RALLY DAY AT
THE M. E. CHURCH
Membership Of the Church and Sab
bath School Of the N. e. Society
Have Notable Gathering.
SERMON FOR ELDERLY MEMBERS
Choir Renders Appropriate Music,
Miss laub Presiding at the
Great Organ

Sunday, October 9th, will long be
considered one of the red letter days
in the history Of the Denison NJ. E.
church. The Sunday school made a
special effort for attendance with a
Rally day and the pastor, Rev. Sen
seney, chose for his sermon thoughts
appropriate for such an occasion. The
Sunday school had placed the arrange
ments in the hands of committee
composed of Mrs. Penney, Mrs. Girls
we'll and Mrs. A. ]. Bond. AS will be
seen all members have reputation
for doing things, which they sustained.
AS was appropriate for this season
of the year, the pulpit platform was
decorated with the ripened fruits of
the season. Tall stocks of corn,
pumpkins, grasses and autumn flow
ers were all tastefully arranged.
A special effort was made for the
attendance of the elderly members OF
the church and congregation, and as
the day was pleasant an unusually
large number were present. The ser,
mon was specially designed for those
past middle life, holding up the pleas
ures and glories of life beyond the
grave. The text was taken from Rev
citation, which told of the palms OF
victory for those who were deemed
worthy of never ending life in heaven.
The choir, under the direction of Mr..
B. J. Sibbert, and led with the great
organ, Miss Hazel Laub as musician,
rendered magnificent music. 1t might
be here noted that on the Sabbath,
November 10th, the choir OF this
church will give sacred concert, oc-
cupying the entire evening hour.
There was some rivalry among the
various classes as to which should in
vite the largest number OF visitors for
rally day. The first order of eXer-
cises was the calling of the roll OF
classes and asking the visitors to rise
and be counted to determine which
class had succeeded in getting the larg-
est number of friends to be present.
The count showed that the class
taught by Mrs. Pierce was entitled to
the prize.
One of the most successful depart
ments of this school is the primary,
under direction of Mrs. Voss, Miss
Willetta Strahan, Miss VanNess and
others. The little ones always make
pleasing showing and on this occas-
ion they marched upon the pulpit plat
form and sang number OF approprl-
ate selections. After this the teach
ers taught their classes as usual. The
report of the secretary showed over
two hundred and sixty present. We
are informed that this will not be
the last of special programs given by
