OLD FOLKS DAY
At ST. PAULS

Old Folks Day was observed Sun:
day at st. Paul's Methodist Episcopa |
church with a series of charmingly
appropriate. interesting and helpful
services. which began at 8 80 in the
morning with a Love Feast and con-
tinued throughout the day, closing in
the evening with the regular z 80 ser
vice. at which Rev. Richard Hinkle,
of York. preached sermon that mark
ed the beginning of the second week
of revival services at st. Paul's.
For the occasion of Old Folks Day.
the altar was beautifully decked with
many of the food staples and delica-
cies. The tempting Jars of canned
fruit and preserves, the generous array
of corn, pumpkins and apples, garnish.
ed gracefully with many bouquets of
chrysanthemums, was vision we'll
calculated to thrill. with the abund-
anoo Of Gods love, the hearts of those
who are approaching so near to their
rewards
The principal service of the day was
at 10 80 in the morning. A large con :
gregation attended this service, includ-
ing many of the older members who
we're taken to and from the church in
automobiles and carriage The be-
nevolent collections, with the exoep-
tion of the missionary collection. were
lifted and each of the old folks, who
attended the service, was presented
with bouquet of flowers.
Rev. Richard Hinkle's discourse was
founded on the thoughts contained in
the 12th, 18th and 14th verses of the
92nd Psalm: 1.-THE righteous shall
| flourish as the palm tree; he shall
grow like cedar in Lebanon. Those
| that be planted in the house of the
| Lord shall flourish in the courts of
God. They shall still bring forth fruit
in old age they shall be fat and fiour-
ishing." 1t was a sweet but masterful
sermon, preached to the old folks by
an old man who has become gray in
the service Of the Master.
Rev. Hinkle said that many old peo-
pie have tendency to be alone and
to become out of sympathy with the
younger generations. He urged them
to keep up their interest in the affairs
of their children. to keep in touch
with the times-in word, not to live
in the past but in the present. He told
them also that in order to have hap
py old age they must be at peace with
God and man, and urged to them the
necessity of knowing that their peace
with God Is made.
In the afternoon Decision Day and
Missionary Day was observed at the
Sunday School. and program especi-
ally prepared by the Missionary Com
mittee was rendered. The regular
monthly missionary collection amount
ed to $3.50. The Epworth League
held a revival service at 80.

FIVE XII LED
IN WRECK
Continued from First Page. !

Neither of the engineers jumped, but
like heroes remained at their post, en-
deavoriDg to save the human beings
trusted to their care. The others, ex-
cept one fireman, who escaped in a
miraculous manner, did not know what
happened aud were killed before they
could say a word.
Those in the smoker, eighteen in
number, were also thrown about in a
forcible manner and some we're pin
Toned in the wrecbage but not serious
ly injured.
The cars were piled up, one almost
on the rear end of the others. many
were badly damaged, but the engines
were one mass of ruins. And buried
in the latter were the two engineers
and one fireman. The others were in
the baggage car. About half hour
after the accident the Lackawanna
officials hurried hospital car and
staff of physicians to the scene and
every thing possible was done for the
injured.
Some were cared for by private fami.
lies or taken to. the Moses Taylor Hos.
pital at Scranton. The wrecking crew
were busy all last night under the
supervision of Superintendent Rine
and Roadmaster Schofeld. In the
meantime the ackawanna passengers
were transported to. Berwick. Blooms
burg and Northumberland over the
Pennsylvania.
Trains were run out of Plymoath in
compliance with the regular schedule.
Why the crew of the extra, if il did,
mistake the orders, no one will ever
know, though Coroner Dodson prom.
ises to conduct rigid examination.
He will try to establish the parties
who are responsible for this awful
mistake. The company officials would
not say anything for publication.

tions closely related to the g. A. r.

The visiting delegation was COM
posed of Ool. Ent Post. No. 250. g.

soldiers borrowed" fifty chickens, of
some farmers along with a correspond
ing number Of ducks and geese. He
explained how they got rid of the
feathers and then how they cooked the
fowls in a big camp kettle of "sever-
al barrels " capacity. The dish took
the form of an enormous pot pie, which
fed the whole company.
Thomas struck the keynote by in.
Producing the subject of chickens and
from that on till the close there was
not an address in which the 50 bjeot of
chicken did not play an important
part.
Other speakers were: O. s. Form
wald, George W. Sterner, who brought
down the house with good story and
later recited spirited poem; W. o.
Holmes and George Fornwald, tine lat.

ed under the name of the Watsontown

The average weight of the Danville
eleven is I40 pounds and some of the

Of age. aud all of them are now going
to the Danville High School, The team
that opposed them on Saturday and
that represented the Watsontown High
School. weighed at least 100 pounds to

course he was taking at the Watson

know what a course was. Another has
been an employe at the American Gar

and still another, Weaver, has played on
the professional "Buffalos," of San.

Nevertheless the local eleven acquit-
ted themselves nobly. and played the

day was Maurice Dreifuss. Danville's
