Tom Connor Post G. A. r. attended
services at the NJ. E. church on last

number of the comrades in the process
sion. The large church was filed to
IoVerhoWing. Not even standing room
INSIDE, and many stood at the windows
loutside during the entire service. Too
much praise cannot be given TO the
White Oak Glee Club, who under the
Ichsrge of their leader, George Howell,
furnished the songs on this occasion.
They were grand. After short ritual
Iexercises, Rev. G. III. Westfall delivered
the ablest and most satisfactory sd-
dress ever heard here. Itwas patriotic
from start to finish. He being the son
of a veteran could touch elbows with
the boys and in feeling way tell of
some of the great difficulties through
which they passed. We must say that
it was one Of the most successful and
interesting meetings ever held by our
post, and none can appreciate it more
than Commander Grace and the old sol.
diers do. We hope that for many years
to come the post may be permitted to
hold these meetings with the good sn6
loyal people of this place and vicinity
