METHODIST CHURCH NOTES

Rev k. r. Christopher, pastor of the Methodist church of Gravesend Beach Brooklyn, has been spending the last week of his vacation in Sandy Hook and vicinity, at the same time visiting an old time friend, Mrs Jane II. Copnelly, at the Mapleton cottage of Mrs Emily A. Ben. nett. MT Christopher visited the Metho- dist church on Sunday, August i, and preached in the morning on ''The raising of the widows son." Also followed Rev Mir Taylor in the evening in a few re- marks on the "Fearful power of the hu- man will" On Thursday evening, August 8, he delivered very instructive and i'm pressive address to our young people. The meeting was we'll attended and of deep interest to all present. Rev MT Christopher Is a great admirer of the beauties of nature and some of his hap piest inspirations and illustrations are drawn therefrom. Before leaving for his charge on Friday last he expressed himself as charmed and delighted with the gorgeous scenery of Sandy Hook and Newtown, our mountain slopes, ,our beau, tiful glens and our inland river walks not overlooking the beautiful cemeteries which he visited, all combining to make scene the most picturesque, rare and rich. Our friend left us with impres. sions that we ought to be "a God loving and happy people" the lines having fal' len to us in pleas mt places and having such goodly heritage.-[*
 The ladies' prayer meeting will be held next Tuesday at 3 with Mrs Thicket 1T Zoar.
 The praise services in the Methodist church are continued every Sunday even ing with apparent interest and good con gregations. ..

The August missionary meeting at the Congregational church will take a novel shape. Several members of the church have written to their friends or relatives who are stationed in mission fields in various parts of the world, ask ing them to give careful accounts of the country and their work. In this way China, India, South Africa and Brazil have been heard from. This is inform ation at first-hapd and possesses the added interest of coming from those who are known, not through names, but through the sympathies and warm ties of friendship and love. This meeting will be held in the Congregational church, Sunday evening, August p, at 7.30 o'clock. s-..- @=s ~

WHIST AT TAE GRAND CENTRAL,

A most enjoyable whist pIrty" was given at the Grand Central hotel, last $ Saturday evening.

There were II tables of whist which was begun at 9 and ended at II. Prizes were then awarded to the lucky ones. Miss Bessie Kssam captured the first ladies' which was ste ring silver belt buckle. The second was taken by Mrs Edgar Hawley and was pair of silver mounted side combs. The gents first prize was won by MT Andrews and was silver match safe. The second prize was taken by Pier Cummings of Bridge port, pair silver cuff buttons. An ele- gant lunch was provided by the genial prOprietors, Messrs Houlihan tG Kane, to which all did ample justice. Soon after the guests began to depart. All express ed themselves as having passed a delight ful evening. Much credit s due to pr Ten Eyck and those who assisted him in arranging the Stars and Stripes" in forming the canopy at the entrance, With the Chinese lanterns hung around, the effect was certainly very unique and pleasing. To the ladies who decorated and arranged the flowers too much can not he said in their praise. Surely there is ''jolly crowd" at the Central house and we wish them success and "many happy returns of the same.''
