Christian men yelled themselves hoarse
applauding him."
CHICKEN PIE.--A very enjoyable chick
en- pie and Ice cream lawn social was held
at the Nj. +. parsonage last Friday. Bet
ter chichen pie was never eaten by an
editor or Methodist minister on circuit,
and the ice cream was just the opposite to
the sociability, one was cold and the other
/ warm. The attendance was good and the
receipts faattering.
