Next Friday will be the fftieth ami
versary of the organization of the
First Presbyterian church and prepar-
ations have begun for an elaborate
jubilee service which will be held some
time during November.

Friday night in the church, but it will

n. q. Parke, ID. D., of Pittston, the
organizer of the church, and Rev. DR..
Mitchell the first pastor now resi-
