Mr.. Widerman delivered the fore.
noon discourse ably and eloquently
to large congregation.
AT 3 D. m. the Epworth League ex-
ercises attracted an attendance which
filled the auditorium. Fine addresses
were delivered by Rev. Messrs. Porter,
Wright aud France.
The annual Sunday school mission
AIRY services closed the day. AT 7
O'Clock the spacious auditorium was
again filed with an expeetant audi
ence. Beautiful missionary hymns
We're sung by the school, interesting
recitations by the little ones and STIR
ring addresses by Rev. Messrs Ocker-
man, McKenny, and Widerman, made
up a rich entertainment for all present.
Ot course, the pastor, Rev. DR..
Leech, hitherto not named in this no.
tice, was present and in charge of the
exercises, and conducted them with
his usual skill and grace.
The result of the days effort was a
special offering of $l25 by the Sunday
school for that eeening. This, taken
with about 500 collection from the at
tending congregation and previous Of
ferings, swelled the schools contribu-
ton TO the missionary fund to 1896,
and this sum raised the combined Of
fering of church and Sunday school for
the year to $274.
The pastor informs the JOURNAL that
the offerings Of the church to the con-
ference benevolences for last year were
considerably in advance of those of
number of years gone by, the vexa-
tious debt having been couple of
years ago gotten out of the way. He
reports an additiclf of % during the
year to church membership on con
fession of faith.
Gas Engine Buiit tn Frostbmiy.-
Thomas H. Paul q Son have lust com
pleted a four-horse power gas engine
at their shops in this place. 1t is a
machine lately patented by l.. C.
Parker, of Kansas city, Mo-, and
known as the "Standard." AS motors
gas engines, while cheap as runners,
have not been universally popula, on
account of eccentricities OF behavior
occasioned by extensive and intricate
mechanism, as we'll as the varying
qualities of the fuel used. In this ma
chine, however, the inventor claims
that the problem of simple, econom-
ical motor has been solved 1t is com
posed of fewer working parts than any
engine yet made--no slide-yalves,
pumps, eccentrics, or delicate parts to

machine useless. Hence, this engine
is guaranteed to perform more work
with given supply OF gas than any
gas engine yet built. The inventor
and the Messrs. Paul, the manufac-
turerers, agree in saying that it will
operate with all kinds of gas. using

amount of friction is involved in its
operation. We hope the Messrs. Paul
will meet a deservedly great demand
for their new machine. They have
made arrangements with the patentee

deal Of. The other day it was in the
bakery and somewhat in the way.
George picked it up and put it in the
coal hod intending it to stay there un-
til his work was done. Georges
father meanwhile cautioned him to re-
member what he had done when it be-
came necessary to replenish the fur
mace. Time passed on, George grew
buster and husier, and presently the
fire needed coal. In the twinkling of
an eye the pup was in the critical sit

however, and George ierked it out in
less time than it takes to read about it.
