The autumnal services in the M. E..
Church on Sunday were somewhat of a
departure from the usual routine, but of
an enjoyable character. The decorations
were new and novel, the entire pulpit
recess being filled with wild plants n
grasses, forming a very pretty back
ground. The sermon was fittingly appro-
pirate for the occasion. At the close the
president of the League gave kind words
of greeting to the senior members of the
church, on behalf of the league, and
Their threw tie meeting open for testi-
mony, which was heartily responded to.
The oldest member is a sister, Mrs.
Ridgway, having lived to see SO summers,
and is enjoying good health. 1t surely
was a ray of sunshine for all those whom
the service meant to honor, and many
expressed themselves with feelings of
appreciation. The choir sang in the old
time way, the pastor lining the hymns,
which was greatly enjoyed. The evening
service was in charge of the Sunday.
school, but the storm greatly interfered
with it, and the service will be given next
Sunday evening.
