1t is a very common thing with our
Sunday school and Public-schOol chill
dren when one Of their associates and
schoolmates die Tor them to organize
themselves into committees and tramp
the streets begging any they meet for
pennies to buy flowers to do "honor"
TO their dead companion. II the pa
rents need help and this is the only
way to secure the necessary aid all is
well; otherwise all is wrong. If these
children really desire TO honor their
dead associate let them take their own
means and do so. We have discovered
that it is in some instances only a
means to accomplish another end.
We hope that the parents OF such chill
dren who desire to honor their associ-
ates will give them few pennies or
else keep them at home. 1t is not our
purpose TO impune the motives Of any
who really mean right and act honora-
| BILE but there are others who take ad-
vantage of such things and impose up
on the general public, and often bring
dishonor upon themselves and parents
RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
Rev. Richard Wells administered the
Lords Suppes TO his large and appre-
ciative membership at the EbenezeI
last Sunday evening at $3.50. The ex-
ercises were lofty and inspiring
The scene was grand and sublime. The
pastor and people seemed to move by
the holy spirit. Best of order and the
sweetest songs characterized the en-
tire service.
The Second Baptist Church held
most excellent services during the en-
tire day. Rev Kenny of Philadelphia
preached for the congregation, and
4 gave great satisfaction.
The Sunday School is working or
very smoothly under the superintend.
ency of Mr.. John Taylor, who has tax
en- hold like an old horse
The services at the 9TH Church were
up to the usual good order. The pas
tor preached at 11:30 agood sermon
and administered the Lords Supper a.
3 80. At $3.50, Rev.Van Brunt RnC
wife filled the pulpit and spoke earn
estly OF their proposed missionary triI
to Africa very soon.
OUR sUNDAY-sOHooLs.
We are pleased to report that mos
of our Sunday-schools are workin,
! harmoniously and very successfully
This is more than we can say for al
our churches.
WE heard AND SAW.
! We heard that one of our churche
had q regular black-choke-Z Zebra com
psny entertainments few nights ago
Yes sir, the whole company was RICH
upon the platform just having littl
! fun-just little no harm sins.'' Tn
J. company just smoked cigars on tn
h church steps, and one or two priviI
eyed dignitafies stood in the vestibul
and pulled away just for fun and t
n make little money. But you tell
: brother squarely to his face that h
n has treated you wrong and deman
4 your rights and you will be ewampe
a upon like a hawk upon a chicken.
. Oh how airy that sister was at churc
. few nights ago. Her best fello'
4 must have rumpled her feathers.
n When a woman becomes airy an
! fiirty it is true sign that beauty an
Il sedeteness have left. Madame, retail
; noblest and bravest men will at a
h times do you honor.
