gram. After the singing prayer was
made by the pastor, the Rev. John NJ.

by the first vice president, Mr.. Chas. w.
Plat; and some very pleasing Introductory
remarks, in which he congratulated the
League upon its progress in the past, and
the president, Mr.. 81. A. DeHart. Reports
from the various vice presidents and
superintendent showed healthy spiritual
growth, and prosperous condition in the
League In making her report the second
vice president, Mrs. Harrison Chew, in
charge of Mission work, recited, "a Plea
from Africa" with fine effect. Mrs. Emma
Bowers the fourth vice president, read

pleasing manner. The Messrs Chas. H.
Babcock, Harry A. DeHart Jr., Frank
Rambo, Richard Wilkins and Leslie Gibbs

the RIVER The report of the Superinten-
dent of the Junior Epworth League was
particularly pleasing. The young people,
about seventy in all, occupied the front
seats in the main BODY Of the church, and
in their dainty summer attire might have
been mistaken for an angelic throng. Ii is
true, we do not read Of boy angels, but,
fear, that even heaven would seem a dull
place to most Of the girls, without them.
The report showed that they were being
instructed in catechism and in the scrip
lures. Edna Bowers received pretty
little volume bound in white and gold as
tribute for having attended the League
during three years without having missed
meeting. Marion Budd, Florance Budd,
and Hettie Windish received each Bible

The Rev. Isaac L. Fowler sang in his own
delightful way, Our Church is Marching
On" and the audience joined in the re-
frain. The ReY. J. NJ. Hunt gave some

tion held recently in Camden. And so
ended an entertaining profitable occasion.
