MILTON.

A new regime has been inaugurated at the
NJ. E. Church-instead of the congregation
being compelled to wait fifteen or twenty
minutes for the arrival of the minister as
heretofore, he is in the pulpit often before the
Dell has ceased ringing the second time, and
services begin Immediately thereafter 1t
was quite amusing OH Sabbath morning to
see some of the members arrive after the
first singing and while the morning lesson
was being read. This is business, and the
congregation will soon get used to it. The
latest innovation at this church is a new $50
c cornet. 1t was first introduced on Sabbath
morning, and is a notable addition to our
heretofore splendid music. Mr.. William
Starkey is the player. The amount neces-
sary for its purchase was donated by the
members of the church and the friends of
the congregation.
Rev. f. II. Mullineaux, the new NJ. P.
minister with his family-which consists of

deineanor, and we have no doubt that the
Conference in making this appointment had
especial regard to Mr.. Mullineaux's avoir-
dupeis and noble physique, as prominent
factors to enable him to battle.wth the ardu-
Gus duties ofthis charge. He preached his
Introductory sermon on Sabbath morning at
REYNOLDS. and i'll the evening at Milton.
Young maple trees have been planted in
front of the NJ. Z. Church, which, should they

gers around the church door on this excep-
tionally sunny side of the way.
