew Crawford, D. "Dr.

Kennedy as an Educator, with Special Reference to His Connection with Wilson College," by Rev. Samuel A. Martin, president of Wilson college; "Dr. Kennedy as a Citizen," by Hon. John Stewart, president judge of the courts of Franklin county.

Mr. Kennedy responded in an interesting manner, showing profound appreciation of all the honor given him and proying that the sunshine had not been shut out from the inner man when he was blinded from the light of day. "Our blind preacher," as Dr. Kennedy is affectionately called by young and old without regard to church or creed, is a native of New Jersey, haying been born in Warren county, September 2, 1824. prepared for college at home and was graduated from Latavette while yet in his 'teens.

The study of medicine first claimed his attention, but in a few years he heard a louder call to the Master's field, so he went to Princeton seminary, and was graduated therefrom in 1845. The next year he was licensed to preach by the presbytery which that night celebrated his fifty years in the ministry. After a year spent at Princeton translating a Biblical geography from the German, he served three years as pastor at Berwick, Columbia county. During the next four years he was principal of the burg academy. Atter a vear's pastorate at Dickinson, affliction came upon him and in 1856-7 he was totally shut out from the light of day.

The sad blow did not discourage him, for he at once began teaching, and during the next twenty years he was protessor of ancient languages at the Chambersburg academy, and at Wilson college, this place. During all of his blindness he has kept up his studies and has written some books, which are regarded as standard authorities. Ancient and modern languages are alike at the command of Dr. Kennedy. He speaks and writes Arabic, Syrian, Hebrew, German, Latin, Greek and lAnglo-Saxon.

He has not been bowed down with sorrow by his affiction, but scatters sunshine and ness wherever he goes. At seventy- five Dr. Kennedy is still comparatively strong and well- preserved. After the exercises in the church a very delightful reception was held in the chapel. Dr.

Kennedy received hundreds of his friends, and refreshments were served by the ladies of the congregation. ROXBURY. Contributed to the SPIRIT by X. Y. Z.

A relic of the old South Writing School, the fourth public school established in Boston, still exists in form of a copy book which was once the property of Colonel Joseph Ward, a voung officer of the Revolutionary army. This book, still well preserved, contains many elaborate specimens of penmanship, not only the work of the original owner but pages written by the master of the writing school, Ablah Holbrook, and by John Fenno and William Molineux, young men prominent in the history of that period.

Under the title "Boston Writing Master Before the Revolution," in the December number of the New England Magazine, Mr. William Carver Bates writes of the men and times which the old copy book recalls, telling of many pupils of the South Writing School who were afterward distinguished in the Revolutionary davs. dealing especially with the important services of Colonel Ward during those stirring times. With his article are reproductions of rages from the copy book and also a portrait of Ward. Warren F.

Kellogg, 5 Park Square. Boston, Mass Three notable serials begin in the December number of McClure's magazine. "Stalky," the first of Rudvard Kipling's series of English school- -boy life, is as nearty and wholesome a tale of school boy ingenuity and adventure as one could wish to read, and, while complete in itself, leaves the appetite keen tor more of the same sort. The first of Miss Tarbell's articles on the "Later. Life of Lincoln" is an even more distinguished beginning than the first of Mr.

Kipling's stories. Finally, we have the first of a series of papers by Captain Mahan on "The War on the Sea and Its Lessons -a contribution to the literature of the recent war that, coming trom a member of the Strategy Board and the highest authority on the science of naval warfare, cannot fail to be read with eagerness In all parts of the civilized world. The number derives a Christmas quality from its frontis. piece, "Shepherds Abiding iu the Field," painted at Bethlehem, especially for the magazine, by C. K.

Linson; and from two excellent Christmas stories. Pennsylvania Bankers Elect Officers.

Some Foolish People allow a cough to run until it gets beyond tne reach of medicine. They often say, "On, it will wear away," but in most cases it will wear them away.
