G. A. R. Post and the Patriotic
Orders of the city will attend the

Wells, pastor of the Centenary M.

The offering taken up at this SER
vice will be given to the Lambert
vile members of the Red Cross
Society to be used by them in the
purchase of materials. The supplies
needed for the hospitals are being
made by our townspeople; but the
cost of the necessary materials is
greater than can be met by the
money in hand. These hospitals and
the Surgeons and Physicians must
have tn e ready supplies for the
wounded and sick. Both surgical
dressings and garments are being
made by our people. Will you make
your gifts to help meet the necessary
cost?
Come and Help Make the Offering
a Large One.

Guards to Drill

Captain H. R. Wilbur, of the
Lambertville Home Guards, is ar
ranging to call the members of the
organization several times during
the next two or three weeks, for
practice. Captain Wilbur says that
it is desirable to call them out,
armed, while there is no apparent
danger; in order that the success of
the undertaking may be given a
practical test.
The calls will be made evenings,
and may be mistaken for fire alarms
by some, but there will be no occas-
ion for excitement.
