NJ. E. Church Notes

Brother FL. G. Lomax had charge
Of the prayer meeting Thursday
evening in the absence of the pastor.
Our notice of the foreign mis-
sionary society in THE BLADE last
week was a mistake. It will meet
at the residence of Mrs. Clay next
Wednesday afternoon.
\ The pastor spent the midweek
attending the Epworth League in
stitute at ChiIlicothe. Misses Mar
guerite Englehart and Jennie Cal
loud also attended as delegates
from the Laclede chapter.
Mrs. Eta Foreman and Miss
Laura Love entertained their Sun
day school classes at the home of
Mrs. Foreman Tuesday evening.
The young ladies and gentlemen
report a very pleasant time.
The attendance at the early morn
ing praise and song service was a
surprise to many. At 6 O'Clock
there were 40 present and at the
beginning of the first song there
were more than so present.
The pastor received notice from
GAINESVILLE last Sunday of the death
of Rev. John Burris on Christmas
day He was the father of Rev.
w. F Burris, former superintend-
ent of the Brookfeld district.
There will be sacramental servic-
es Sunday morning and in the
evening Rev. Christy, district SUI
perintendent, will preach. Quar-
terly meeting viii be held Monday
morning. We urge q full attend
ance at this the first meeting Of
this conferences year.

BURLINGTON PLANNING CHANGES.
Said 10 Be Preparing 10 Use X. c. Line From
LacIsds North Tor All Through Trains

The Burlington continues to do
extra work on its tracks west
and north of Laclede. Large extra
gangs Of workmen have been sta
toned here all fall, there being two
here now, and the track is being
practically rebuilt. It is reported
in railroad circles that early this
year all Kansas City Chicago trains
are to be run via Laclede and Burl-
ington. This means that passen-
ger trains SO and 56 as well as all
through freights will use this route.
It seems that there might be some
truth in the report from the fact
that an immense amount Of work
has been done on the K. G. track
between Laclede and Burlington
the past year, new ties and heavier
rails having been laid the entire
distance and all bridges rebuilt and
made stronger, and the further fact
that practically all the extra work
done on the Hannibal road the
past year has been done between
Laclede and Kansas City. This
new route will shorten the Burling-
ton time between Kansas City and
Chicago something like two hours
which is necessary to successfully
compete with other roads. The
passenger trains, it is said, will be
divided at Laclede, a local train be-
ing run between here and Quincy
to connect with trains 55 and Sc at
this point. This will not only MAKE
Laclede an important railroad CEN
ter but will give the large towns
north of here such as Milan and
Unionville great deal better train
service than they have ever had.
There is certainly a move Of this
kind contemplated by the Burling-
ton officials but the exact details
will not be known until it becomes
effective.

parsonage the first Of the week
REV Williams is pastor Of the IA
I'M. e. church and was in Lacledt
In the interest Of his church.
We Of the parsonage wish te
extend our sincere thanks to all
who SO generously contributed to-
/ wards the many Christmas gifts
received by us, consisting not only
of the staples Of life, but also chi
ma, embroidered linen, useful arti-
cles too numerous to mention, sill
verware and especially the nice,
comfortable rocker in which we
shall spend SO many pleasant hours
thinking that the, kind people of
| Laclede know how to make their
pastors heart glad at Christmas
time.
The Christmas entertainment was
all that could be desired. The
house was well filed and the pro-
gram was certainly rendered in a
very pleasing manner. Every num-
Der was a good one and all were
well committed. Good order was
maintained throughout the distri-
button of the presents. AS there
were more than 600 gifts on the
tree, some time was consumed in
delivering them, and each child
waited patiently for the treat which
was in store for them after the tree
was dismantled of it's load of Christ
mas remembrances. A sack of
candy and an orange was given to
each scholar of the school, old
and young"
The newly elected officers for the
ensuing six months of the Epworth
League were duly installed last
Sabbath evening, together with an
interesting program. The paper,
Our Possibilities" by Miss Mar
guerite Englehart and the address
by Prof. Diemer Of eur high school
were full of practical ideas which,
if carried out, would make our
league the best in the conference.
A quartet, Sweet Sabbath Eve,v
by Misses Nellie and Lizzie and
William and Richard McGrew was
an interesting feature. The install
lation services were both impressive
and instructive, and we expect to
see a great upbuilding in our league
the coming year.
The attendance at Sunday school
on last Sabbath morning was not
as large as we expected, though
very good, there being 161 present.
1t was evident the lessons had been
well studied by the interest shown
throughout the entire hour by the
classes in general. The collection
was more than four dollars and we
that good for the Sunday
following Christmas. On Sunday
the new officials will take
their respective places and we are
sure that each one will strive to
make the school break its past rec
ord before the end of the year. |
