METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

On March l, a series of meetings will be held in the Methodist church here which will mean much to the good peo- pie of Long Hill if the services of the two lady evangelists, Miss May Frost and Miss Fanny Simpson, are accepted in the right spirit. Wherever these young people have been their work has been nightly blessed of God in the gathering in of souls to His Kingdom. Miss Frost is an earnest, elC Quent sneak. CT, a young lady highly educated and brought up in a home of refinement. Miss Simpson is the daughter of a Methodist clergyman and since her childhood has been an earnest student of music. Her talent as sOlOist was largely sought after, but she renounced the concert stage for the work of gospel song, and those whose pleasure it has been to hear her say that old tunes have new mean ing as she slngs them. On Sunday, March l, is expected the first meetings will be held, and afterwards every even- ing and possibly in the afternoon for two or three weeks, Saturdays excepted.
 Arrangements are being made for a praise service to be held in the Method ist church one week from next Sunday evening, February 16.
 Rev Mir Gurney expects to assist in some special religious services held in Strattord during portion of next week.
 Rev s. A. Sands of the Newfield Methodist church of Bridgeport occu- pies the pulpit of the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon ext, in exchange with Rev Mir Gurney, who breaches for him in the morning.

THE BEE wishes to express it's grati- fcation at the success which attended the lecture given by Rev Lyman Abbott, D. D., in the Town hall, Januury 23. While the lecture was not all that could have been wished in it's financial return to the promoters of the entertainment course, 1t was most decided literary success; as a specimen of pleasing and instructive address from the lyceum platform, It Is hard to see how Dr Ab- bott's lecture could be surpassed. The last entertainment in this course which is being given under the auspices of the Mems Literary and Social Club will be the concert by the Wesleyan University Glee and Mandolin Clubs on the evening of February IS. This Is popular en- tertalnment in every sense of the word there Ia no person, in whatever line his taste may run, but that will be delighted by this concert. The music of college boys is of q peculiar sort it holds a field all It's own. The sentiment Of the songs Is not deep it Is of that racy, anappy, flash-and.fire order that, without any effort on your part, puts you in good humor and keeps you there for some tImes after thq catchy asrs nave aled

THE LATE MRS LEMLE FL SANFORD.

THE LATE MRS LEML FL SANFORD.
 The funeral of Mrs Lrmuel Sanford was attended from her late residence or Wednesday, January %, at 1.30 o'clock
 Notwithstanding the fact that for many years she has been au invalid and led d very quiet life, she had by no mean@ lost her interest in or her affection fir her native place and her large circle of friends. Well educated and well read, her vigorous mind WAS in no way dimmed by the three score and ten years that had passed over it, and no event of public in terest at home or abroad transpircd that did not claim her attention. Loved, a. q respected by ali who knew her, it was not matter of surprise that so many friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one who WAS so deeply mourned by all who knew her. The CT. vices were conducted by her pastor, Rev c. F. Luther, assisted by Rev $. G Law of Staten Island. Mir Luther spok4 briefly but very feelngly off he beautifu! Christlike life that had been lived in our midst, reaching out helping hand where ever it was needed and touching so many lives, always to give them an upIift and an inspiration. His text was, "To live is Christ, to die is gain" and no theme could have been more appropriately chosen. MT Law followed with a very touching tribute to the memory of his friend who for a quarter of a century had been in deed a "MOther in Israel'' to bimself and his family. The music was very btauti fully rendered by a quartet choir, the hymns being "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and Abide with Me" Miss Williams also sang by special request the Scotch song "I am far frae my hame." At the close of the service she was gently and reverently borne to the cemetery across the street by her only son, J. B. Sanford, her sons in-law l., W. Randall, H. s. o. born and w. Barlow Hill and her two younger brothers Arthur and Albert Hill, and there laid to rest under beautifut covering of palm leaves and roses, ern- blems typical of the enduring sweetness of the life which has passed from ouf sight but which has left it's influence like benediction over the whole community.

One of the early leaders in educa- tionaI interests in the West has just died, Rev pr George F. Magoun, the founder and for many years president of Iowa college at Grinncll, Ia. The institution over which he presided for so many years and W ith which his name will al- ways be unidentified is the oldest col lege in that state. It was founded in Davenport in 1857 by an association of CongregationaIists but in 1860 the in- stitution was removed to GrinnclI where it grew in strength and breadth under Dr Magouu leadership. One of the notable things about it is that i~ doors were opon to womei in 1857. In 1882 the half d"zeu buildings of the eel lcEr were wiped out by H tornado, but thosc were speedt}T replaced ny bctteo ones. This WAS after DC Magouu's re- tiremcnt from the presidency. He wa- recognized throughout the Cor grcgo- tional denomination IS a strong man, and was of striking presence and patri- arrhal, kindly manner.

 It is rumored, and rumoTed so loudly that it is generally believed to be fact, that on last Saturday Peter Agnew closed the bargain with the directors of the South Britain creamery whereby he becomes owner of the creamery property at Stepney Depot. He was here on Mon day making arrangements for the filling of the ice house, and will put in new ma chinery at once and begin the making of an excellent quality of butter. MT Az new has reputation for his butter $ sake, having made an article that took the medal at the Worlds fair when be was with the Glover Farm creamery al Bedding. MT Agnew also worked Sage" butter for time and now pro- poses to try his hand at making it for himself. If his business management proves to be equal to his faculty for put ting up a good article of butter there seems no doubt but the Stepney cream cry may soon be in a more prosperous condition than ever.
