Last Tuesday evening as two ladies of
this sssection were driving home about
dusk they were overtaken by young
couple in another team who from their
actions had either been drinking or were
normally fit subjects for term in the
house of correction. They kept close to
the ladies'l team for distance of over a
mile, at times driving alongside and
ahead and in passing allowed the wheels
of the two vehicles to collide. When a
polite request was made that they be
more careful and less annoying, this
young rowdy and his female companion
became very abusive and answered with
curses and taunts. IF their names could
be ascertained the authorities wonld have
an opportunity to administer much
needed admonition against such disrep-
utable conduct.

Memorial Tablet To Missionaries

The following from the New Bloom
field, Pa, Times will prove of interest to
our readers, Mrs. Peale being before her
marriage Miss Rebecca Gillespie, of West
Nottingham. New Bloomfield was the
home of Rev. Mr.. Peale:
An interesting, but very solemn service
was held in the New Bloomfield Presby-
terrain Church on Thursday evening, June
II, when a tablet was unveiled to the
memory of Rev. John Rogers Peale and
Rebecca Gillespie Peale, his wife. After
the opening exercises, Rev. John A.
Nesbitt of Colora, Md, class mate and
most intimate friend of Mr.. Peale, spoke
on the subject, Peale as friend and
seminary classmate. He emphasized,
among other points, the positiveness of
his character, his deeply religious nature.
Rev. Mr.. Nesbitt was followed by Rev.
F. T. Wheeler, of MELVILLE, a former
pastor of the church, who spoke on Peale
as member of church and Sabbath
School. He spoke of Mr.. Peale's fidelity
in this relation. Rev. E. M. Mullock,
pastor of Paxton Presbyterian Church, a
classmate of Mr.. Peale, then spoke on
Mr.. and Mrs. Peale's contribution to
foreign missions. They had given a con-
tribution, he said, than which none could
give greater, as they had given their
lives, and its value cannot be estimated.
He gave numerous instances of the quick
ening of missionary activity and interest,
in this country, resulting from their tragic
death.
After these addresses, Rev. John A.
Nesbitt, with a few appropriate remarks,
unveiled the tablet, after which Rev. R.
F. MCLEAN of fredericksburg led in
prayer. The tablets placed on the front
wall of the main audience room of the
church. It is a handsome bronze tablet
and bears this inscription: In loving
memory of Rev. and Mrs. John Rogers
Peale, who were martyred at Lien Chow,
China, October rs, 1905. I am ready not
to be bound only, but also to die at Je-
rusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
A tablet to all the Lien Chow martyrs
was unveiled in the rooms of the Presby.
terrain Board of Foreign Missions, in New
York short time ago. Tablets to Mr.
Peale have also been placed in Stuart
Hall, Lafayette College, and the Peale
Memorial Church has been erected in
North Dakota, where he preached during
one of his vacations.
