meeting with supper, at the church par
ors last evening, with an attendance of
about 40, At the close of the supper a

Placing its loyalty to country first, the
class voted to purchase a $50 Liberty
bond and to do it to-day, Liberty day,
and also voted $25 toward the purchase
of testaments for the soldier boys. An
other line of work, pursued for several
years, is the sending OF money to assist
in the education of certain girl in Mex
leo, and the usual sum of $50 was voted
for that purpose.
Beginning next Sunday, as an expert
ment, the Philathea class will meet at
