The Thanksgiving sermon by the Rev.
Percy Knickerbocker of the Boston
Avenue Methodist church was ably
given and thoroughly appreciated.
The musical numbers were appro-
pirate and were an interesting fea-
ture of the program.
About fifty poor children were
given free turkey dinner at noon in
the basement of the Presbyterian
church by the Sorority girls, while
twenty-five poor families were sent
handsome dinners by the energetic
young ladies'.
Nearly hundred dollars was real
lied by the ladies of the Methodist
church from their dinner in the base
ment of the M. e. church, at the cor

nue.. This money is to be applied on
the cost of furnishing and building
