a great deal to contend with. and
finally left when Mr.. Green would not
have the wood cut She says that
the pieces of wood were too long to
put into the stove, and she objected.
The wood came in four-foot sticks, and
Mr.. Green declared It was a waste Of
money to hire a man TO chop II up.
well, how can use them when they
won't go into the stove?" inquired the
servant girl. I'm show you" said Mr..
Green. Then he showed a four-foot
stick as far into the stove as II would
go and rested the end on a chair-back.
As the stick burned down he showed II
little further into the stove, until
1t was small enough to go in entirely.
The servant girl gave notice at once.

1892, u cost Of about S15, ,O0O. They
have finally succeeded in running it %
the earth, and at the Jubilee services
held last Wednesday evening the last
mortgage and Judgement were burned
in the presence of large and grateful
congregation, composed of the mem
Dor5 and friends of the Church, amid
great rejoicings, and accompanied by
music, both instrumental and vocal.
After the services refreshments were
served by the ladies of the Church.
At the meeting of the Central Penn
sytvania Conference held at Hazelton,
Rev. 0. S. Mot2ler, formerly pastor at
Ash and, Pa, was appointed pastor of
Emporium Church. Finding the
church burdened with an Indebtedness
OF 81 $50, he went to work at once to
reduce the principal, his aim being to
pay off 81, 800 during the coming year.
TO assist in this laudable undertaking,
he organized the Peoples Star Course,
which furnished the community, dur
ing the winter months, with a very
high grade of intellectual and musical
entertainments at the remarkable low
price of $1.50 for five attractions. The
interest paying societies, composed of
the ladies of the Church, which had
been organized in 1897, were continued
under the leadership of Mrs. f. P.
Strayer, and the Pastor, solicited sub
scriptions. AT the end of the year the
result showed, that $1,925.00 of the
church debt had been paid.
At the beginning of the second year,
of Mr. Metzler's pastorate, it was de-
cided by the official board of the
church, to make an effort during the
coming year to wipe out the entire in
debtedness. Work was continued
along these lines, and the magnificent
results achieved show, that the work
WAS "Not all in Vain"
As stated before, the Ladies Interest
Paying Society was organized during
the year 1897, and Mrs. j. S. Douglas
WAS elected the first President She
leaving town shortly afterward Mrs.
G. " Thomas was elected President in
her stead, and at the end of that year
she had the satisfaction ofturning over
to the Trustees the sum of 8437.03
Mira. NJ. Terwilliger, the President
during the year 1898, succeeded in
collecting $30G,71, and Mrs. L. X.
