Basket Social a Success.

The basket social given at the
First NJ. E. church parlors last Fri
day evening was success, both fin
ancially and socially. Mr.. Sidney
Stone acted as auctioneer and all
baskets sold we'll. A short program
was given with musical numbers and
two recitations. The pastor, Rev.
Parmeter was called upon to give Il
short address. In his talk he COM
plimented the beautiful little church
as it is today, and compared the pre-
sent condition with the appearance
years ago, when it was nothing but
swimming pond. The proceeds
amounted to $51 and were to help
defray the expense Of the new par
lors. Rev. Parmeter and J. R. Loney
are to be congratulated upon their
work for most Of the labor has been
executed by them. The parlors, which
consist Of a large reception room,
cloak room and kitchen, are equipped
with steel ceiling, the walls are paint
ed and the rooms are nicely lighted
with electric lights. It has required
a lot Of perseverance and grit to
bring about this transformation.
