Rev. Evans Resigns as Pastor of
Presbyterian Church.

July 1st, Rev.
pastor of the Bellefonte Presbyterian
church, effective August 19th, to ac-
cept a call from the congregation of
the Knox Presbyterian church, at
Kearny, N. J. Rev. Evans came to
Bellefonte from Wellsboro just about
fifteen months ago and his brief pas-
torate here has proved a stepping stone
to a much wider field of usefulness, as
the church at Kearny has a member-
ship exceeding seven hundred and is
in the heart of a locality with over
thirty thousand residents. In fact
Kearny is only a short distance from
Newark, N. J. In tendering his resig-
nation Rev. Evans said:
“In taking this action I believe that
I have been divinely and providential-
ly guided and that, in obeying these
promptings of the spirit of God, I
shall be enabled to render a larger
ministry for the glory and praise of
God, the salvation of souls and the en-
nobling and transformation of lives.
The call to this new field of labor
came to your pastor, absolutely un-
sought.
«The Knox Presbyterian church is
located in a rapidly growing commu-
nity, which numbers, at the present
time, nearly 80,000 inhabitants, nearly
two-thirds of whom are of the protest-
ant faith. There are approximately
ten churches administering to the spir-
itual needs of the town. Every pros-
pect points to the doubling of the
population of the community within
the next ten years. The field is with-
in about a half-hour’s ride of the
heart of New York city and within
about ten or fifteen minutes’ ride of
the heart of Newark, N. J., and pre-
sents an opportunity such as seldom
comes to a man in the ministry.
“While the present pastorate has
not been as long as I had expected it
to be, still I feel that another servant
of God, coming with other methods of
approach, may accomplish a larger
work than has been possible under the
present administration. During this
period many souls have been brought
te a knowledge of Christ, the current
expense and benevolent budgets have
been materially increased and are
being met, the adminstrative life of
the church has been more effective,
and souls have been built up in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord.
For all these, and other blessings, we
give thanks and praise unto God.
“As we face the close of the pas-
torate, your minister does so with the
earnest wish and prayer that the
church and congregation may be di-
rected by the good hand of God in the
choice of a new leader, and that the
blessing of a Triune God—Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, may increasing-
ly be yours.”

every evening entertainment go to the
Scenic and watch the motion pictures.
A two hour show of the latest and
best productions of the leading film

— Shortly before five o’clock on
Wednesday evening Gross Bros. Ford
delivery truck was completely wreck-
ed when it was run down by a heavy
fruit truck from Tyrone, at the inter-
section of High and Spring streets.
The driver of the truck was entirely
at fault but doubtless blamed the ac-
cident on his poor brakes which were
not in condition to hold his truck. The
Gross Bros. truck was driven by Ed.
Gross, who had his daughter with him,
but fortunately neither one was in-
jured.

Mrs. Joseph Ceader, and Miss Marga-
ret Cooney left Newark, N. J., to mo-
tor to Bellefonte but at Allentown a
big picnic bus ran into their car

-———C. D. Casebeer, the well known
jeweler of Bellefonte, received a brok-
en arm on the evening of the Fourth
while participating in the sports held
on east Curtin street. After the chil-
dren had participated in the potato
race the men were invited to enter a
race for the entertainment of the
children. A number promptly volun-
teered and during the race Charles F.
Beatty ran against Mr. Casebeer with
sufficient froce to bowl him over and
he fell on his left arm, fracturing the
bones above the wrist. The only oth-
er accident in Bellefonte happened to
a young lady of east Bishop street,
who fractured the small toe on her
left foot when she slipped on the iron
ladder in the swimming pool on
Hughes field.
——Dr. H. Clay Campbell, a well
known veterinarian of Philadelphia,
came to Centre county last week to
spend his vacation and incidentally
was assisting his brother Robert, liv-
ing on the farm at Penn’s Cave, get
in his hay crop. Early Saturday morn-
ing he was helping back the wagon
out of the barn floor when he slipped
and fell, one wheel passing over his
right leg and fracturing the bone
above the ankle. He was brought to
the Bellefonte hospital where the
fracture was reduced, then taken back
to his brother’s home at Penn’s Cave,
where he is resting as comfortably as
possible. In addition to his own lab-
oratory work Dr. Campbell is an in-
structor in veterinary work at the
University of Pennsylvania.

in mind. Following is a list of the

' Annual Sunday School Convention
Held at Orviston.
The fifty-fourth annual Centre
- county Sunday school convention, held
"at Orviston June 27-28, was not as
largely attended as former conven-
tions, but considerable interest was
manifest in the reports of the work
done in Centre county the past year.
George E. MacMillan discussed the
plans for the tri-county and State
training camp on the new grounds
near Franklinville, Huntingdon coun-
ty. The schedule arranged provides
for a girls camp from July 24th to
August 5th; adult workers from Au-
gust 7th to 19th, and boys August
21st to September 7th. The resigna-
tion of I. L. Harvey as a member of
the training camp committee was ac-
cepted and Mr. MacMillan was elected
to fill the vacancy.
Officers elected for the ensuing year
included Prof. I. L. Foster, of State
College, president; George Bixel, of
Orviston, vice president; Darius
Waite, Bellefonte, secretary, and C. C.
Shuey, Bellefonte, treasurer.
An Open Appeal for Bellefonte Chau-
tauqua.
The promotors of the Bellefonte
Chautauqua are making an open ap-
peal to the fraternal organizations and
clubs of Bellefonte, as well as citizens
generally, to give all the assistance
possible in making this year’s Chau-
tauqua a success. The date will be
July 21-26, and so great is the faith of
the guarantors that they have been
willing to guarantee $1300 to bring
the Chautauqua to Bellefonte.
The small sum of $3.00 invested by
an adult in a season ticket; $1.00 for
children and $2.00 for young people,
will give a splendid result in high-
grade entertainment and an indication
that something is being done to boost
the town and promote its welfare.
There are seventy-eight guarantors
and the town will be thoroughly can-
vassed within the week for the sale of
tickets.
A Call for Threshermen.
The Centre county threshermen and
Farmers’ Protective association will

10 o’clock a. m. New legislation af-
fecting traction engines, tractors, in-
surance, and fire insurance on thresh-
ing outfits, saw mills, ete., will be
considered in a way that should in-
terest all operators.
——Qver-size suits are now under-
priced. Stout men have a particular
interest in this sale of suits. They
can choose from a stock which offers
an interesting variety of fabrics, pat-
terns and colors. Plenty of suits,
short, tall and slender as well as those
who wear regular or stout suits.—
