surprise 20 a sabbath school suPerIn-
tendent.

The Sabbath School at Middletown gave
their superintendent surprise on last Friday
evening. The school met 10 devote the even
ing to singing exercises. After rehearslng
several pieces, led BY Mr.. Jesse T. Billmyer
the beloved and worthy superintendent Mr..
Billmyer, ignorant Of the intentions OF the
Sabbath School, was politely requested TO re-
tire for a short time, with some others, who
entertained him whilst preparations we're
made. After few minutes they were iavlted
TO come in, and, wonderful TO behold, there,
spread on a table improvised for the occasion,
were beautiful articles Of glassware, towels,
haudkerchiefs, hosiery, toilet soap and plate,
a chair rug, aud other articles too tedious 70
mention. Imagine Mr.. Bllmyers surprise
when Mr.. Lewis Rowe, in few appropriate
remarks, on behalf Of the school presented
the whole to him as q token OF their respect
and as a reward for his services as supern
tendent during the past two years. Mr.. Ball
myer, in his reply, said that he could not re
ceiye the gifts as q reward for his labors, as be
already was more than paid for them 10 hear
ing the children singing the beautiful Songs
of Zion, y which be himself had Taught them;
but as token of their respect he would aeeePt
them, hoping still more 10 merit their appro-
baton in the future, and be sincerely hoped
that all present would be enabled 10 merritt the
appreciation Of the great Master on high, so
as to receive from His hands the right to en-
ter into His glorious kingdom. Altogether,
the evening was an enjoyable one to all pres
ent, and certainly not to be forgotten. Never
was secret known to so many SO well kept
