THOROFARE.


The subject of the sermon preached
by the Rev. J. T. Richardson on last
Sunday morning was "A declaration
of religious experience" The text
was from the sixth-sixth Psalm and
sixteenth verse: Come and hear all
We that fear God, and will declare
what He hath done for my SOUL"
First: What He hath done; He re-
storeth my SOUL second, He has
become my refuge" third, He has
breathed his spirit into my soul, and
has prepared a home for my soul"
The sermon was really fine, and a
solo given by Mr.. Joseph Benton was
much appreciated by the large au-
dience.

Wednesday, October fourth, was the
eighty-ninth birthday of Mrs. William
D. Rambo, formerly Miss Abbie Anna
Lodge. Mrs Rambo is still active
and bright, and retains all her facul-
ties. She has not grown crooked ply
sically, nor warped mentally, and,
Notwithstanding her advanced years,
her memory is so good that she re-
members the poor. Since the incep-
ton of the St. Paul M. q. Church,
more than fifty years ago, she has
been faithful member, and an earn
est and efficient worker in, and for
the church, and so the ladies of the
church thought to send her little
token showing that they held the day
of her birth in sweet remembrance.
The result was a cluster of pink and
white dahlias, eighty-nine in number,
intersperced with feathery ferns, and
placed in beautiful jardiniere,
around which a pink satin scarf was
artistically draped.
