viii Commences.
The old skating rink at Eleventh and
Monroe streets presented a lively scene
last night Not less than two hundred
busy workers were at work putting
up some rustic and some artfully pre-
pared booths and decorating them
with gaily colored chintzes and mus
1ins, erecting arches, making lattice
work running rustic post and rail
fence, across the rear of the room to
divide OF the restaurant, and tue red, |
white and blue eolors were being flung
to the breezes everywhere.
Nearly every NJ, L, church has
booth, some OF them two, each vieing
good naturally to trim them up the
most tasty.
Everybody seemed to have the spir-
It Of the work and all who could were
nimhly handling tack hammers, saws
and hatchets. The great arches lead
Ing TO the Ice cream garden are most
beautifully entwined with evergreens
and the inside when finished will 10 a
park in miniature. All this industry
and activity in Methodist circles are
To help sister church out OF a debt
that sits like an incubus upon its
shoulders.
That sister church Is Wesley NJ. Il.

churches and the weak churches have
responded to her appeal and have all
Joined In the labor of love that is now
going on in the Old rink.
Last evening, a representative Of the
REPUBLICAN went into the rink and
meandared around amongst the lnhy-
, rinth OF booths and chatted with the
willing workers. Those attached to
one booth had nothing but the most
friendly feelings and words of com
mendation for those attached to other
booths. Little Goodman church, that
has the great big grocery store booth

churches.
The different churches while proud
OF their own organizations are but one
In spirit, and have but the one purpose
