THE BOOK SOCIAL.
Large Lot of Books Received and
a Nice Time Had.

Through the medium of book
social last night the Christian Church
Sunday-school Library had added to
its century of books more than three
quarters of another. The whole Church
building was open and the members
and friends of this denomination min
gled and moved in social intercourse
and refreshing enjoyment. Mechanical
music alone was heard, q music-box
constantly sending forth low, delicious
sounds in the Sunday-school proper,
while a graphophone spoke through
the medium of horn the whole cata-
log usually played by an up-to-now
machine.
The one feature of the evening, how
ever, after the presenting of the gifts,
was the informal talk of Rev. j. G. Mol
10y, DID. Not long from a standpoint
of consuming time, did the Doctor
talk, but from view point of much
knowledge impaired. Not more COM
prehensive, not more succinct, not a
more erudite short lecture was ever
given to a small company of attentive
listeners than this ingenuously ex-
pressed, intelligently woven and most
gracefully portrayed lecture on "Books"
which the good Doctor gave. His en-
thusiasm was catching and he was at
his best.
Light refreshments were served and
the evening was one of true charm and
happy concept.

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
Was the Reception at First Presby-
terrain Church Last Night.

The First Presbyterian Church was
last night the scene of a happy gather
ing OF it's flock which came together to
honor the beloved Pastor and his wife.
The first floor, which few months
ago suffered so from a fire, has Just
emerged from the destruction not only
rehabilitated, but more comfortable and
beautiful than in any former period.
Beginning at the main entrance hard
wood floor of welcoming warmth has
been laid with a tesselated border,
highly polished, and with inviting
beauty these but pave the way to greater
art and decorative finish found in the
reception parlor, library, and prayer
meeting audience-room, which lies
under the auditorium proper. The
walls are done in terracotta of light
hue with sufficient ornamentation to
form a line of demarcation between con-
trasts, which harmonic into that bright
ness which bespeaks His presence and
radiates that true charity about which
He spoke and for which, in its true
sense, the house of God stands. To

of the Church had arranged palms and
ferns with vases of blooming flowers
until the interior had the appearance of
a beautiful conservatory amid which
one might roam with heart as light as
the pure air of heaven. At an easy dis
lance from the parlor the receiving line
was placed. Mrs. r. X. Hoefiich, Presi-
dent of the Society managing the func-
ton, led, and in q most graceful way
presented each guest to Rev. and Mrs.

Misses Hays, Miss Stone and Mrs. A.
NJ. j. Cochran. The membership re-
sponded, and for a season, all too brief,
enjoyed the delights which true social
joys always bring.
In the parlor tables were arranged,
and to the company were served sub
stantial edibles, after which leave TAX
ing was given, and the first reception to
its Pastor is writ down in the First
Presbyterian members minds to bring
happy thoughts with each recurring re-
membrance.
