was q success, both In program and the
splendid community spirit manifested,
as we'll as in the liberal amount given
the Red Cross. A delightful program
under the direction of Miss Thompson,
musical instructor, opened the exerci-
ses. The school orchestra played sew
eral stirring new wal songs, and the
glee club two English songs. Rev.
Fisher, with much enthusiasm, CON-
Quoted the singing. Interesting
sketches of the origin of many of the
best songs were read by students. Rev.
Bailey commented on the success Of
the community sing as introduced in
Wild wood, also on the large collection

At the last official Board meeting of
the 1st M. E. church held Tuesday
night, 1t was very gratifying to the
Board to learn that the church had
not only taken care of its owl obliga-
tions during the year but it has given
very freely to other causes, amounting
close to two hundred dollars. This
gift is in addition to taking notes out
of the bank of long standing of nearly
six hundred dollars. This success is
due to the cooperation of a strong en-
thusiastic official Board of men and
women. The financial success of the
church for the year as we'll as the gifts
the congregation made to help win
the war, was not only pleasing, but it
was ever more pleasing, to feel the
warmth of Christian fellowship that
prevails. When the coal famine
struck Wildwood, DR.. Edwards had
already arranged 10 hold revival meet
ings. He had secured the assistance
of an able Evangelist to help In the
meetings. Lack of coal made 1t neces-
sary to call the meeting off until a later
date.
