Subject for League "Temper.
anee." Leader, John Fletcher.
At the last Quarterly Conference,
held January 5th, the pastor re-
ceived a nuapimous call to return
another year. The pastor reported
$3.50 raised on the recently published
calendar above all expense. With
this amount the roof will be put on,
the Indebtedness of the parsonage
oblitersted, a cloth black board pur-
chased for the Sunday school room,
and racks for books placed in
the church proper. We shall enter
the new Cor ference year entirely
free from debt. Mr.. Bournique was
approved as superintendent Of the
Sunday school, VIM. Angle as assist
ant. Brother John Pletcher's ex
horter's license was renewed, and
similar licenses were granted to
Brothers Angle, Myer and Frank
Fletcher.
By vote Of last Sunday mornings s
congregation Brother Angle was
elected representative to the Lay
Electoral Conference at Newark at
the time Of the Annual Conference ;
Brother Bournique as reserve dele
gate. The purpose Of this Electoral
Conference is to elect five men from
our Conference to represent the
Layman of this Conference at the
next session of the General Confer.
ence to be heldasLos Angeles, Cal.
in May On account of the General
Conference coming this year our
own Conference coming this year
our own Conference will be held two
weeks earlier than usual; i5 will
open March 23rd. It is therefore
very important that all subscriptions
due the Stewards or on Benevolences
and such amounts as are still out
standing on parsonage improve
ments be handed in at a very early
date so that the pastor may present
on behalf Of tho Charge clear
record at Conference.
The week of prayer has been OBJ
served with evident profit to all in
attendance. The continuation of the
Union services with Rev. Smith Of
Port Jervis as the main speaker has
been most helpful ard the attend
anoe excellent, so that, upon consult
alton, it has seemed good to prolong
the series of meetings somewhat
with view TO securing ever greater
results. Due announcement will be
made on the Sabbath.
We think Of having this Sundays
services in the main auditorium un-
less the weather is too severe.
1t seems queer that so many Of
Milford's intelligent people should
credit the fabrioations which have
recently been goiag the rounds. Il
wonld be better to make sure Of the
truth Of what yoa hear before you
pass it on.
The Ladies Aid recently spent a
pleasant afternoon at the parsonage
A social under the auspices Of the
Aid win be held at the same place
on the evening Of the 2Sth. and Il Is
further planned that the Epworth
League and the Ladies And shall
alternate each month in having
little social at the different homes.
Thus we shall work together for
the ad vanoemento Of social fellowship
