PASTOR KOONS
WAS SURPRISED

When the Rev w. G.. Koons, pastor
Of Scott NJ. e. Church, went to attend
the Monday evening class meeting at
the church last night, he was some-
what surprised to find but one person
at the meeting. This is one of the
largest classes of the church, and the
pastor always attends it and is some-
what Of leader OF Il.
Pastor Koons could not understand
the sudden falling off in attendance,
but tho mystery was cleared when he
returned to the parsonage and there
found the members Of the class and
some other awaiting his return. 1t
was the anniversary of the class, and
the members thought they would sur
prise Pastor Koons as part of their
celebration.
A delightful evening was spent. Miss
Blanche Grason played a piano solo
and Miss Gee. of Epworth Church,
sang a solo. Complimentary addresses
were made by 1. 7. Parker, L. T
Grubb and w. f. Drummond, and Pas
tor Koons made a response in behalf
of himself and Mrs. Rooms. Refresh
ments of ice cream, cake, candy and
fruit were served, and an enjoyable
social time continued until a late
hour
