morrow afternoon will be held at $3.50
O'Clock in the Sixth-street Methodist
Church. Mrs. Maggie Van Colt will be
the leader. The meeting will be opened
with an interesting song service. At

ance, and several conversions were re-

The beginners class in algebra are
progressing well in mastering the rudi-
ments of this branch of mathematics.
The members have about completed
the subjects of multiplication and di-
vision. Glasses are being formed in
mechanical and freehand drawing.
The association gave a delightful en-
tertainment on Thanksgiving eve. The
exercises opened with music by the
Monday Night Orchestra. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr.. Sturtevant, pastor
of Emmanuel Baptist Church.
The High School class in gymnastic
work gave a creditable exhibition OF
what they have accomplished in the
line of physical culture, and the Misses
Dean rendered a piano duet in pleasing
style. Four young men gave an ath-
credit to circus performances.
The People From Away Back then
had an inning. This feature of the oc-
casion proved a realistic representa-
ton of life in the Puritan settlements
of the early Colonial period, when every
inhabitant carried a gun, and when the
monotony of going to church was re-
lieVed by SkirmisheS with the Indians.
The act sparkled with ebullitiOns OF
wit. The performance of a wedding
ceremony, at which the officiating par
son claimed the right to kiss the blush
ing bride, awakened much interest
among those who are contemplating
matrimony, and presumably some
who are not. The warwhOop, paint
and feathers, butcher-knives and tom
ahawkS of the savages, whose sudden
appearance from ambush in the cellar
put an end to the wedding hilarity, was
greatly enjoyed by the small boys who
had been storing their minds with
blood-curdling tales of the wild and
woolly West.
The Educational Department of the
Y. NJ. G. A. wishes to call public atten-
ton to the course in the study of cleo
tricity which is about to be placed in

National School of Electricity, and is a
practical system of instruction in the

structor, apparatus and textbooks,
and the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation will furnish room, electricity
and the usual privileges of membership

cure this course there must be a certain
number of pupils. It is desired that all
