C. s. Miller left this city yesterday
afternoon for Millville, where he
will stop over night. This morning
he resumed his journey to Ocean
City to attend the annual session of
the New Jersey Conference held at
that place. Mr.. Miller, 1t Ia expect
ed, will be returned to South Amboy
for his fourth year as the quarterly
conference OF the John Street M. e.
church, of which Mr.. Miller is pas
tor, unanimously asked for his re-
turn.
AT the evening service Sunday a
report of the work of the different
departments during the year was
given by the secretary of the official
board, a synopsis OF which is as fol-
lows:
Ladies' Aid Society, President,
Mrs. John Dayton. Membership, 88.
First duty of Aid being the furnish
ing of parsonage, an inspection of
which will show that their work is
well done, the ladies being particu-
lar to see that everything necessary
for the comfort of the pastor and
his family is provided. After this is
done then the society always stands
ready to do its share toward any
other improvement on church prop
erty that may be needed.
The report of the president to the
fourth quarterly conference showed
a good working balance of cash on
hand, but the greatest asset of the
society Is the social life; the present
president has been privileged to see
the Aid Society grow to Its present
large membership and though the
work of the members is not as hard
as in former years yet the receipts
are greater, due to the f~aithfulness
of the members and the interest
shown by the majority to increase
Its membership and thereby In
crease its revenue.
Epworth League, Mrs. H. B. Ware,
president. The report of the Ep-
worth League showed that they had
accomplished a good work during
the year. This is a work, however,
which cannot be counted in dollars
and cents but no doubt when the re-
ward comes from the charitable
work done 1t will be "Inasmuch as
We did 1t unto one of the least of
these my brethren. We did 1t unto
me-" This league, as compared
with other leagues on the New
Brunswick district, makes a very
favorable showing.
The fishers Union. President. L.
e. Suits. The Ushers Union has
not failed to provide ushers for a
