GREAT HONORS FOR ALMA.
Republican Press Association Meets
Here in August.

Smallest Town In Michigan 10 be H0nored Thus.
At the meeting of the Republican
Press Association in Grand Rapids last
Thursday and Friday it was voted to
hold the next meeting III Alma. This
is the sumner meeting and will occur
sometime in August, the sessions TO last
two days. The Association is composed
of the editors of two hundred republican
newspapers and their wives. 1t will be
an immense gathering for Alma and
viii give the citizens of the town an
opportunity to show their loyalty and to
help make more famous this thriving
little village which has already acquired
so much distinction throughout the
state for its beauty and thrift and the
excellence of its institutions. Nor is
Alma reputation confined TO Michigan.
Through her College and Sanitarium she
has become well and favorably known
in many places in other states. And
now is the time to bring the superior
advantages Of the place before the people
of Michigan in an especial manner.
These two hundred newspaper men from
all parts of the state will no doubt on
their return home from the meeting
commend Alma and its citizens through
the columns of their respective papers,
provided that they are favorably i'm
pressed. And they cannot fail to form
a favorable opinion of the town if with
all the rest of the attractions they are
entertained right royalty while here.
Usually only one meeting year is held,
but this being campaign year is the
reason for the summer meeting Alma
will have the distinction of being the
smallest place in which the association
has ever met. G. +. Brown has been
trying 20 obtain this consummation foI
two years and last week at Grand
Rapids he succeeded, and we hope that
the editors and their better-h halves will
be given a rousing reception, and enter
+ainment of which there could no
possibly be any complaint.

NINTH ANNIVERSARY.
The ErwOrth League Celebrates its
Ninth Birthday.

Last Sabbath was the ninth anniver-
sary of the organization of the Epworth
League, which event took place in
Cleveland, Ohio, May 10Th, 1889. Rev
Mr.. Carrel, pastor of the Nj. +. church
here, bears the honorable distinction of
being one of the original organizers
More than that it may be said that he
was the organizer. At that time he was
serving in the capacity of superintend-
ent of the Chicago Young People 5
Methodist Alliance, and began the cor
respondence which led eventually to the
meeting in Cleveland before mentioned.
At this time there were present five rep
resentatives from each of five young
peoples societies of the NJ. +. church,
located III various parts Of the country.
These five societies were united into
one league and the organization has
spread until it has been adopted by the
M. E. church of the south and of Canada
and constitutes a strong bond uniting in
one grand whole the local leagues of the
various churches An international
convention is held every two years. The
last one occurred in Toronto last year
and the next one will meet in Indian
apolis in June 1899.
The anniversary services in the Alma
church were begun last Sunday by a
sunrise prayer meeting which was well
attended, this fact showing the earnest
ness of the young people and their desire
to begin the day Alright At 1030 a, IN.
the pastor preached a very earnest and
inspiring sermon to the young people on
the theme, "Show Thysef Man.
Besides the regular Junior and Epworth
League meetings, which were Of unusual
interest, an anniversary service IL
charge of the league took the place OF
the usual evening service. Aside from
the opening exercises and some other
good music, the program consisted OF
three selected readings from men who
stand high in Epworth League circles
and the work of the organization, ano
an address by DIR. Carrel on "What
Does the Epworth League Stand For|
The speaker set forth the lofty princi
Piles upon which the organization rests
as foundation and the grand and noble
work of winning men TO Christ, which
il is the aim of every true Lacquer to &C
complish The readings were as follows
