gestion offered Wednesday by Mr. Folkes,
save that the various committees are
specified. ■ .". .' • ..
Mr. Edwards, in advocacy of his substi
tute, spoke briefly but earnestly, point
ing out that it" would deprive no member
of his prerogatives in any way and would,
meet and overcome all the objections' to

committee. It is, lie said, the natural
and logical method of taking up the leg
islation to., be ' considered. . '
The house, on a viva voce vote, adopted
the substitute, with but. one or two dis
senting voices, and this action was or
dered communicated to the senate.

State to of 'to advantage : those
lands delinquent for taxes and onwnicn
the taxes due exceed. in value: the realty.
Of course,- no one -will buy. these .lands
with the liability for this excess taxation*
The bill proposes to have a value placed
upon such properties in order that tne
State may dispose of them and t . draw,
some revenue therefrom, rather than
have their fictitious value constantly In
creasing, yet without a cent of revenue.-
The general opinion is. now coming^ to
the' view held all along by many that
the session .will be a- long one. probably
extending, to, or even exceeding, eight,
months. Many of the members donot co
incide in this estimate, but generally it
is believed that they .'have not realized
the volume of hard work to be done, and
which must be done, carefully. ; The two
houses" arc now, about ready to apportion
the work among the committees, and when
they get to work there will plenty to do.

Considerable merriment was create-a in
the House by the action of the presiding
officer (Mr.' Murrell. of Bedford, m the
chair), in calling attention to the rules
rnquirinsr members to remove their natb
during the session. It was during a lull
jin the proceedings when the body wao
waiting idly, and Mr. John Jackson, a
former member of the House, was stand
ins in the main aisle; talking to a mem
ber and, thinking the House;in recess,
had his hat on. Of course, the motion
was merely a little jest at the ex-mem
ber's expense, and it was greatly enjoyed
by The "House. The members began to

constituent on Uie score or his scarcity
of natural head covering, while Mr. Ca

A GRACEFUL EXPRESSION.
His Fellovr Members of the Honst
Presented Silver Service to Dele
"gate and airs- Gravely, • ' '• ■.._:
j Immediately, after- adjournment of ' the
House of -Delegates -yesterday the mem
bers remained in their, seats for a little
ceremony which proved a pleasant vari
ation of the monotony of parliamentary
routine, - •' " ' . .
Itwasthe presentation on the part ot
his 5 fellow-members" of the house to Dele
gate W. H. Gravely and! his bride, of a"
handsome- set of silverware. The dele
gate from" Henry and his fair bride oc
cupied a seat/to the left. of the rostrum
on the east side of the hall.
Colonel George C. Cabell, Jr., of Dan
ville one of the most graceful speakers in
the 'house, made the presentation, and
spoke In his most charming and felicit
ous vein. In a spirit of -bright badinage
he humorously referred .to the days of
Mr. Graveley's bachelorhood and ac
cused him of . reading the most tender
passages from" Romeo and Juliet, Tom
Moore's poetry and Lucile and quoted so
liberally from these works as to give rise
to the suspicion that the speaker himself
was all too familiar with tho poesy of the
gentle passion. After this;pleasa.ntry, Col
onel Cabell paid an eloquent, earnest,
tribute 'to the member from Henry, and
expressed in happy terms, the . esteem in
which his fellow members held him and
which found small expression In the
gift >of ; silverware which he thereupon
presented on behalf of the members of the
house. The speaker's references to Mrs.
Gravely were particularly graceful and
well phrased -■• - ■
Mr. Gravely, considering the embarrass
ment of the moment", made a most
pleasing and bright response to the pre
sentation, vying in humor with the gen
tleman from Danville. He could only ex
lain the cruel references of the gentleman
from Danville in welcoming him into the
order, of benedicts on the theory that
misery loves company. The steel of his
wit has found its way to my heart,' said
Mr. Gravely, but there is no" sting, and
his pleasant allusions have more more
healed the wound. I am glad to say that
,the county of Henry is at last represented
in this body: In .this connection I am
sorry to note that the county of. Albe
marle is still unrepresented and that the
speaker's chair is ; still, vacant., These
references to the bachelor members pro
voked great laughter. •'
Mr. Gravely happily referred to the leg
islation pending in the, body by informing
his fellow-members that he: did not now
need a steering committee to lead. him to
the. matrimonial altar.. He referred to the
pleasant associations of the . house and
the ties of friendship formed there during
his service, and expressed in earnest and
lifting language : his appreciation of the
expression of the esteem: of his .fellow
members, and, in concluding. expressed on
his-own part 'and on,. the part of the
member from Henry", their appreciation
of the handsome gift.
Both speeches .were received with great
laughter- and applause. >
Alter the .- presentation - nearly • everj'
member present went rorward and was
presented to Mr 3. - Gravely. Mrs. Gravely
stood the ordeal with charming grace and
dignity and quite won the hearts of the
members by her cordial acknowledgment
of the greetings of her husband's friends.

end last night at 10 o'clock, after ? one ? of
.the most successful meetings in the. his-,
tory of the Disciples of Christ in Vir
ginia: The meetings have all been largely
attended; the interest on 'the part. of rthe
delegates and visitors has been wonder
ful: the fellowship has been of such a
character as to cause the' convention to
be termed one of brotherly love, and the
members- will go awny greatly strength
ened and benefited for the worK of the
coming year. ... ,
The past year has been one of the best
in; the history of the society, and the new

ance in ha nd for immediate \ises and with
upwards of $fi,ooo In a permanent trust
fund. .
The election of officers was had yester-

