The structure has recently been repaired
within and without. The walls have re
ceived a dash of fresco, the woodwork it
coat Of varnish, the floor and rostruu
carpeted. 1t has been crowned with 4;
towering beltry, under a glistening spire
in which rests the great bell whose deep
mellow tones now and through the day
and years yelled in futurity, will invite
the children Of men to this temple of til,
living God. Nor is it improbable tha'
this faithful, though inanimate servant o
a Christian people will awaken in the
hearts OF succeeding generations hallowec
memories as, one by one, clear and sweet
its mighty reyerberating peals shall hoat
from the trembling dome like a message
OF rest, and be waited on the pinions o
peace.
During the filty-five years OF her ex
istence the old Brick" church has seer
the sincere worshippers of Bethlehem
Babe who gathered within her walls
pass from golden youth to manhood ano
womanhood, to maturer years and tt
have the hoary head and the furrowed
cheek; she has seen them in prosperity
and wealth, in poverty and want, in sor'
row and bereavement, in sickness and in
health; she has seen them die i'll the arms
OF the Christ. About her lies an old
churchyard where humble slabs OF white
and grey mark the spots under which re-
pose all that is mortal of the dear ones
whose spirits are in eternity. Indeed,
then, this is a sacred acre; and it should
be, for the Mother of PENIS Groves
churches extends an arm of protecting
care over this city of the lamented dead.

the inclemency, there was a good attend
ance. Loving hands had labored on the
day previous and, as one passed in through
scene. Flowers, herbs, vines and various
vegetables chung or lay in profusion in
side the chancel and around the pulpit.
A sheaf OF wheat, castor beans and stalks
OF corn formed a back ground while a
horn of plenty hung overhead.
Appropriate selections were rendered
by the choir, Part of the 23d chapter OF
Exodus was read wherein God command
ed the Jews to keep the feast OF the har-
vest. Rev. DR.. b. c. ~Lippincott took for
his text ''My father is the husbandman. y
John Isl and spoke in part as follows:
81 think ! was the first to begin the feast
OF the harvest or autumnal day services
many years ago. Children's day was
first started at Merchantville this state.
The autumnal day services has spread
like children's day until most churches
now observe it.
''The fruits and other products of the
season are abundant. We come today
rejoicing and We bring our oblations to
Almighty God, the great ~husbandman OF
us all. Nearly all OF us have been born
