"uucontined" in school house hall
Monday night Of last week. Thirty
five couples, old and young, from sew
enty to the tender teens, inclusive,
were present, and part of the fun was
that the old moss-bauks, who were
! young when sin is alleged to have
been less plenty than it now is, could
dance better than the buds.
Henry Hector, son of John Hector,
and Miss Celia Bowie, youngest
daughter Of Augustus Bowie, were
married on Thursday Of last week.

the family of Edward Gennett have

The death of Mason Pierce, after
only weeks sickness, has removed
one of our Oldest and most respected
citizens. He was also one of the
most rugged and hearty. The afflic-
ton falls heavily upon Mrs. P. be-
cause she has been an invalid fol-
about six years and was suffering
from heavy cold at the time of hel
husbands death.

and full fellowship seems unreasonable,
but it was not done in haste.
Her father is minister and professor
of Greek at the California college, and
when his daughter expressed desire to
Join the church he made an exhaustive
inquiry as to the precedents in such
cases, after which the authorities OF the
church examined the child at length
and unanimously decided that she was
intellectually the equal of the average
child of twelve years, and in the under
standing of religious truths thoroughly
qualified for membership. In her ia
theirs correspondence on the subject of
infant capacity he received accounts of
many curious cases.
| Rev. S. F. Smith, Of Newton Center,
Mass, author of the hymn America"
told of the conversion of child of four
wears within his knowledge, followed by
a consistent and active Christian life of
forty years. In the writings of President
| Edwards an account is given of Phoebe
| Bartlett, who professed conversion at
| four years and never dishonored her pro-
| fession. Rev. Galusha Anderson, of
Il
Granville, o., told of an apparent con-
version at three years, followed by a
Christian life. Only twice, however, in
the United States have children of six
years been admitted to membership be-
fore this case. Gladys was baptized (by
immersion of course) at evening service
and formally admitted in the presence
of very large congregation.
Which Could Be the Better Spared?
In a certain village tailor was
condemned to be hanged. The in
habitants sent a deputation to the
Judge and modestly pleaded that his
death would be a public inconven-
fence, since they had but this one
tailor. Spare him to us, therefore,
and if you want to hang somebody
we have two carpenters, and can
easily spare one of them.
This was the kind of humor that
once entertained the king and his
courtiers. All the Year Round.
