TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

For several years the NEWS has pub lished Rev Dr Talmage's sermons. You have had ample opportunity to form an opinion of them. Now we want to know whether you prefer the sermons to serial stories. We propose to let you choose between them. Some of our subscribers have told us they do not care whether we publish Talmage's ser mons or not, because they will get the sermons anyway in their religious papers. Some have told us they prefer serial stories. We shall publish which ever tho majority of our subscribers prefer. Please write us postal stating your preference. If we do not hear from you we shall take it for granted that you "dont care cent" about the sermons; and in that case, after req sonable time, we shall commence the publication of serial stories.

PINE GROVE CAMP MEETING.

At the hour the NEWS forms closed on Wednesday afternoon of last week, the Rev B. O. Warren, of Pawling, NY. was preaching. Some think his was the best sermon preached at Pine Grove this season; and some think that Rev A. E. Barnett's sermon was the best, all of which goes to show that the preaching this season was better than usual and it is difficult to tell which was the best sermon. The Rev W. A. Mackey, of Rhinebeck, N. T., preached the We'd nesday evening sermon.
 THURSDAY
 At 10. 30 a. m. the Rev Dr A. K. San- ford, of Five Points, New York city, gave an address on "Fifty Years Work in the Sums of New York city"
 The Rev Dr. Clymer of Pittsfield, Mass, preached in the afternoon from Matthew XXVII. 22. "What shall do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?'
 The Rev M. R. Lent occupied the pulpit Tn the evening.
 FRIDAY
 At 10.30 @. m. the Rev Dr Curtis, oi Bridgeport, preached from the text re, corded in John I. 4
 The Rev A. E. Lord, of Hillsdale, N Y preached iu the afternoon. His text was selected from John III. 16.
 The Rev J. S. Ladd, late missionary to Bulgaria, now of Ancram, N. Y, preached at 7.30 m. from John III 30 NOTES
 The meetings, all things considered. were the best in years; the preaching oi an high order, the interest great. A close estimate gives 200O as the at tendence for Thursday; and Friday, the closing day, 300 or 400.
 Fault must be found with the singing and the children's meeting. NIT Harvey may mean well at heart, but his theory is all wrong. People will not sing hymns, sacred 10 memories of their re ligious past, in gallop. The hymn, were simply butchered in cold blood Two of the clergymen, for the good o their services, were compelled to checf him. and by Thursday the singing wa. better.
 The, children's meetings can hardly be termed such unless a sop thrown tt them at the opening of the meeting may be construed as such. A child ren's service should be for the children Rev Evans made the mistake of assum ing that what the adults enjoyed th' children do also. Let the cbildrens meeting be for the children, and if th' adults need an extra meeting give it tt them. We trust another year thes, serious faults will be rectifed. Eithe new leaders or new ideas and then no only greater interest will be awakened but larger results obtained.

A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known far and near that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An tad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" (Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without a gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us confi- dentialy, in an off hand way, that writing ''ads" out of business hours Is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,-well, we are not slow to take hint, if it is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful if we should really get 1t this softening disease, we mean, J and have it get real deep ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go Into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, l. @. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate, be just, be considerate be charitable, be liberal mind ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.
