CHILDREN's MEETINGS.
On Wednesday evening, the 22d of this
month, chldren's meeting was held in
the Evangelical Church at New Mahoning.
About 8 o'clock in the afternoon, in compa-
ny with about fifteen persons, we rode up
the valley with the purpose of having an
enjoyable time feasting in a grove before
the meeting. OF course we had our baskets
with us; we'll, later, with good things such
as cakes, pies. boiled eggs, etc., we stopped
in beautiful grove about three miles from
the church, and after spreading our eatables
in one long table on the bosom of mother
Earth, we prayed, and then followed the
imposing ceremony of eating to our hearts
content. We remained in the grove about
three quarters Of an hour, and left it happy
and contented. The meeting in the church
was opened by singing the hymn, "Abund-
antly Able 10 Save" and prayer by W. c.
Weiss. The first address was delivered by
Rev. Miller; he presented the Importance
Of the Sunday School cause, and the i'm
provemens made in persons by the Chris
tian religion. Levi WentE, Of Millport,
spoke of the advantage gained by becoming
Christian while young. Rev. Stautfer, of
Mauch Chunk, spoke of the way to heaven.
On Saturday evening meeting was held
at Big Creek. After prayer and song John
Arner, of Weissport, spoke in very excel
lent manner from the words, Remember
now thy Creator in the days OF thy youth"
The speaker gave number of very excel
lent rea sons for now remembering our Gre
ator. j. X. Rickert spoke to the parents
and children in the German language.
Rev. smoyer supplied tho place of Rev.
Miller, and spoke of being tired.
The LEHiGHToN cyan. CHILDRKN's SERVICE.
According TO previous announcements,
Rev. Smoyer preached children's sermon
to the Evangelical Sunday School on last
Sunday evening, on the subject of "Little
Sins." The speaker took his text from
James iii, 5: "Behold how great a matter
a little FIRE kindleth." He commenced the
discourse by telling how great fires COM
mence. BY block of wood saturated with
water and the impossibiity of lighting it
with match lie showed why it is impossi
BILE for little boys and girls to commit great
sins at once. He then built an imaginary
fire of shavings and sticks Of wood, repre-
senting evil company, evil words, evil ac-
tions, selfshness, disobedience to parents,
lying, swearing, etc. He then showed how
easy it is for person to commit great sin,
after committing little sins, and spoke of
the progressive nature of sin, The service
was very interesting and instructive.
