Halloween Social Delights Many.

The Halloween social at the
Methodist Parsonage given by the
Epworth League last Monday eve-
ming was one of the most pleasing
social affairs the young people have
had this season. The parsonage was
prettily decorated in red and white
the colors Of the League, and black
cats, goblins, ghosts and other gro
tesque figures adorned the walls.
The time was delightfully."- passed in
conversation, and with games and
music. Supper was served through
out the evening and consisted of
sandwiches, pickles, cake, pumpkin
pies and coffee. The proceeds of the
social will be used to improve the
church property.

RALLY DAY
Observed At The M. E. Church

Last Sunday was Rally Day at the
NJ. E. church and the day was most fit
tingly observed by appropriate exer-
cises. In the morning the time for
the study of the Sunday School les
son was given over to a program OF
recitation and song by the children.
The program was followed by an ad-
dress by the pastor, Rev. G. f.
Wharton, on Polishing Shafts, -
character building, particularly dur
ing the adolescent period. The SER
vice was very largely attended ,,
many young people who were not
members of the Sunday School being
present and remaining to the preach
ing service that followed,
In the evening Rev. Wharton's SER
mon was effects OF Sin,' taken
from Proverbs, 1925. With great
earnestness and in an eloquent. voice
and pleasing manner the pastor
spoke in substance as follows.
1.-The soul is the most impressiona-
BILE Of spiritual things, and wrong
doing produces inevitable results OF,
the soul. All things in the uni
verse-stars, planets, vegetation,
birds, animals, fishes: all save man
live, move, and work in harmony
with plans set in operation by the
Divine Mind.
''The soul that sins sewers all
connection between it and hope, like
a ship without chart or compass
The soul that sins is in process of
mental decay.
''Sin means death to the higher,
greater, mental functions, to the no
blest possibilities; and to the deep
est, finest research. Sin is delusive
infatuating, dangerous. We fee
from the explosion, the tornado, OF
other visible death; sin is more dan
gerous, in it is sure death to all the
good there is in man. Accident Or
disease affects one part of the indi-
vidual; sin demoralizes every func-,
ion of the whole being.
''Sin attracts, dresses as virtue,
deludes the Wisest. 1t is form of
insanity, destroying all the powers
of the soul and bringing chaos to ev--
cry faculty. Sin benumbs the sensi-
bilities, destroys shame, and causes
the sinner to love sin. 1t hardens
the conscience, causes indifference.
and makes the sinner too weak to-
resist evil. 1t blights manhood, de-
stroys virtue, wrecks character, and
destroys desire to do better.
"Men designed to be giants of in
tellectuality, and to lift and glorify
the world; many are weaklings, driy-
elling, mediocre.

ist, says of tabacco users: They are
totally untitled for the delicate task
of budding fruit trees, as only the

cernment can produce the desired re-
