CIILDREN'S DAY - Sunday
last, was, according to the plan OF
custom of the church, duly observ-
ed as Children's Day, and perhaps
there was more life and spirit Civ
en- the doings of the day in the
fact that the weather was so de-
lightfully pleasant in striking con-
tract with the very hot days pre-
ceding The church was not so
elaborately decorated as usual.
While there seemed to be an
abundance of bouquets and a large
stand of choice pot flowers, there
was not the artistic display we are
accustomed to seeing on such oc-
casions. This, however, is largely
explained in the fact that the ar
rangement of the flowers as made
and left on Saturday night was
very much changed and very hur-
riedly rearranged on Sunday
morning in order that the black
board might be used in the morn
ing sermon. AS per arrangement
the Rev. w. G. Johnson of the
Philadelphia Conference conducted
both the morning and evening ser
vice. The sermon in the morning
was especially addressed to the
children. 1t was based upon the
parable of the builder upon the
rock and upon the sand, and by the
use of the black board was made
very clear, interesting and instruc-
tive. In the afternoon a special
program was substituted for the
regular Sunday School service, the
exercises being held in the audi
torium Of the church, the school
occupying the front seats. The
opening chorus under the direction
of Chorister Groves. Miss Jennie
Smithers at the organ, accompan-
led by Harry Jefferson, cornetist,
was well rendered. Paul Jefferson
made the opening address in his
usual pleasing manner. Mr. L.
Irving Handy, Principal of our
Public Schools, was very attentive
Iy listened to in some excellent re-
marks upon the superiority Of NOR
al to mental education. Mr.. Her
man Roe also entertained the aud
fence in sprightly address urging
the children to have a purpose in
life. One of the decided pleasures
Of the afternoon was the listening
to the reading of very appropriate
selections by Misses M. G. Bell and
Bet. Smithers. The exercises were
interspersed with songs of both the
main and infant schools, the latter
being under the direction of Miss
Elva Carrow, Miss Kate Douglass
at the organ. The program was
in charge of the pastor Rev. j. ID.
Rigg. In the evening, Rev. Mr..
Johnson preached to well filled
house, having for his subject "All
Are Yours" the passage referring
to the preaching of Paul, Appollis,
and Cephas, closing with a prayer
by Rev. j. t. VanBurkalow, in
which he made a ten minutes ex-
egesis Of the text and subject.
Tygert's Phosphate Works - A
visit to the works of J. E. Tygert
& Co., shows it to be more than
ever the busy place of enterprise
and labor. Just now is between
seasons; the sales for the spring
crops are over and the mill is be-
ing placed in a thorough state of
preparation for the large fall
trade. Several of the heavy artic-
les of machinery are being replac-
ed by new; in addition nearly every
thing is duplicated, SO that in case
of accident no longer delay need be
had than the time to remove the
broken and put in the new. This
is expensive of course, but more
economical than the loss of time
and production that would other
wise be required in sending off to
the shops. One, and most of the
