Rev. E. H. Collins Asked
To Return.
The Fourth Quarterly Conference
of the NJ. E. Church was held last
Monday evening. Rev. DR.. Gunby,
presiding elder, was present and
was delighted with the various re-
ports of the different departments
of the church and Sunday School.
The largest number were present
for this conference of any held
during the present year. At the
close of the business for the eve
ming a unanimous vote was given
for the return of Rev. Collins for
his third year. Under the hustling
leadership of Rev. Collins the church

success. During the past two years
a systematic plan of securing mon
ey to meet all expenses of the
church was adopted. This has been
proven without the least bit OF
doubt that it is just the thing needed
for success for any organization.
Under the plan which has been so
successful all expenses have been
met as they fell due.
The Harrington band of thirty
pieces made it's first public appear
ance last evening. They have been
organized just five weeks, and en-
tertained the Chamber of Commerce
with several selections, later as
sembling on the street and played
four numbers. The community has
long felt the need of a band and
judging from the applause given
them last evening it is evidence that
the community will go the limit in
its support for the organization. In
a short time they will want band
uniforms which will cost lot of
money. Some plan will probably be
adopted in the near future to finance
the cost of the uniforms.
