terrain Journal has the following com
plimentary notice of Rev. w. Il. Cookies
opening sermon at the EastOD, Pa,

delivered. DR.. Cooke is one OF the
solid working men of the Synod, and
as preacher and pastor, one Of the most
effective or our ministers. His SER
mon was very impressive"

the intention to erect next spring.

ant manner in games and music. Mrs.
Frank Stanton, Of Wheeling, and sew
eral others rendered vocal solos, and
there were several choruSes and pleas
ing instrumental numbers. The affair
was very enjoyable throughout.

crowd will attend the Opera House next
Tuesday evening, TO witness the pre-
sentatlon OF the Worlds Fair pictures,
under the auspices Of the ladies' Of the

hearsals can attest.
