Milton, the sixteen year old son of Rev.
F. L. Jewett, has decided bent toward

Six young ladies OF the EpmoI th League
gave festival and entertainment in the
hall few evenings since for the purpose of
raising dollar each toward the proposed
Epworth League fund of 800 and were
fortunate enough TO clear $26 Now at
least one Of the Philadelphia papers prints
the absurd statement that these girls will
raise the money for the addition to the
church. We wonder if the editors of these
papers think all their readers are imbeciles.

half Of the school, with a handsome bou-
quet of cut roses. The several church aux
iliarys were represented by officers who
greeted the pastor and his wife in fitting
words. As Mr.. Jewett came forward to re-
spond the audience arose and sang "Bles6
be the tie;' he was so deeply affected that
it was some moments before he could pro-
ceed. The young ladies' bible class served
refreshments and did it very dexterously
The evangelist Jones episode is prec-
ious morel for the reporters for the Phiia-
delphia papers, and likely to provoke
much or more interest elsewhere than in
this town. The only surprising thing about
the matter is that the break did not come
sooner. The man who abounds in street
slang and sings minstel songs, using form
of religious doggorell for words, is not
adapted for the work of a pastorate. Mr..
Jones would haYe been more at home in
the Salvation Army Of which he was for
