GREENvILLE, PA, July s,'7s.
H. PARSONS, JR., ESQ.,,


Editor Of the Elk Co. ADVOCATE:
DEAR SIR-For reasons, the North
ern Conference Of the Pittsburg Synod
of the Lutheran church, which had
resolved to meet in your town, changed
its base, and met in Saegertown,
Crawford county, Pa, on Tuesday,
June the 25th, and continued in sess-
ion two days. The usual routine
business was relieved by an excellent
paper on the question, "Who shall be
Appointed Officers and Teachers in
our Sunday-schools? ?" read by Rev. A.
H. Bartholomew, pastor loci. The
reading of the essay was followed by a
discussion of the question; most of
the members gave their views. The
prevailing sentiment was that church
members only should be appointed to
positions. inducements to Sunday
school scholars" was discussed, also
"Church Services"
An interesting item was document
from Ridgway, signed by thirty-one of
the most worthy citizens of the place,
testifying to the character of Rev. L.
Brenneman, as citizen and clergy
man that his self-deny ing labors were
both acceptable and successful, and
that he is peculiarly adapted to the
work in Ridgway. Conference was
glad of this testimony, and made a
record of it upon its minutes, and re-
turned the paper to Rev. b., who
prizes it highly.
Many members of Conference had
been whetting up their appetites for
the enjoyment of yourmountain trout,
and regretted the change of base. But
the handsome way in which they
were entertained at S. ought to be a
full compensation for the loss of the
trout. At another time these " fishers
of men" may meet in your place, and
for a season" become fishers and
eaters of trout. Yours,
DoDRY,
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-07-11

means of grace would say, come
three Sabbaths, interest yourselves In
teaching, or In the lessons. After the
trial Sabbath is passed you will no
doubt say, surely this is good place
strange did not enlist sooner.
There are some who feel incompetent
and unable to promote the cause. If
this is your case to-day brother, sister,
hearer, do what you can, though it
should be but little. Many little
makes mickle." 1t is not the great
things that fill this earth of ours, but
1t is the mites and atoms; we are
taught never to despise the day of
small things; and though we may
have but one talent, we should inn
prove the one that more may be added
unto.
There are men of wealth i'm our
church that do not care to attend this
precious place to cultivate the little
immortal minds; they can assist in
clothing and fitting out poor children
to attend the Sabbath-schOul. Do this,
and your influence is felt for this good
cause. Cast your bread on the waters,
and not many days hence 1t will re-
turn TO you.
There is class will not forget to
mention-those that sleep away the
precious morning hours of this blessed
day. What pity there are any so
selfish that they cannot give one day
out of seven to the Lord. May we one
and all arouse from our dreamy slum-
Der, put our shoulders unitedly to the
wheel, and help this work along.
This is part of the Lord svineyard,
where there is place for all to work !;
the rich and the poor, the young and
old, the great and small. We need
none of us fear that we are not wanted
here, for all are called to do something
for the Lord. This is a soul-paying
business, in which all should engage,
as the responsibility of the children in
our midst rests upon us in a great meas
ure. If our Saviour, while upon earth,
could take little children in his arms
and bless them, this certainly must
have been an example to initiate. You
that have never made the Sabbath
school speciality, enlist next Sabbath
in this God given cause, attend faith
fully to this means of grace, and at the
close of the year, if you can say you
have not enjoyed pleasant hours in
this capacity, it will convince me that
your profession is an empty bauble,
like sounding brass and tinkling sill
yer.
Parents, if you wish your sons to
shun the barroom and its associations,
and your daughters to choose chaste
and refined companions, exhort, en-
treat and hold out every inducement
for them to attend the Sabbath-school.
Last, but not least, can any of us
say we have performed every known
duty in the fear of the Lord, when we
have neglected this part of worship?
May God help us all to do His will,
And every duty to fulfill.
That when our labors all are DER,
Well dwell with God and sin no more,
Mrs. HATTIE RAUGHT.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1878-07-11

EVENINGS July ,lsr. % AND sp, '7s

EVENINGS July ,1sT. I'd AND 3D, '7s.
Woods Philadelphia Farce and Bur.
lesque Co. gave three entertainments
on the above evenings. On Monday
evening, July LIST, the performance
was not up to the standard, and the
audience left the hail in anything but
q pleased condition Of mind. Mr..
Wood appeared before the curtain and
stated that the Company had travelled
from Philadelphia, being up nearly all
the night before, and were In tired
and exhausted condition, but prom
ised better things the remaining
nights.
Tuesday evening the programme
called for the burlesque on "School, /"
and two farces, "Same as Last Sea-
son." and "smith's and Brown :" the
company adding the "Black Statute, I"
an amusing farce not on the bills.
The audience were kept In an almost
continual roar of laughter from the
time the curtain rose until 1t fell, and
even then IL seemed as though all were
ready to break out again at the least
provocation, and when the curtain
rose again the provocation was ample.
At the close of the performances the
audience retired in the bestOf humor.
and all voted the evenings entertain
ment success.
On Wednesday evening "A Kiss in
the Dark" I" A Quiet Family" and
Helen's Babies" were the three very
amusing farces, to which those who
attended were treated, and if laughing
makes one fat, the audience that list
ened and laughed on this evening
must have taken on a very large
amount of corpulency, for they nearly
killed themselves laughing.
Although the general performing the
three evenings was good, and excellent
OH the last two evenings, that of Mr..
James Howard must be set down as
entitled to more than ordinary men
ton. His Dutch songs and funny say
ings received hearty applause, and
again and again was he recalled before
the footlights by a more than delighted
audience. Mr.. Howard has signified
his intention of organizing troupe to
visit Ridgway this fall, in which event
we have no doubt he will be greeted
with large audiences.
