The Pennsylvania Tours TO CaIifor-


The wonderful popularity of the Pennsyl-
vania tours to the Golden Gate is best Illus
trated by the fact that the full complement
of ofpassengers for the first, starting on Feb
ruary 9TH, registered six weeks before the
date of the tour
The space in the first train being all taken
engagements are now being made for the
remainder OF the series. The second tour,
liked for March 4th. IS an exceedingly desirs-
BILE one, on account of the interesting route
travsrsed, as well by reason Of the fact that
its members are in California a. what many
consider the most dslightfni season of the
year. Eastern people who desire TO see the
Golden Coast in iEs most attractive garb
could not choose more desirable opportu-
nifty.
Names are being registered very rapidly
for the second tour, and those who wish to
make their going certain should apply at
once for tickets.
The magni6cently appointed train, pre-
senting all the comforts Of home or hotel. is
not the least conspicuous feature Of these
great transcoutinental trips

Never, perhaps, in the history of crime have

tally the bountiful harvest the past
year, why we should lift up our
hearts in gratitude to Hin who is
above and who has His eye ever
fixed upon the thoughts and actions
of men, and who ever watches the
workings of our hearts.
After the sermon collection was
taken for the benefit of the poor of
our town, after which the congre-
cation joined in singing "My Coun-
try IT'S of Thee" and the audience
was dismissed with prayer by Prof.
L. d. Clark. Everybody let feeling
