alton of the Shiloh Baptist church.
529la Linden street, and the repudia-
tion of her debts, and to make an APP
peal to the generous public and the
many white sister churches of this city
for help. 1t is in public circulation
that this church (Shloh BaptisD has
gone down, leaving all of hel creditors
to lose what she owes tnem; which is
a burning brand of disgrace to the de-
nominations with the numerical finan-
cial and intellectual strength mar
shalled in this city by the denomina-
tion.
We wish to state in honor of our
little church and the great denomina-
tion which it represents, and for the
benefit of it's patient and kind credit
ors, that this assertion Is wholly false.
The church has never decided to dis
band, but on the contrary has taken
a firmer and bolder stand for building.
We have, however, a debt of two hum
dred and six dollars and lightweight
cents (S206.SS) to be met. our spirit is
very willing, but our purses are weak
and our number few. We shall there
fore be forced to lean upon the gener-
Gus and strong arm of the public and
our sister churches of the city for help
to get through.
We shall soon have solicitors out to
collect whatever the public will be
generous enough to give us to enable
us to lift off this great burden of debt
that threatens the existence of our
church. With many thanks to the pub
lie for what it has done for us in the
rast, we ever remain yours for the
promotion of good government and the
diffusion of the gospel in all lands.
Rev. j. Russell, jr., pastor; p. II. Blair
clerk; j. Merryweather, trustee.

POOR DIRECTORS
WILL LEAVE TODAY
concluded from Page 81

lows: That each district present at
the next meeting special laws relating
to their districts; that proposed topics
for discussion and questions should be
sent early to the programme commit
tee in order that they may be properly
considered and perhaps included in the
annual programmes; that a committee
of three be named by the president
elect to confer with a committee from
the County Commissioners State as
sociation for the purpose of an under
standing upon points differently con-
strued in the new Poor Law"
1t was voted that the corresponding
secretary and finance committee be au-
thorized to eliminate whatever they
thought proper in the minutes of the
meeting in their preparation for publi-
cation, this on account of the growing
expense of printing the minutes.
The resolutions committee recon-
mended that whatever thanks the con-
vention wished to express should be in
the form of motions. This was done
and thanks were voted the Young
Mems Christian association for the use
of its hall, the Scranton poor directors
and the officers of the association.
Hon. John r. Farr, of the West Side
responded to a request to address the
association. He occupied but a few
minutes.
Secretary McGonnigle was called up
on to address the gathering. He re-
gretted Governor Hastings veto of the
Poor Law, but had hopes that SINH
lar law would be passed in a few years.
He approved the Wisconsin county in
sane asvlum plan. In that state, he
said, there is not an overcrowded asy-
lum nor an insane person in an aims
house. The state board of public char
tiles came in for his condemnation for
not taking sufficient interest in the
convention to be represented therein.
DIR. Walk congratulated the associa-
tion on it's having successfully handled
every item on the programme. He
pronounced the session the busiest in
the associations history and the one
most distinguished for general discus
sion. The convention was closed with
DR.. Walks plea for continued interest
in the association and a large attend
ance at Harrisburg next year.
President-elect Scragg was to have
been present and inducted into office,
but he was not in the hall and the for
mality had to be dispensed with.

effects, irresistible comedy, and host
of good things in the way of music

scriptive ballads with the feeling and
expression that few women singers can
command. If you want to enjoy your
self and have a hearty laugh, several

we print Invitations for less than

people can't tell the difference.
