{ —-—This time last week most every-
Bay in Bellefonte was talking about
8. R. Russell Blair and her won-
derfully entertaining Green and White
Revue. But the most gratifying part
of it is that the three performances
netted, notwithstanding the big ex-
pense connected in producing it, be-
tween $950 and $1,000; and persons
interested have signified their inten-
tion of raising a sufficient sum to
make it an even thousand to turn over
to the community nurse fund. That
is another big reason why the Green
and White Revue was such a splendid
success.

the job of washing the windows in the
office of ’Squire Woodring, on the sec-

evidently was dizzy in the head as he
fell against one of the windows and
broke one of the big plate glass.
Then he undertook to look out to see
where the broken glass fell and tum-
bled out head foremost among some
passing school children. He was
stunned for a few minutes then gath-
ered himself up and went back up-
stairs and finished the job. In falling
he hit one of Hany MaRS little
daughters and hurt her arm, but so
far as.could be- learned she is not
seriously injured. ?

: Sunday School Room.
With ceremonies appropriate to the
Herculean effort that has given a
small congregation the most modern
and complete Sunday school room in
Bellefonte the United Evangelical
congregation will, on Sunday next,
‘ dedicate the fruits of their work to
the service of God.
We know of no other group of
, Christian people, so small and with
i limited means, that would have under-
taken the pretentious building plan
, they did, but with a leader who in-
spired them spiritually and led them
lin physical endeavor they have come
through with a wonderful achieve-
ment.
| The dedicatory celebration will be-
i gin with a banquet and get-together
meeting tomorrow evening. Sunday
, morning at 9:15 superintendent E. J.
{ Teaman and his twenty-eight assist-
rants will conduet Sunday school for

: D., LL. D., will preach. At 2:30 there
will be a platform meeting in charge
of S. D. Gettig Esq., and a number of
visiting clergymen are expected to
speak. At 7 in the evening Bishop
Breyfogel will deliver the dedicatorv
sermon and immediately following the
consecration of the edifice will be per-
formed.
The Imperial quartette of First
church, Williamsport, will sing at all
the services.

atory to a two week’s evangelistic
campaign which is to be conducted by
Rev. B. F. Campbell, a talented lead-

preacher and a man with a message.
| The Sunday school room was start-
ed a little over a year ago and is im-
mediately at the rear of the church,
on the same floor level and designed
to be readily opened as part of the
church auditorium. It has sixteen
separate class rooms all designed so
- that they can be under the observa-
tion of the superintendent at the same
time and when the enclosing glass
doors are opened every room and
every part of the assembly room has
full view of the church pulpit. . The
total seating capacity is 1000.
After the dedication we will publish
a full description. Suffice it now to
say that the enterprise thus far has
cost a trifle over $24,000. The plans
when completed will reveal the old
frame church as a brick structure, for
it is to be encased and with an archi-
tectural prospectus that will be a de-
cided ornament to the south portion
of Bellefonte. . ;
The committee in charge of the en-
terprise is composed of Edward F.
Young, chairman; E. J. Teaman, Rev.
. Reed O. Steely, Fred Billet, Willis A.
