very much to he commended as
enhancing the appearance, and is
something many more ought to
do. Mr.. Reed ought not to be
alone in the performance of such
l.eedfuI establishment.
The third quarterly meeting OF
this circuit was held yesterday
afternoon at Horatio. While the
weather was propitious, yet the
attendance from here failed for
want of jitney to convey.
Our M. E. ladies' held a bazaar
and served supper in the base
mert of the church and it seems
from report the venture was en-
couragingly lucrative and they
feel glad of it. They adopted a
new departure in the service,
which was that eatables were
served by them. Everyone chose
their articles and paid for what
they got. To the writer this
seems the proper way to conduct
such ventures. They are not
given to feed the hungry wholly,
but to raise money for religious
improvements or charity and for
these reasons alone the largest
amount of money is the object
sought and this plan will get it,
Gormandizlng for such occasions
ought to be cut out as much as
possible.
We are now looking forward to
Easter, a day we never fail to
celebrate in some way, but most
ly in one way. 1t is church
festival and celebrates the res
direction of Christ, and while it
is movable, there is an invariable
rule to determine it's date, and
adopts the first Sunday following
the full moon occurring after the
2Oth of March. This year Easter
occurs as late as it is possible for
it to come.
Our M. E. Sunday school had
an attendance yesterday of 139.
On next Sunday it is the wish of
our superintendent to have 200
or more present. Will the num-
ber be there? If weather condi-
tions are favorable we confident
ly expect them there. The peo-
pie are in the vicinity and they
will not fail. At that time many
of us will have new clothes and
catchy headgear and will want to
get out to show our fnery, and
not only that, but to see what
others have on exhibition. Oh,
yes. we will all want to see and
be seen. Let not this be our on
ly motive, but rather to do good
and advance the cause of righte-
