TO STAY FOR TWO DAYS Advance Agent of the Forepaugh-Sells Circus Was Here Yesterday and Arranged to Show June 18 Will Sunday in Thi6 City. After caroming all around Richmond for these many days, and just when everybody had given up hope that the city would be hit, Richmond at last 'finds itself in the orbit of a circus. There was a far-off sniff of ; sawdust in the air yesterday, when a dapper-looking genteman stepped off a ; Pennsylvania train and proceeded to I do a little business in quick order with the city officials, and others who must ! be seen first when a circus comes to town. The advance man, for such was this individual, gave out the joyful news that the Forepaugh-Sells circus will be in Richmond, Monday, June 18. Even more joyful to the small boy is the announcement that the great tented aggregation will Sunday in Richmond, thus giving two full days of unalloyed pleasure.

TO BE USED HEBE Ritualistic Services at First and Second Presbyterian Churches Hereafter. BOOK NOT YET ARRIVED IT WAS ARRANGED BY DR. HENRY VAN DYKE AND WILL REVOLUTIONIZE SERVICES IN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES. A new prayer book, called the Book of Common Worship, for Voluntary Use, and arranged by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, one of the leading Presbyterians has been issued and will revolutionize services in the churches of this denomination in America. Only the Presbyterian churches belonging to the assembly known as the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America are affected, but as this branch Is the largest, the greater per cent, of the churches are concerned. The First and Second churches of this city, are affected, and th soon as the new books are received the services will be radically changed. No System Heretofore. Owing to the fact that there has never been any systematic form of service in the Presbyterian church, but each pastor conducted his service according to his own wishes, it was agreed at a meeting of the Presbyterian General Assembly several months ago, to draft a book for forms which should be followed by pastors if they wished to do so. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton University, was chairman of this committee and in his report not long ago, he presented a book which is very similar to the one in use in th Episcopal churches. Forms for a regular Sunday service, special Sunday, dedications, f. I .era" I marriages, prayer meetings, are .ill set forth in this book and will be followed by the majority of pastors, although it is optional with the ministers. Members Must Learn. Heretofore there have been several such books in uso, but none of them covered the field of this one. Those in us3 were arranged by Dr. Herrick Johnson, Dr. Hode or some other prcrainont man in the church and wTe all different. The purpose of the hew book is to have a similarity in all the services in the churches of this denomination in the country, so that a pastor going from one church to another can follow out his old customs and practices. ; The new forms will be put into use here as soon as the book ..Xives. Members of the church will be expect ' ed to become familiar with the servici es as is the custom in other churches '. where set forms are used. The Rev. ; Graham stated last evening that the ' new form of worship will be received favorably in Richmond. He said that one of the several books containing ' forms had been in use before, to a llmtied extent, but the advent of the 1 new book will revolutionize his services, in some ways.
