"Ye Olde Folkes" Social.

The social and literary entertain
ment given by the Epworth League
of st. Paul's NJ. 4. church to the
old people on last Monday evening,
was in every way success.
The altar and pulpit platform
we're tastefully decorated with beau
tiful autumn leaves and ferns. On
either side of the platform stood
small shocks of ripened gram, while
beautiful potted plants occupied
the space Immediately IN front of
the pulpit. These decorations
were very suggestive Of the course
of human life from the freshness
of youth to mature manhood and
old age in the yellow leaf and fully
ripened gram.
The church was filled with Ep-
worth Leaguers and their friends,
while the front pews were reserved
for the old people, who were there
in large numbers.
The singing was led by the church
choir, which was we'll trained BY
W. Ii Hagans, Esq, a veteran
chorister. The hymns used were
all old ones that we're familiar to
the congregations of long ago. The
songs were all inspiring and all
sang with a will.
Miss Margaret Miller sang as q
solo the beautiful gospel song, "We
will never say good bye in Heaven.
MIR. +. A. Thayer, the president
of the League, occupied the chair,
and in an easy md agreeable man
ner directed affairs. The opening
address was m sde by Rev. e. w.
Kepler, on behalf of the League,
7nA IN brief way contrasted the
:,nes of the fathers with the push
and hurry of this age of steam and
electricity, showing the importance
of organized effort on the part of
the young life in the church in
order to keep pace with these pro-
gressive times.
Mrs. F. A. Thayer read a very
beautiful selection appropriate to
to the occasion, after which Rev.
J. NJ. Davis, in very interesting
manner, gave brief history Of the
Methodist church in Oakland, from
its first class of few people in 1852,
until the present time. After
singing the doxology and pronoun-
cling the benediction, refreshments
were served in the lecture room of
the church, first to the old people
and invited guests, after which all
present who desired were served.
The evening will long be remem-
bered by those present as one of
real social enjoyment.
