and the very best of order prevailed The
library was in charge of r. Il. Weldon,

is the outcome of Il happy idea of Rev.
MIR. -Bulla, the pastor of the church, and
the community at large is in Il great
measure responsible for the establishment
of it. 1t seems that during the recent
tent meetings the people in their generos-
ity subscribed about $50 more than was
actually needed to defray the actual ex-
penses of the meeting. This money has
since been used in the way of buying
books and paying subscriptions to anlim-
Der of journals ana papers. The reading
room is in the chapel of the church, where
long tables with chairs are arranged for
the benefit of all who wish to spend an
hour most pleasantly in searching
through the current literature of the day
and a number of good books which have
been secured for the room. Among the
periodicals to he found on the tables are
the current monthly magazines, weekly
home papers, such as the Baltimore
Christian Advocate the NJ H. Church
paper, "Epworth Era Youths Com
panion, Scientific American, RAMS Horn,
llarper's and many others, including the
city dailies, which are displayed to an adj
vantage. Among the books seen on the
library table We're Moodys and Spur

people of the whole city. Everybody is
welcome to 80 in and spend an evening
proitably. Sometimes as many as forty
young ladies' and gentlemen are in attend
ance. Anyone having good literature
(which they can donate towards this enter
prise can find II place for it by applying TO
Rev. Mr.. Bula. He will also gladly re-
ceivc donations in tine way of money from
any who desire to assist in purchasing
