"Saved by Grace" as follows:
Some day the silver chord will break,
And no more as now shall live,
But oh the joy when shall wake
Within the palace of the king.
Some day my earthly house will fall,
| cannot tell how soon twill be,
But this know my all in all
Has now place in Heaven for me.
Edward Watkins was faithful member
of Bethesda church for about twenty years

about the same length of time. The pail
bearers were members Of the order, as fol-
lows: Joseph Miles, George Linthicum,

Y. M. c. A. Movement.

The Executive Committee, which was
some time since mentioned in the papers,
desires TO make the following report:
At our first meeting the whole field was
gone over most thoroughly. There seemed
10 be unanimous agreement as W the best
methods 10 be adopted. Thus our plans
were most carefully formed. A sub com.
mttee was appointed 10 confer with some
of the leading business men and fathers oil
the town TO get their advice; first, as TO the
expediency Of the movement second, II en-
couragiug in the first, as 10 the best methods
Of procedure.
Result--In the first place we were receiV-
ed, without single exception, with the NJ
most consideration. There was no dispose.
ton on the part of any TO pass the matter
by even lightly; with but one or TWO ex.
ceptions, the movement was considered W
be a good one, provided il could be sup
pOrted. A lew were enthusiastic; TWO or
three sanguine but very large majority
were OF the decided opinion that, under
present conditions, 1t could not be supported
Al the same time they offered us their most
liberal support provided a certain amount
could be raised.
Several other very generous offers were
made us but by no means enough 70 JustliY
further effort at this time. We therefore
recommend 10 the young men that they
abandon the movement Tor the present, hop
ing that the way may be opened 10 some
future day for renewal effort and that
Y. NJ. 9. A. may be organized which will
accomplish much good.
As a committee, we say 70 the young met
we are very sorry indeed that their hopes
cannot now be realized we have served
you with our very best efforts; we ha''
done all we could, and II at any future time
we can be Of any service W you we arr
always In readiness 10 work with you. LIE
US say also 10 those who opened 70 ns thei
home, gave US their advice, and offered Y
rs their liberal support, we thank you mos
sincerely in our own behalf and In the be
half OF the young men.
