We appreciate very highly the OPP
afforded US TO write for the |
second time to the PLANET and hope
that there may be a greater demand |
for it, as it should be in every home in
this town We want two hundred reg
ular subscribers. Will you help us 20
get them?
We regret very much to say that
there are q number OF people still left
in without this paper who have hereto
fore been constant subscribers. The
pastors of the different churches have
promised TO appoint a person TO solicit
subscribers also to take down import
ant points in church work, &c.
Those desiring the paper will please
inform them and it will be delivered
without fail. Others may call st the
barber shop of Messrs. John Phillips
highly appreciated by the agent and
correspondents.
The happy school-days have come at
last and are very cordially welcomed

tainly enjoy the term
On Friday last, at eight o'clock the
Quarterly Conference of Trinity A. NJ.
+ Church was held. 1t dismissed at
about half past ten, having had q very
pleasant session.
Sunday being quarterly meeting
day, our Presiding Elder, Reverend
Robert Davis was with US and filled
the pulpit at the three services, each
OF which was much enjoyed by all who
had the pleasure of hearing his forca-
BILE language. We heartily welcome
quarterly meeting day.
The revival which is being carried on
at the two churches-Trinity and 9th
Street-has been very well attended so
far and many are protesting to know
Christ in the pardoning OF their sins.
| There has been some remarks made
| in regards to two meetings being car
ried on at the same time by churches
as near each other as Trinity Metho-
dist and 9th Street Baptist Churches
but after found that On the Offset,
both were filed to their seating capsc-
ity. We think that it is blessing
that both are holding meetings at the
same time, and q disadvantage that
there are not three since 1t is for the
benefit and comfort Of the people in
general.
Reverend Hokady has gone to Rop-
er's City to-hold protracted meeting
We hope him much success.
There will be q Corner Stone laying

The Young Peoples Christian Asso-
citation gave their fifth grand social or
the 9th, ut Odd Fellows hall. 1t was
largely attended.
For the last three weeks the electric
lights of Berkeley have been shut of
the cause OF which was the breaking
down of the electric machine but they
have substituted for the broken ma
chine new one, and the citizens will
have the pleasure of walking along
lighted streets instead of cropping il
gross darkness to which they are sc
much used.
We had the pleasure of hearing two
| youug ladies who live less than two
blocks apart, discuss how many times
they had been visited by each other
Notwithstanding they have been liv.
ing here for some years, the first haC
received from the second no visits anC
the second from the first one visit, ye
they are mutual friends. 1t has beer
said ami not by the worst authority
that one Of the ways to produce init
mate friendship between neighbors il
to receive and return frequent visits
So young people commence to visi
your friends and so increase you
friendship.
Reverend @. Knewton filled the pal
pit for Rev. L. Hokady last Sunday

@. A, given on Monday, some say tina
the young people should have he'll,
back on account of the Protractet
meeting being carried on, on the sam
street on either side of the hall. VIVA
