Congregational Church

The Easter services in the Congrega-
| tional church were well attended. The
sermon in the morning was on the sub
iect, ''The Risen Life" The pastor drew
proofs of the souls immortality from
certain great outstanding facts near at
hand. Nature teaches immortality; Rea-
sons handmade, Science, proclaim' 1t;
the soul greatly desires it, and all great
natural desires lead to realization, gener-
ally to a realization that far transcepds
the desire; Christ affirmed Immortality,
and if the life TO which He would call us
is the ideal, though we may doubt its
practicability at the present stage of hui
man development, then we may trust
Him when he opens to our view a glimpse
of the realm that ordinarily lies beyond
the ken of mortal vision; God promises
Immortality.
The Easter music was of high order.
The large chorus choir, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Merrill, lent much inspiration
to the service. The anthem, "As 1t Be-
Began to DAWN, by Martin, sang by
Clifford Barrows and chorus, was espec-
tally we'll rendered. The church was
beautifully decorated.

German Invasion of Bonneville

Excitement ran high on the Brooklyn
side last Friday morning and the anti
, German sentiment, which has been grow
| ing during the winter months, reached a
spectacular climax when the proprietor
| of Morrsvile's suburban store dlscov-
cred "time bomb" on his store stepe at
about $50 O'Clock. Following, as it did,
the many heated discussions in this
store of the great war tragedies. with
the graphic description of the atrocities
OF the Germans and the probable inva-
sion by air ships of our quiet village, pic
tured so wildly by an .English resident
across the bridge, the appearance of the
bomb" just as it had been prophesied,
was too much for even the steady nerves
of Fremont and the neighborhood was
at once aroused, a general alarm sound
ed, and as had been pointed out, Morris
villes indifference and lack of prepared
ness was ingloriouly proven, the only re-
spouse, outside of a few interested neigh
bors being Officer Bunch" Drown, who
swore he would not touch the internal
machine for all the money in the Norris
VILE bank, including the 1916 Christmas
clubs. At this point the Bridge street
merchant showed his courage by seiz-
ing a long handled shovel and gingerly
carrying the bomb" which was liable
to explode at any moment, to a lot
across the road, where he lett the OUTFIT,
shovel and all. Here it remained men
ace to the neighborhood until States
Attorney Maurice and Sheriff George
E. Towne together mustered up courage
to approach and in face OF imminent
danger, carried the messenger of destruc-
ton to secluded spot in the dark re-
cesses of Bill Shermans barber shop,
where it is still ticking away the seconds
and where Morrisvile's expert machin-
lists are still working with feverish haste
TO nd the com binatio and save the ex-
cited population.
1t is formidable looking continuance,
consisting Of an alarm clock. connected
by electric wires and fuse to a large
black ball. 1t might easily have been
left there by German spies passing in an
air ship, although local German sympa,
Tiers have the audacity to suggest that
it might just as likely have been made
nearer home. Others see only the newt
able breaking up of the winter evening
discussion with the coming of spring,
with no hopes of returning to the pleas
ant relations of the "box stove sages'
until late next fall, when it may be all
over.

UniversaliSt Church

The Easter congregation was the larg-
est of tie year and larger than it as
often been on similar occasions. 1t is
hoped that those who found the Easter
service attractive, will come oftener to
make our regular services measure up to
that.
Pensioners will be gratified to learn
that our Easter offering amounted
this year to eighty dollars. When the
fact that none of the Sunday school
classes, which have contributed at other
times, gave the usual amount this year,
we have just cause for feeling that once
again we have done well.
The Young Peoples service was ex-
cused last Sunday evening, in order that
all might go to one of the concerts.
Watch for the special call for our an
nual quota to the State Convention. This
has been due for some time, but has not
been paid for fear it would get in the
way of the Easter offering.
There will be demonstration of Wear
Eyer aluminium cooking utensils by l..

ing Utensil Co., New Kingston, Pa, at

tori and manufacture of Wear-Ever

the metal, together with tests of cook
ing, etc., proving the statements. Re
freshmeuts of articles prepared at dem

Methodist Church

There was a goodly number at the
Thursday evening service last week and
also at the special service on Good Fri
day morning.
Though the weather was somewhat
unfavorable on Sunday morning, the con-
gregation was well represented at the
Sunrise Praise service and the testimony
of all present was, sit is good TO here"
The regular Preaching service called
out a large audience. The Young Mems
Orchestra rendered good service and the
Easter music of the choir surpassed all
previous years. Mrs. Jackson's solo was
exceptionally fine. The pastor preached
a strong and HELPFUL sermon, and 10 re-
manned for Sunday School.
The Junior Leauge was led by Nellie
ingalls,. The pastor has been ably assist
ed in his work for the children by Miss
Charlotte Camp.
There was short Epworth League
service Sunday evening and in the alb
sence of the regular leader, the me Getting
was led by Miss Camp.
The Easter exercises Sunday evening
demonstrated to the large audience pres.
ent that the Methodist Sunday School is
a live issue. The program gave evidence
of the fact that the members of the COM
mittee had done their duty and were
ably assisted by the officers and teachers
of the school. We feel that special men
ton should be made of Mrs. CornelPs
class and Mrs. Best's class.
The Baraca class will serve supper in

that every person who loves the Lore
Jesus would come to Prayer meeting.

preach from the subject. "How to Opel

ject that every christian ought to be in
terested in, because of its practical appli
cation to every day life.

Disposition of garbage in Aberdeen
provoked considerable discussion at
Wednesday nights city council ses-
sion. It started from complaint
made through Councilman j. d. Walk
or, that garbage cans in many sec
= MS had been knocked down and the
ntents scattered. 1t is practically
apostolic to catch these offenders,
stated councilmen. Councilman An
ton Pista declared that garbage col
lections should be free, anyway, the
cost of the work being included in
the tax levy. To this Councilman
James Empey objected that it would
be difficult to make some ely by
night restaurants, here today, there
tomorrow, pay any such tax. Pista
retorted that the owner OF the prop
erty could pay and add it to the rent.
Empey moved that future purchas-
es of provisions for charity be made
by Rev. Charles McDermoth in whole
sale lots. Motion carried, after some
holes in choice of purchases recent
ly made from local grocery to re-
lieve a needy family. One purchase
was of a 50-cent bottle of salad oil.
The $43 paid by Mayor j. NJ. Phil
lips to unemployed men to clear snow
from the streets, last week, WAS or

Bids for the city printing from the
