Mrs. Norvell. of the Bible training

again to Scranton and under the aus
| pices of the Young Women's Christian
association will hold a series of de-
| votonal meetings The first service
will be held Sunday afternoon at 3.45
in the Penn Avenue Baptist church, to
| which everybody is invited. Commence
| ing Monday night and continuing dur
| ing the week will be held meetings un-
| der Mrs Norvell's leadership at the
IVulS w OllleH = NnTSlldn aSSOCldllOn
rooms. Mrs. Norvell is too we'll known

This Ladies' Aid society of Elm Park
church has announced a unique en-
| tertainment for the evening of the first
| supper in December. 1t is to be in the
| form of a contribution to the society
of one dollar, which each person is to
| earn, either by actual effort 6r by
| some sacrifice. The entertainment
| feature will consist of "a recital in
! rhyme by each contributor, telling
| how the dollar was secured. 1t is
| probable that some enterprising per
| son of a poetical turn of mind may
| earn several dollars by writing the
| rhymes for the others, as the average
| practically inclined individual of these
| days would prefer to pay a dollar any
time than endeaVor to express thought
in verse.
The western woman who advised her
| sisters to withdraw from active work
