METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES, A social entertainment and 10-cent SUD-
 per was given at the house of Mrs E. I. Stone, last Friday evening, by the ladies
 or the Methodist church. All appeared
 satls lied except number whose con-
 sciences told them they were getting more
 than they paid for, so they went deeper
 than dime into their pockets. It took
 so well with the people that it was de- cided to have them every two weeks so as to furnish pleasant evenings enter tainment and at the same time help the church raise funds to pay for painting and furnishing the vestry. The next supper and entertainment will be given at the parsonage, next week Friday evening, January 20. Supper from to s 30 p. m. A free entertainment will be given after the supper and it is hoped that all whose pocket-books will admit, will bear this in mind when they drop the change into the box for their supper. A discourse on 1.-The resurrection" was ably presented, last Sunday evening, by the pastor, Rev F. B. Adams, illustrated by three bottles.
