L. ". Association OF M. II. churdh.

L. ". Association OF M. Il. Churdh.
On Monday last the Lehigh Valley
Association of the Methodist church,
held its quarterly meeting In the NJ. K.
church, Mauch Chunk. The President,
Rev. William 3. Wood, occupied the
chair. This organization was effected
several years ago for the purpose of se-
curing the united effort Of the various
churches of this denomination in this
valley, in holding annually, or when-
ever it might be deemed best camp
meeting, as also to promote their respec-
tive interests, and is composed of pastors
and laymen.
at the last meeting, 1t was decided to
hold a camp-meeting, in Dr. Linder-
mans woods, near Lehighton, CON-
mencing July 21st and continuing until
the 2Sth. At the meeting Monday last
an Executive Committee and Board Of
Control were chosen, who will have
charge of the camp, in connection with
the regular officers of the Association.
On these committees the pastor of the
M. E. church and Messrs. Daniel OLE
wine and William Kemerer, of this
borough, we're appointed, as also Rev.
Mr.. Townsend, of Packerton.
The Executive Committee will hold
meeting, In Bethlehem, on the Goth
inst, to perfect arrangements for the
camp, which al already gives promise of
being success.
Being so near our town, the citizens
generally will doubtless feel no little
interest in it. OF late many members
Of other Christian denominations have
attended and participated in these de-
lightlul and profitable services held by
our Methodist friends in the tented
grove, for the churches are beginning
to recognize that all are one, and that
the prosperity Of one is the prosperity
of all.
The association, after having adjourn
ed to partake Of dinner at the several
homes to which the members had been
invited, returned, when subjects Of in
terest were discuss ed by various speak
ers. The most interesting discussion
was that on the question, How may
we most effectively promote the cause
of Temperance ?" This subject seems
to be to-day receiving such attention as
1t never before had, and being taken
up earnestly by pastors and churches
everywhere.
Among the exercises was the reading
Of an essay by our neighbor, Rev. w.
Coffman, on Mans need of future
life indicated by his intellectual and
moral capabilities.
Rev. j. 4. Swindells, who is one of
the most active members, was present,
and participated in the exercises. d..
At four p. NJ. the association adjourn
ed, having had both delightful and
profitable time.

A roof may be covered with a very
cheap shingle, andby application of this
slate be made to last from 20 to 25
years. Old roofs can be patched and
coated, looking much better and lasting
longer than new shingles without the
Slate, for
One.third the Cost of Re-shingling.
The expense of Stating new Shingles
Is only about the cost of simply laying
them. The Slate is FIRE PROOF
against sparks or flying embers. For
TIN and iron 1t has no equal, as IL ex-
pands by heat and contracts by cold,
and never cracks or scales. Roofs
covered with Tar Sh eathing Felt can be
made water-tight at a small expense.
The Slate Paint is Extremely
cheap! two gallons will cover 100
square feet of shingle roof, or over four
hundred OF Tin or Iron. Price ready
for use Is 80 cents per gallon, with q
liberal discount to the trade.
No Tar is used in this Composition.
On decayed shingles it fills up the
holes and pores, hardens them and gives
q new substantial roof that will last for
years. Curled or warped shingles, it
brings to their place and keeps then,
there. It fills up all holes in Tin or
felt roofs. and stops the leaks, one coat
being equal to five of ordinary paint.
The color Of the Slate when FIRST ap-
piled is dark purple, changing In about
month to light uniform slate color
and Is
TO all intents and purposes, Slate.
