/ went to the NJ. E. Church on last Sum
day morning, and listened TO fine sermon
from the new pastor, the Rev Thomas A. |
Farley. The sermon was eminently prac-
tical one, but there was little Western
breeze blowing through it which could not
fail to greet one pleasantly on 50 warm
day.
By vote Of the official board, the hour
! or the Wednesday evening prayer service
was changed from eight O'Clock to 7.3O.
The annual rally of the Epworth League
brought a large attendance Mrs. Mary r.
Low was the leader, and all felt the SER

The nomination Of Mr.. Fl. A. DeHart
for collector, should it take place, will be
an unusually popular one. He is eminent
lyi fitted for the position; his business
career is we'll known, and his honor has

Thorofare in the township renders il de-
sirable headquarters for the Collector,
since be can be reached by the greatest
number Of people with the least possible
trouble, and expense.

We are all at home again from our sum-
mer outings and are preparing ourselves
for.the winter festivities. Thorofare prom
ises to be unusually gay during the coming
season. You see, we must compensate our
selves, in some way, for the disappoint-
ments Of the summer. Speaking Of testify
tiles reminds me that the ball will be
opened, SO to speak, on next Saturday
night, September 18th, by surprise"
given by Mrs. May Budd DeHart to her
husband Mr.. J. Walter DeHart. I don't
know why everybody should be surprised
SO early in the season, but am told that Mr..
DeHaTt has never been surprised and it is
Thought we'll to take time by the forelock.
Invitations have been generously dispensed,
but lest some one may have been over
looked, am requested TO say bnat every
body have been invited, and every body is
expected to come. No invidious distinc-
lions will be made. The ladies are
requested to each bring cake, and it is
hoped that the gentlemen will generously
chip inn for the ice cream, and fruits.
The young men who are handsome, and
agreeable, and desirable will not be tapped.
4 Their presence will insure the iollity and
good time which are desired. In the lordly
mansion Of Mr.. DeHart there will be room
for all; and the spacious lawn will be well
4 lighted, SO that those sentimentaliy in
clined can discourse up n the stars, and en-
able the mosquitoes Of the neighborhood to
sing iubilate. Once more-come one, come
all
