The vacation of the Junior Christian
Endeavors is now over and they will
assemble next Saturday afternoon for
their first meeting in September.
The last of the Fresh Air children
raturnpA RI THAR nitu hnpooc Last Mouda-
being as plump and rosy as two weeks in
the country could possibly make them,
and not a few tears we're shed at the
parting, for their Innocent prattle had
won for them loving f,ieDds in their
benefactors, whose hearts bltd at the
thought of sending them back to the
a and misery of their city homes.
The experiment of bringing Fresh Air
ton has proven and is voted a success,
and those who opened their doors to
these little ones feel amply repaid for the
trouble given them.
AS the days of September have come,
the young people anticipating another
year away at school, are seen busily
packing their trunks, preparatory to their
leaving home. Three young men,
Addison Gilbert. Stephen Hitchner mud
VIM. r. Miller have already gone to
commence their college course at Gettys-
burg, while the Normal girls leave next
week. Although these young people are
sorely missed in the Christian Endeavor
meetings, Sunday school work. etc., yet
they are cheered by the hearty handshake
and best wishes of their fellow workers
given them in parting.
The sermon Sunday evening was
especially intended for those leaving for
school, their pastor taking for his text
the words of David to his son, Solomon,
Take heed now for the Lord hath
chosen thee to build him a house for a
sanctuary, be strong and do it." Many
times have they been inspired by words
from his lips, and o as they are about
to leave home to encounter the trials
peculiar to school life, he brings to them
the warning, "Take heed now" and
gives them his last charge, BE strong
and do it,"
At the last meeting of the w. q. T. U.
the members were cheered by the presence
of Mrs. Patterson, County President,
and Mrs. Bassett, County Superintendent
of the Department of Health and
Heredity. Mrs. Bassett read a paper on
the subject of her department, which was
interesting and instructive. This was
followed by helpful suggestions from
Mrs. Patterson. The officers of the
society we're re elected. The next meet
ing will be held on Thursday afternoon
of this week. Mrs. B. NJ. Ellis. State
Corresponding Secretary, will lecture for
the society on The twenty third of this
month,
