ing. The music was a repetition OF that

The Secretary and Treasurer, Mr.. Ann
strong, read very encouraging report,
showing nearly $500 raised during the
past year and good increase In the aver
age attendance.
The report OF the Superintendent, Mr..
w. A. Greene, was very cheering, being
in part a summary of the growth OF the
past ten years. Among the interesting
facts stated by him, we gather the follow
ing: In tue ten years of his superinten-
dency, 119 members of the school have
been added to the church; 20 Of them
during the past year During these ten
years, there have been Is deaths among
the scholars Of the school. From 1883 to
1887 inclusive, 1t is remarkable, that there
was but one death In the school the next
three years there were deaths; in '9l
eight. and in '92 SIX The largest average
attendance for the ten years, was in 1890,
when 1t reached 22l. The largest single
attendance was in 1891, viz, 25S. The
present membership of the school is 324.
The Pastor gave short talk and eight
scholars received rewards for being pres
ent every Sabbath during the year.
It has been the custom Of the Superin-
tendent (witheut promising beferehand)
to give presents TO each one who has not
been absent single Sunday during the

The Harp Solo by Signor Cortese, was
charming, and showed him to be must

The lecture by Rev. DR.. Stocking, was
very entertaining, and the stereopticon
pictures that illustrated it were most ex-
cellent.
The Double Quartette was composed Of
Lambertville's best singers, and such
music as they gave made one wish that
they might often hear this combination oil

The solos by Mrs. G. NJ. Dilts, were
finely sung and greatly delighted the audi

ment was pleasant feature.
The Rev. F. II. Cooper was announced
for an address, which was to be short
one. The speaker had spoken few witty
sentences, closing with denunciation OF

the stumbling of a member OF the commit.

was torn down, and 10 and behold
there stood live goat, high and lifted
up, and collection Of all the implements
which the speaker protested were not
used in Masonic ceremonies. The speak

evidence seemed to be against him.

the many favorable comments heard by
