young folks Visited Union Park. and
while enjoying themselves they were
accused by some rude fellow OF being
from the country.
We would say to that smart Alice that
those young people are not conntryites
but residents OF this town. They are
both Intelligent and accomplished and
we believe capable OF teachiDg that would

be of interest for him to know.
We think this town has as fine class of
people. both old and young as any other
town In the country. They are always

John Davis spent Sunday in Camden,
n. j.. with his sister. Mrs w. A. Purks.

The third verse OF the thirteenth chap
ter OF Mathew was the text used by the
Rev. VIM. p Taylor In Mt. Lebanon nj. e,
Church on Sunday morning, from which
he preached an able sermon. u proved
to be very instructive as we'll as Interest.
Ing. The Rev. gentleman is very popular
with his people, especially so with the
young people whom he takes a great in.
terest in.
The Epworth League meeting In the
evening, which was conducted by Miss
Miller. was largely attended. 1t was both
spiritual and refreshing. These meetings
are being very probably carrledkon by
the young people OF the church. notably
so by the young ladies'.
At the conclusion OF this service the
pastor preached the fourth OF o series OF
sermons on the life Of Joseph. The SER
mons are we'll delivered and equally we'll
received by the congregation. They are
spicy and to the point aud we think very
profitable.
II the weather is favorable on next Sun
day evening Mr.. Taylor thinks OF holding
an open air meeting down In the village,
at which large attendance la desired.
