A SUNDAY SCHOOL RECEPTION.
st. Paul's NJ. Il. Sunday school at his
Beautiful Residence

Jose ph Pyle has been elected afternoon
superintendent of St Paul's NJ. E. Sun
Gay school, and should his life be spared
Tor twenty-seven years more II Is safe to
say that he will continue to be st. Paul's
Sunday school Superintendent through
all that time. 1t must not be supposed
that Mr.. Pyle in all that future would be-
come inactive on account OF increasing
years, for while such a man as Joseph
Pyle lives he must be active or ceate to
live. During these twenty-seven years of
active Sunday tchool superintendency,
MIR. Pyle becomes more efficient in his
work.
AS his field Of labor grows his ideas en-
large, and he finds opening up to him
broader planes for future usefulness, re-
Quring increased zeal and extended
thought. Mr.. Pyle loves Sunday school
work and his genial face never beams
with more happy delight than when sur
rounded with four or five hundred
scholars and teachers intent on the study
of tie international lessons and grow en-
thusiastic while listening TO his practical
illustrations and in singing the beautiful
airs OF modern Sunday school music.
fortunately Mr.. Pyle is In such COM
Portable circumstances that he can afford
to contribute literally to the pleasure and
qualification of his school. With o
splendid modern mansion surrounded by
acres of spacious lawn, shaded with
chosen trees, he thought within himself,
why should not his Sunday school enjoy
thete luxurious shades aud his hUspitali-
ties at least once year?
To think of this with Mr.. Pyle, was but
TO carry the thought into execution, and
| about SIX years ago commenced these
magnificent and pleasant lawn parties
that are still increasing in favor. Every
| year he has officers, teachers and adult
scholars to come ou. and en. .oy an even
ing on his lawn, or in his spacious man
sion, as they tee proper, his greatest
pleasure being to furnish his guests With
music from band and Refreshments
wit, out stint
Last night was the annual reunion of
the Sunday school for this year, and it
was attended by about 40 members OF
the school. The great lawn was bril-
liantly lighted up by hundreds of Chinese
lanterns depending from lines stretched
from tree to tree. All over the lawn
were seats lodated for the accom- moda-
ton OF the guests, who spent the time in
pleasant chats, promenading and harm
less plays.
The mansion was thrown open and was
brilliantly illuminated, aud over The en-
trance to the broad porch was the word
WELCOME" In brilliant gas jets. At an
improvlstd d music Itand was John Wall.
smiths band, which, led by Mr.. Wall
smith himself, diseoursed sweet and ex-
hilarating airs during the whole evening.
