BETHANY M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

Sunday last was a day of much in
terest at Bethany throughout the day.
The class meeting was spiritually
good. Bro. Absalom Hewitt, leader,
was assisted by Bro. Leonard Carman.
After Glass, Rev. ]. R. Price dis
cussed the subject: "The Temptation
of Christ"
The Sunday School is rapidly grow
ing, both in attendance and financial
ly.
In the evening the Epworth League
service proved to be one of much in
t%erest, led by William Perkins. The
Juniors, who are active in their own
society, also take part with the SEN
iors, being very prompt with scripture
readings. Mrs. Frendlich, who is an
active worker of the Wesley NJ. E.
Church among the children, was pres
emit, and addressed the Juniors and
Seniors in a pleasing manner She
gave an elaborate talk upon the activ-
ity of the Juniors, which was much
appreciated by all present.
At 8 o'clock the services were con-
Quoted by Lawyer L. D. Champion.
An interesting part of the service was
the presentation of the Communion
Individual Service, which did much
credit to the Brother, as it was
through his interest and influence that
the service was presented to the
church, by a dear lady friend Of Mr..
and Mrs. Champion. The generous
lady is the well-known and much low
ed Mrs. Charles Campbell, who gave
the beautiful service in sad but low
ing memory of her deceased husband,
whom everyone who knew him held in
high esteem. There was also a Bap-
tismal Bowl presented by the friends
of the church, through the efforts of
Mrs. Randolph Price. A rising vote
of thanks was given for the gifts and
the kind givers. The beautiful SER
vice was the admiration of all the
members and congregation. Bro.
Champion delivered a most powerful
sermon, which was full of %eloquence.
Mr.. John Lamar and wife were pres
ent and favored with several solos,
which were soul stirring. He also
sang a duet with Miss Sapp, which
was very impressive.
Altar services followed.

REV. PRICE CALLED
FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

At a meeting recently held at Beth
any NJ. E. Church, at which the Dis
trict Supt., Rev. Demaris presided, all
the business affairs of the church for
the past year were approved as sat
isfactory. The election of officers
was confirmed, all of which was har-
monious and satisfactory. Bro. De-
Maris deemed it best for the pastor to
return another year, as the church is
in good standing financially and spir-
itually. Rev. Price objected to this,
thinking a change would be more BEN
eicial. 1t was also voted that he be
paid a salary, which was carried. A
motion that a purse of money be made
up and presented to Rev. Price for his
untiring interest in the church in the
past, was approved and carried. The
members and friends presented him
with a neat sum daintily arranged in
a royal purple satin money sack. Bro.
Price was much impressed by the
kindness and expressed his heart felt
thanks to one and all for their love
and appreciation towards him.
Bro. L. D. Champion, who has so
ably assisted Rev. Price during the
past, will not be forgotten. He, too,
was called to keep on with the good
work, but owing to ill health, is
obliged to give up several duties and
offices which were dear to his heart.
Therefore, being under no obligations,
he will at times, assist us, when his
health permits.

CLARK HEWITT CELEBRATES
EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY

Tuesday last marked the 80th
birthday anniversary of Clark Hewitt,
of Merchantville, and formerly of
Pleasantville. 1t is quite interesting
to hear him relate his many expert
ences. He tells us he voted for Pres
ident Lincoln and served in the war
under his administration.
He also states holding his member
ship in the Methodist Church for 81
years. His memory fails to recall a
day of ever being confined to bed by
illness. He enjoyed quite a portion

best of spirits. He is o at Ocean

EGG HARBQR TOWNSHIP
FARMERS CLUB ORGANIZED
County Farm Demonstration Assisted
In First Meeting, Held in English
Creek School House, When Officers
We're Elected.
MUCH GOOD ANTICIPATED

On Monday evening, March 18th,
the County Farm Demonstration as
sisted in organizing the Egg Harbor
Township Farmers Club.
The first meeting was held in the
English Creek school house with an
attendance of thirty-nine, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Mr.. Ellis; Vice-President, Joseph
English; Secretary, Andrew English;
Treasurer, Charles L. Smith.
The purpose of the club is to dis
cuss practical topics in season, to ex-
change views on farm matters and to
cooperate in the purchase of such
things as lime, fertilizers, spray ma
~terials, etc.
1t was decided that the club should
meet every Monday evening during
March, and every other Monday we
ming from April 1st to October LIST,
the meetings to be held at the English
Creek and the Scullville school houses,
alternately.
A large part of the credit for this
organization is due to Nh. Ellis, man.
ager of Judge T~hompson's farm, who
first proposed the meeting and also
did much to interest the farmers in
the project. We trust that this is the
beginning of one of the strongest or
CARNATIONS in Atlantic County, for we
believe that the more perfectly the
farmers are organized, the more they
can accomplish.
