"It took the old lady and the three girls and two stout darkies to pull the old man off. "He never did explain why he did it, and Jim didn't ask any questions, but the next morning he told his mother that while his furlough wasn't out, still he knew his country needed him and he couldn't stand to stay at home under those circumstances, so he left his blessings for the old man and took the first train l'or the front."?Atlanta Constitution. .

H. G. Wells in Grand Magazine. iBStslUtin Sfprtett. A service of infrequent recurrence in Kingstree was that at the ; Williamsburg church last Snndaj evenidg, the formal "installation" of a pastor, when Rev. E E Ervin i was inducted into that office according to the rules of the Presbyterian order. The commission represent ing Haimony Presbytery consisted of Rev. Wilson J McKay, D. D., Rev. R LGrierand Elder D James Winn. Upon 6atisfactry answer to i the constitutional questions ou the part of the pastor-elect and congregation, the presiding officer, Dr. McKay, preached a sermon on the topic, "The Gospel Ministry," after which Mr. Grier delivered an appro priate charge to the pastor, aud Dr. McKay to the people, about the correlative duties of the contract now assumed by solemn mutual vows. The sermon, which was of unusual length was also of exceptional interest. Our popular audiences, generally disposed to fix the satisfac otry limits of an entire service at not much over an hour, gave interested I j attention on this occasion?though | some had to stand for more than two j hours until the pastoral bonds were (declared established and the bene-j 1 dicton wus pronounced The choir beg in the service with : I the anthem, "'While the Earth Re| maiiiriii,'' ami b sides the hymns sung ly-the congregation, there were so.os in relief of the addresses: Gouno Vl'ti') Cr?ss of Calvary," i * % i by Mis.

The occasion was somewhat ot a reunion to some of the chief agents , in the- service, Mr. AVinn, Dr. McKay and Mr. Ervin?w hose ancestors were among the founders of this historic church now more than 170 years old?were also college mate*- at Davidson in the Reconstruc I Ul/11 \JM VP, To some few, the idea of this, special service was not apparent, setice Mr. Ervin has labored here already for two and a half years and has been looked upon as regular , pastor. Up till now be has been "stated supply,"?in ^jclesistical terms, a relation expiring and renewable (upon request <xf the preacher and people), by authority of the Presbytery at its regular annual or semi-aonnal session. One effect of the new order is to defer all consideration cf the time limit to future developments. It is a good wish simply to bespeak .for the contracting parties a continuance of that prosperity which baa attended them a8 colaborers hitherto.
