Two questions, "Why was the use of the
singular pronoun so carefully adhered to
by early Friends?n and lis disregard Of
this custom violation of their principles
now?u were generally and most interest
ingly discussed. Two centuries ago the
plural pronoun was used in addressing in
dlyiduals among the rich and powerful.
Friends felt it wrong TO discriminate and
carefully adhered to addressing such with
tle singular pronoun. In this age, when
by general custom the plural pronoun is
applied alike to rich and poor, the princi-
pie then involved is obsolete, but many
still prefer to adhere to the beautiful lam
guage because of its simplicity and sacred
associations.
On Friday morning of this week the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of

for tea on the seventh, Rachel Carter, Ann
pen and Rachel M. Haines, all but one of
whom have passed their eightieth birthdays
as has also Mr. and Mrs. BradshaW's moth
er, Hannah Cooper, who is the most frail
Of the group, consequently it seemed fit
ting that the others should gather at her
home We believe few villages of this size
are favored with six women who have SER
we'd others faithfully SO many years and
are still able to enjoy social visiting.
Ca Saturday evening, July 7th, Theodore
Brown and wife gave Freedom Party"
for their son Charles H., which was keenly
enjoyed by all who were present. The
evening was an ideal one and the lawn was
prettily decorated with Japanese lanterns.
Two rooms prepared for dancing were also
decorated with Japanese lanterns, bunting
and long ropes Of laurel Misses Warning
ton and Talman, of Swedesboro, furnished
very fine music, and the dancing was en-
joyed by many Other guests amused
themselves with various games until re-
freshments were served. Charles received
several nice presents, among them large
pyramid baked by Mrs. Ella Brown, and
very artistically decorated by Miss Martha
Rieger, Of Swedesboro. With his assist
ance the cake was cut and passed around
for the guests to sample. There were
about one hundred and fifty guests present
and all departed for their homes wishing
Charles many happy returns of the day.
AS the Heritage family were returning
from meeting last First-day and the car
riage turned into T. Omar Heritage's home
the bit gave way The driver, not know
ing Just the cause Of the trouble, naturally
pulled the lines taking the bride partly
off the llorse's head, making the situation
still more serious. The frightened horse
ran into a shed where implement etc.
were kept where it was obliged to stop.
None of the five occupants of the carriage
were seriously injured and the horse was
not permanently injured. The carriage
was badly broken-a small consideration in
comparison with the possibilities Of such an
experience, All feel thankful that the
accident was not more serious.
Monday afternoon the house on Joseph
T. Carter farm, now occupied by his son,
