On Sunday, July II, 1892. there was one
of the greatest outpouring of people that has
been at Greenwood Chapel, near New Wind
sor, for Il great number of years, the occasion
being the Sabbath School Harvest Home, to
celebrate the goodness of God in the profu-
sion of his bounty in giving us such an album
dant harvest. The hour named was two
o clock, but before the time arrived the house
was filled to overlooking, even standing room
was at a premium, and enough on the outside
to fill another chapel still larger. The ser
vices were conducted by Elder &. w. Sell
hamer, of Uniontown, assisted by the pastor
in charge, Elder j. A. Saxton. The exer-
cises commenced by singing, praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow led by the
choir, followed by prayer by Elder Seilhamer;
singing, Army of the Lord; address by Mr..
Jesse Garner, Of Linwood; recitation, The
Two Rain Drops, Ernest Winters; singing,
Let us Build on the Rock; class exercises by
eight little girls, Crown, Sceptre and Throne;
singing, Will Uphold Thee; address by Mr..
Charles Devilbiss, of New Windsor; singing,
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms; recitation,
The Harvest, Miss Maggie Crawmer; singing,
Saviour Guide Us; recitation, Winding Your
Own Business, Miss Cora Hamburg; solo,
with organ accompaniment, 1t Will Never
Grow Old, Miss Sallie Fritz. Able actresses
were delivered by Elders Saxton, Seilhamer,
and Mrs. Jeremiah Greenwood, who has been,
and still is, successful worker in the Church
and Sabbath School for over forty years.
The altar was decorated with the fruits of the
season. Miss Perlie NJ. Ecker, of Oak Or
chard, presided at the organ. Miss Ecker
is a skllful musician and the service she rem
dered on this occasion was received with
great favor and was highly appreciated. The
singing was under the direction OF Mr.. Harry
Hyde, of New Windsor, who very ably con-
Quoted it, and was the recipient of numerous
congratulations from the pastors, members
of choir and the congregation, in fact the
speakers, choir and all interested did great
credit to themselves and received many
thanks. Thus another Harvest service is
over, which will long be remembered by the
many who were at Greenwood's Chapel.

Where thou hast gone shall co.
Where'er thou diest die;
Together in one mutual grave
Our senseless dust shall lie.
Our souls-ah what shall part our sonls
In ties of love eDtwined;
They will defy all spells and chains
That ever death can bind
Yet not severed, we, though parted,
Still in truth our souls are one;
Though oil earth the gentle-hearted
Hath her blessed mission done.
Still for me, in sweet communion,
Lives the form that seemeth dead;
Love was once our chain of union.
still with love our souls are wed
BY HER HUSBAND.

Shipley Items.

Mr.. Levi T. Frizell, who was so severely in
jured ON the 4th inst, is convalescing.
The pleasant weather has afforded our far
mers ample opportunity to store away their
grain and hay, and some have been cutting
their oat crop, which is only ordinary. Haul
ing out manure and blowing for another grain
crop, is among the farming orders now.
Peaches and berries seem very scarce here
so do apples, with few exceptions. The corn
and potato crops are promising well, and if
seasonable weather continues large yields
may be expected
Wheat threshing has not commenced here
yet, SO we can't say how the yield per acre
will be. Some say the grain is full crop,
while others only believe it to be a two-thirds
yield
The health of our community is very good
at present, generally speaking.
On Thursday afternoon the residence Of
John Kestner, on the Ridge road, about half

Newark, N. j., for $500. The fire was oc-
casioned by defective hue.

IN MEMORIAM.

The recent death of Miss Emma X. Fowble. a
faithful teacher in the Sunday School of Grace
Evangelical Lutheran Church, of Westminster, is a
sad loss 10 the School and the Church. Her charac-
ter was lovely, and of her it could be said
None knew her but to love her
None named her but to praise"
Taken away in her youthful days from fond ard
indulgent parents, the comforts of home and the
society of dear friends everywhere, her fate may
indeed seem sad. Nevertheless. whilst fondly re-
Numbering her. we may find consolation in the fact
that her Christian character warrants us in believ
ing that she has found home above, far exceeding
any that earth can give
We offer To her bereaved parents our heartfelt
coincidence. Also direct that this tribute of re-
spect be recorded in minutes be requested to be
published in the papers of the city, and that copy
be sent TO the parents of the deceased.
Reported by the undersigned committee TO, and
adopted at meeting of the teachers of the above
