trict.-Rally day was celebrated last Sunday
by the Sunday school and people of Chestnut
Grove Presbyterian Church. The service took
the place Of the regular session Of the Sabbath
school and also of the preaching service. The
main auditorium of the church had been
beautifully decorated for the occasion. Golden
rod, asters and autumn leaves were set oil by
potted plants. The service itself was the oc-
casion of bringing back many OF the old Chest
nut Grove people. The principle address Of
the day was made by the former superinten-
dent Of the school and elder of the church, Mr..
Samuel NJ. Rankin, who now lives in Balti-
more. His address was most impressive and
particularly 80 because, as he said, we should
probably never hear his voice again or see him
alive in Chestnut Grove Church. He urged
the people to go forward Mr.. Davis, of Fork,
sang solo, Face to Face" and Mrs. Schmal-
horst also sang solo, and the choir sang the
world.famed Glory Song. The day was all that
could have been desired but for one thing, viz:
the absence of DR.. John s. Green, the super
intendent Everybody missed him and ex-
pressed the hope that he will soon be back.
