A CHURCH CONSIDERATION.
An Important Event at All Saints Church
Next SUNDAY.

The congregation of All Saints Protestant

Rev. n. S. Ruison ID. D., Bishop of Central
Pennsylvania, will ofIicate at the service, as
sisted by Rev J. f, Powers, Archdeacon
of Pottsville, and probably several
other visiting clergymen, and the
rector, Rev. G. W. VanFossen. The
church has been undergoing extensive
alterations and improvements during the
past week and will be elaborately decorated
with spruce, laurel and flowers for the coming
event The occasion will be a jubilee for the
congregation, aside from the solemnity
attending it, Until few weeks ago the
members were discouraged. They were
without rector for eight months and the
interest rapidly diminished, Notwithstanding
| the earnest and faithful work of Mr.. Charlie,
Haskins, the lay reader. A leader in the
person of a rector was required to revive the
interest and spirit and since Rev. Van Fossen
has assumed charge very gratifying change
has taken place. The members have become

in great measure due to the new rector
Rev Van Fossen, who has worked with q
persistency and fidelity that wins favor out
