A Communication
e0nLe 0f MorrianiLLe.-

To the People Of Morrispille:-
We are sorry that sucn false statements
have been said in our town of Pastor
Russell and his followers, but it is COM
forting to know these things are falsely
said.
Even our dear Lord, the noblest OF the
noble, was falsely accused and slandered
IS friend Of publcans and harlot, ;
charged with being a glutton and wine
bibber and called the prince of devils.
II they did these thinga to him, he as
sures us they will do the same to us. 1t
seems too bad that we as Christians
should SO far forget the Golden Rule that
we could say such slanderous things.
How well we should remember the
Apostles words "Speak evil of no man"
That which God has cleansed let us call
not common or unclean.
Having for the past eleven years made
a Cal eful study of Pastor Russel's teach
ings as compared with the Bible can
truly say they are great Servant in
bringing to light the wonderful truth of
Gods plan as the faith once delivered to
the Saints, and am glad TO recommend
them to all Truth hungrying ones.
Let us prove all things, holding fast that
which is good.
Yours in Christian fellowship,
A. L. HUNTLEY.

p. A. Ministries a Big Hit

The Melodious Minstrels, as given by
about twenty-five Peoples Academy stu
dents at town hall last Thursday and
Friday evenings, proved to be one of the
best local entertainments given in Nor
rsville in a long time. 1t was both up
to-date and snappy from beginning To
finish and the volume of real minstrel tai.
ent displayed by the participants was a
revelation to the audiences which filled
the house at both performances. The
young men entered into the spirit Of the
occasion with refreshing enthusiasm and
apparently got as much enjoyment from
the jokes and songs as did the audience.
1t was pleasant relaxation in the midst
of busy school year and an occasion
which the people of Morrsville, we be
iieve, would like to see repeated in the
future.
AS inteIlocutor, Mr.. Ralph Terrill
showed unusual talent and to him much
credit was due for the flushed rendition
of the first part Of the program by the
circle.
Brainstorm Bridge and Sapphire Silo-
way. as bones, and Millionaire Meacham
and Gisolene Gates as 'tambos had all
the earmarks of real professionals and
solos aud choIuses by the circle were all
well rendered, perhaps the most pro-
nounced hit being Slick Sideways "By
The Sea-" with chorus.
The Boarding School Octette, consist
iug of the Misses Doris Graves, Esther
Greene, Isabel Harris, Mildred Powell,
Thelma EdmuDds, Nora Greene, Avice
Badger aud Elizabeth Powers, put on
p casing speciality both nights, which
feature was we'll received,
The music by the ?. A. orchestra, was
we'll rendered and added much to the
program. Harlie Wilson acted as pianist
and also as accompanist in veIy accept
able manner. The other musicians were
Harold ODER, comet; Ellis Cram and
Raymond Warren, violins; Raymond
Ellis. clarinet; George Ward, Trombone.
The circle was completed by Ward Bad
yer and Paul Ide, as PickaDinnies, Leon
Stafford, soldier, and Robert Ide, sailor.
About 5000 was cleared which will be |
added to the p. A. Athletic Association |,
fund. Much credit is due Mr.. Reynolds |
who has put in much hard work in pre- |
pairing the entertainment and who acted !
as conductor at both performances.

MorrisvilIe Depot Broken, Into

The depot at Morrisvile was broken
into last Wednesday night. Sometime
after 11:30 entrance was made by break
ing one of the front windows in the tick
ct office. The money drawer was rihed,
but no money was found. The thieves
then turned their attention to the ex-
press room, where numerous packages
were ransacked, but nothing of value
was missing from that department, with
the exception of package of booze, the
visitors having appropriated two quarts
of whiskey and one quart OF wine. A
shipment OF Kodak supplies, consigned
to A. L. Cheney was also broken open,
the only damage to these goods being to
a gross of post cards.
That the thieves had fine sense of hui
NOR and were in no hurry, was evident
from the way in which the Office was
left. Mr.. Kelley's desk was trimmed up
to represent a wel-ordered bar, with
bottles and glasses arranged in APP
proved style. There were no tickets or
mileages missing.
This is the fourth break in this section
in the past three weeks. Two at VOL
colt depot and one at the depot at Hard
wick have been previously reported in
this paper. At the latter place the thieves
succeeded in getting $14 in cash, which
was a Belgian relief fund, besides some
tickets, and at Wolcott, tickets and mile
ages were taken.
Two youths from Wolcott were taken
before Justice D. A. LaFoutain last Fri
day night on suspicion of being implicat-
ed in the matter. Parties who claimed
to have seen two young men around
the depot late Wednesday night, were
called upon to Identify them, stated
positively that they were not the ones.
AS no evidence was found against them,
the boys were released. They were the
same boys upon whom suspicion rested
at the time of the break in Wolcott.
