Rev. j. G. Hagey, recently assigned to
North Capitol NJ. e. Church, occupied the
pulpit yesterday morning and preached q
powerful sermon 10 a large congregation.
Surprise was general on the announcement
that this reverend gentleman had been sent
to such n small station, but the Methodists,
and especially those in authority, clearly
understand that Methodism is an estab-
lished fact in this community that the
Church is growing daily; interest in its
success is seen and felt; the heads are be-
coming aware that there are people of Or
binary intellect in small churches who are
capable of digesting and approaching dis
course of ability, and these facts, apparent
to the presiding elder, DR.. Deale, caused
this learned preacher to be appointed for
this year, which will give impetus at
this important time. We congratulate the
little band who form this society in having
such gifted man sent to administer unto
them. As result of the days work yes
terday the treasurer reports o double
amount in the collection. The Sabbath
school had six additions, and two united
with the church by letter and one into full
connection. A good beginning for the con-
ference year. A reception will be rendered
