IL IS with very deep regret tnat
we have to recall the announce
ment made in last weeks letter
that Rev. w. H. Briggs would be
here and conduct the afternoon SER
vices at the formal opening of Salem
NJ E. Church next Sunday, October
21st. Since that time Rev. Briggs
has suffered some illness, and has
written the pastor, Rev. E. NJ
Shockley, that it was necessary for
him to cancel. . his engagement for
that date, therefore the afternoon
services will be dispensed with al
together, as the purpose of 1t was
"a get-together meeting" of former
friends of both Rev. and Mrs. Briggs.
If nothing happens to permit Rev.
Vinol E. Hills. will be here as an
nounced, and will officiate both
morning and evening.
The attendance at the mid-week
prayer meeting is still on the in
crease, thirty-six having been pres
ent last Wednesday night.

sionary Society cleared about $4,000
from the dinner of which Mrs. NAL
com Pritchett was general chairman
on Thursday night of last week.

Day and a splendid lot of gifts on
display at the altar. Rev. Shockley
used a very appropriate text for the
occasion: IL Samuel "a and "a