Dr. P\ D. x'ower, of Washington, de
lighted an immense audience. last night
with a splendid address on "Evangeliza
tion." The effort was characteristic of
the speaker, and was up. to the'standard
expected of him. It contained much good
advice as to the manner in which the
church of to-day should be conducted."
After Dr. Power had concluded his ad
dress. Rev. Carey E. Morgan set about,
to secure pledges sufficient to pay-the-saN
ary of the financial agent of the society,
for the coming year.: The responses were
liberal and ready, and the $1,200 paid to

concern to the State Board. . .

of his district is good church buildings..
Rev. C. O. Woodward; pastor of the
Cfci'istian church of Petersburg: said that
the cause of his people.in" that city "had
been injured -by a -former, pastor," ; who
had assumed a bad attitude, toward: theY
sister denominations.- He said that- this
pastor had, a- habit of telling people of
other churches, with whom .he come -in
contact that . they were 'on their way to
hell.'.' This sporit of -bigotry had done

against his. little congregation, but, said

"Love for God," he said, "is an indis
pensable prerequisite to successful meet
ings; but," ho remarked, ". system and
skilled organization are essential elements

but we must work ourselves and get
others to work if the cause is to have free

tb inspire the school with a Keen; sense
of reverence." s: The superintendent should
be' selected with a view to his capacity
toVimpress the scnool with this Idea of
reverence. The -.teachers, by their own
demeanor of character, should slve to the
schools an example to. follow after. The
song service may do much to cultivate
this virtue. Avoid; as much as possible
the frivolous selection of songs, and
prayers should always be short and sim
ple.. ■ . - : ; "'■ .'- ■ '.■■'. ' " '
■■■ The importance of Sunday-school worK
was discussed by Rev. F. P. Bullard. He
thought this perhaps the most important
service in the church. Preachers are wont
to' think their sermons the most impor
tant, but. often ; the Lord Jesus is made
much more real in the work of the Sun
day-school. The seed sown in the soil
of "the infant mind is more likely to take
effect and produce V fruit than the ser
mon, intended-for the more advanced in
life. « . ■ '- : ' '■"■' : " ■ ; - : - •
Mr.' B. F. Johnson addressed the con
vention on Sunday-school work. He ar
gtied that every .class should have a ta
ble. The programme should be changed
each week. He said the Bible should be
taught even to exclusion of the Quarter
lies. '■-', The name, ; .he said, should be the
Bible-school.
Quite a number of, questions were asked
Mr.' Johnson and answered quite intelli
gently, showing: great familiarity with
the work.
Some Convention Chat.
Dr. Power, who; delighted the large au
dience last night, is pastor of Garfield
Memorial church, in Washington. For
twenty-eight years he has been located
with this congregation, turning a -7eaf
ear to calls from the best churches in the
country among the Disciples. He is
trreafman, and has enough titles— that he
does not use— that would make the ave
rage brother happy. He is simply F. D.
Power, and his friends frequently refer
to him as "Fred Power."
Ray. D. S. Henkel, pastor of a group of
small churches in the Y Valley. ; was for
many years a practicing attorney. He
represented the Tenth Senatorial District
one term in the. Senate. Mr. Henkef is
accomplishing a great work in Harrison-,
burg, where a new church has been estab
lished during the past few months.
: Rev. L. M. Omer, for several years pas
tor of the Third Christian church An this
city, before the present edifice was erect
ed," is attending the convention. He is
located now at Asheyille, N. C.
Revi B H. Melton, who began his work
last Sunday as"; pastor of the Marshall-
Street church, Is. rapidly growing in fa
vor, and made many new friends during"
the convention. The Disciples of the city
are expecting great things from him.
Rev. Daniel E. Motley, president of the
Christian College, which • was established
at Washington last summer, spoke last
night in the interest, o* —3 college, which
is making all the progress that could be
hoped for.
Rev. Landon A: Cutler, ono of the oldest
preachers in the State. In point of service,
is enjoying the meeting. Mr. Cutler min
istered to Marshall-Street church some
years ago,- and is well and . favorably
known in the city.
Miss Ellen Kent, ; who will direct the
deliberations, of the women's meeting to
day, is a graceful-. presiding officer, and.
the sessions -of the c: W. B. M. are al
ways greatly enjoyed by those .who at
tend therii.
The attendance. "upon the -convention
from outside of the city is about 250, just
about" the same it was last year.
The visitors, greatly enjoyed the address
yesterday afternoon made by Mr. B. F.
Johnson during the " Sunday-school ses
sion. Much was expected "of. Mr. Johnson,
and his efforts have been greatly lauded
since they" were made.
The past year has been a great one
with the society. It has had IS men at
work during the year. "( They worked 3,103
days. - and . preached 1.910 sermons, and
made 4,350 visits in their work. The total
number of additions were 1.170. Thesefig
ures. of; course, only include the result of
the work done by men paid by the so
ciety, and not that by others in the State,
whose work, if reported, would probably
bring the whole number of additions»up
to S.OOO or* 4,000 for the whole year.
Rev. H. D. Coffey. one of the evangelists
of tho society, preached £35. sermons dur-.
ing the year, and reported a total of
271) -additions through his efforts..
Evangelist W. H. Boor, who is well
known in Richmond, and who has been
preaching _for several years at -Martins
vllle, Henry county, has recently been
called to Bluefield, W. Va. He has not
yet announced what he will do with the
call. -
The State Board enters the new fiscal
year with a balance of $721.23 on hand in
the general fund, and nearly $7,000 in the
trust fund.
■^The society has on hand a sum sufficient
for the purchase of a; lot for a new
church in Staunton, which, in all proba
bility, will be established during the com
ing year.
