people. Not to give them sensational sermons but sincere and honest gospel truths and above all to give short ser mons, that 8 discourse of 25 minutes was long enough for any man to listen to. Rev Joel $. Ives, former pastor of the church, gave the charge to the people. He said the church was the body of Christ, a divinely appointed instrument for his work in the world. That the church was eternal, that. it's work Is not done until the last one shall be saved. After the closing hymn the benediction was pronounced by the newly installed pastor, after which Rev Mr Stim mson re- ceived many warm hand shakes and hearty congratulations.

Here's an interesting story that
comes from Hancock: While George
Smith and Jacob Miehl, of Baltimore,
were cunning on Saturday at Round
Top they discovered trail that led
to a cave containing two apartments.
In the back cavern, entrance to which
was gained through a circular hole
about like the end of a barrel, were
found the skeletons of two men, the
bones of which were bleached and
dry, and fastened to the ankle of each
was a chain, which joined the skeletons
together. A silver dollar and half
dollar, coined in 1910 and l647, were
also found in the dust. The trail was
made by some wild animals, the tracks
of which were evident inside the cave.
The skeletons were left undisturbed,
but the gunners say they spent grue-
some fifteen minutes in examining the
interior by the light of fagot.
