This church which is nearly completed, will be one of the handsomest and most comi modious in the C. and C. Union. Quite a large number from this and Camden comity at tended the session ot the Cam den and Currituck Union which met with the church at Whale's Head M a y 28-30. Though somewhat remote in its location and difficult to reach, nearly all ot the churches in the Union were represented, and the oc casiou was a pleasant and profit able one. The introductory ser mon was preached bv Rev. C. S. Burgess, which though we failed to hear personally must have been an unusually good one, judging from the many kind words of praise we have heard from others. Other min isters in attendance were Revs. Wood, Ferebee, Overby, Stal- lings and O'Neil. The next ses sion convenes at Powell's Point id October. There was service in the morn ing, a bountiful dinner served on the grounds, bustness meeting in the afternoon followed by preaching in the evening each day. Then there were strolls on the beach, gathering shells chasing sand-fiddlers, climbing sand hills, and other sea side fports. Among the places of interest we visited were the club-house which its genial keeper, Mr. W. J. Brumsey, took us through the Light House where Mr. Austin, the polite as sistant explained to us the man ner of keeping the light; and to Life Station No. 8, from which we gained a deal of information from Mr. Tesse Evans, one of the surfmen. A part of our number wae els teitained right royally at thim egant home of Capt. W. J. Sse. mons, keeper of the Light Houly To Mr. T. A. Pool, who so kiudm took us to the beach froel Church's Island back, we feel very much indebted for the op- portunity it gave us or sucn a delightful sail across the Curri tuck sound. The people here certainly de serve great credit, lor witn a membership of oi'lv about a dozen, they have built, fui nisped and finished a neat little church house, and now they are striving: for an organ for the church. We left Whale's Head Sunday morning at 8 o'clock to make connection with the Steamer Newton, at Coinjock, leaving there at 12, and after a pleasant voyage, and many thanks to the Captain and all on the "Newton" for courtesies shown our party, we separated for our homes, each carrying sweet recollections of their trip to the beach. At Coinjock, we stopped a few hours en route, and we must say that it is not a hyperbolical ex pression when the villagers say that "Coinjock is the garden spot of the earth," but it is a truth to be remembered by all who have shared the hospitality of the home of Dr. L F. Garren- ton, and met his accomplished daughters, Misses Alice and Sallie. Mo. NAGS HEAD HOTEL Opeij From jape isth To Sept. I5tl), '97.
