pairs to Its Building.
Today the Centenary NJ. e. Church ID
$4,700 richer than it was last week, and q
debt Of $500 has been wiped out. This
financial transaction took place yester-

promise, proceeded to thoroughly reno
vate the church, beside building an ex-

make harmonious the effect of the re-
pairs. The old organ was sold and a new
one was purchased.

worshipers yesterday morning, and the
rain did not prevent the pretty new pews
from being we'll filled. The Rev. II. S.
Pellmeyer, of East Orange, preached the
sermon. and took for his subject, sSons
of God" The sermon was very able and
eloquent.
When this had been finished and the
choir had rendered excellent music, the
Rev. Mr.. Krantz told his congregation
that the time had arrived to pay for what
had been received, and in a very short
time he talked s4.700 out of the pockets
present.
In the afternoon a children's jubilee
service was held in the Sunday school,
which consisted of a service of song, and
in the evening Presiding Elder d. r.
Lowrie, ID. D. preached ON the subject of
"Christ the Central Force of the Uni.
verse"
The music was good at both the services.
There were solos by Mrs. Mary Tallman
Watson and Ensign and Mrs. f. NJ jeff
cry, Messrs. Watson, Davis, Coles and
Jeffery. Mr.. H. E. Macomber is organist
and Mr.. +. M. Jeffery, musical conductor.
