The silver anniversary of Grace M. e.
Church, a full account of which appear
ed exclusively in these columns two
weeks ago, was begun on Monday last
with a concert by the De Moss Family.

fist Church Quartette. Wednesday was
devoted to a reunion of Methodist Class
Leaders of Jersey City and Thursday

the M. E. Book Rooms, New York.
Last night, however. vas the biggest
Reunion. and the little frame church on
Tonnele avenue was crowded to the
doors to hear an address by the Rev.
NJ. E. Church, Newark. Representatives
from seventeen Chapters of the League
were present, and in honor of their visit
the church was draped with flags.
the Jersey City District Epworth League
opened the meeting with prayer. after
which DR.. Mac Nichol began his adj
dress. He said that the Epworth League
has sprung from the heart of the church
and there must be the hand of Provi-
dence in IT all; Conditions Of life out,
a necessity. A large percentage of our
young men are outside the church, and
for the purpose of gathering these into
the fold, the League was organized. To-
Gay the church, he said, is composed. of
two thirds women, and the remaining
third men. This ought not to be-. The
League which maintains the principle
that the church is a place for work and
not for rest. He critized those Chap
tiers of the League where entertainment
seemed to be their only object. This
is wrong. Every League is his brothers
keeper, and must strive for Heavenly
things as well as earthly.
DR.. Mac Nichol touched upon the his
tory of the early church and showed
its development into the BODY OF today.
His admirable address was intently lis
tened to and produced a great effect
on his young auditors.
