PRICETOWN.
Rev. Sara L. Stoner preached at Price.
town, Highland county, Saturday even
ing, November 6, and Sunday morning
and evening. Owing to stormy weather,
| the congregations we're small, but as
| large as could be expected on such
day. Mrs. Stoner says: Our church
building at Pricetown is in very dilapi-
dated condition, but they are planning
to make all needed repairs. The out
look is discouraging, but industry and
courage sometimes work miracles. l
hope it will be so in this case"

'Ye olden time Rev. l. r. Henry

this occasion, his son, Arthur Henry,
read the sermon for the morning service.

lunch, and visiting. At 80 p. NJ. an
historical address was delivered by Rev.
j. F. Rice. 1t was truly love feast, and
an occasion long to be remembered by
those present.
CLEVELAND.
Rev. Carl F. Henry. the pastor of All
Souls Church, Cleveland, gives US the
following interesting budget of newe:'
1.-The latest addition to our machinery
is a full supply of Church Harmones
New and Old We have used the books
only one Sunday, but they promise to be
exactly what we have long needed. The
sewing school for girls, held every Sat-
urday afternoon, gives evidence of being
very useful. At it's second meeting,
twenty three girls were enrolled as pupils;
many of them are from very poor homes
where they are not taught the womanly
art. We are holding teachers and
prayer meeting every Friday evening.
The Study Club meets twice month, and
is doing good work. Strangers are present
at all our church services, Gods in his
heaven, and alls well with the world. -
A few more years of faithful work,
such as Bro. Henry and the Cleveland
friends are doing will place organized
Uniyersaism ON a firm foundation in
| Cleveland. Until that time we trust our
| friends throughout the state will freely
lend substantial encouragement.

Rev Eliza F. Turner has gone to her
home at Clifton Springs, New York, for

begun popcorn sales" on Saturday
