Last Sabbath we attended the Free
Methodist quarterly meeting at the
Nestlerode school house. The pre-
siding elder Rev Higgins preached
with power in the forenoon. We
always attend their quarterly meet
ings, they always have the John
Wesley love feast, the kind that all
the M E churches held fifty years
ago, when the young ladies wore
their neat sun bonnets, had rosy
cheeks, and were a power in the
church and good influence went
out among the worldly. But how
changed are the faces and dress now;
the roses are on top of the hats, face
white with - and you can hardly
hear what they say across the room.
Uncle Israel Nestlerode gave us a
grand talk. He is in his saith year
and quite feeble; he says he is ready
to go at any time. 1t makes us think
of our boyhood days to hear the
father and mother talk in love feast
meeting. In the evening Mics Dora
Cant of Schell City, preached a pow
erful sermon to a large audience.
Would that more of our young folks
were in the good work instead of
scooting round in buggies spending
their time in foolish talk. Visitors:
Mr. Cant, wife and daughter of Schell
City. J H Farley and wife of Cass
county, Rev Herman of Wolfe, Yer
non county; Misses Alice and Ella
Pilgrim of MerwiR. Miss Eliza With
erspoon has charge of the Sabbath
school, 40 scholars present, 10 visit
ors.
VIII burst, who was hurt one week
ago, was out last Sunday in a one
horse buggy, having loaned his bug
gy and fine team to another fellow
to haul a pretty young lady.
The Free Methodists will hold
prohibition basket meeting not far
