Here is a Chance for Everybody to
Own a Bank.
Every person, young or old, should
keep a bank account. It's what you
save, not what you earn, that makes
you rich. Save the dimes and the dol
lars will take care of themselves. The
First National Bank of Emporium,
gives you an opportunity to start a
bank account.
Next Saturday afternoon from 2:30
p. m., until 4:00 p. m., if you call
at the Bank we will loan you one of
our Home Savings Banks, if you will
deposit §2.00, credit for which will be
given you in a pass book. The §2.00
we require before loaning you the
Bank, will be returned to you when
ever you desire to return the Bank to
us.
Its advantages:—You have in your
home a bank always open for
you can drop in small amounts you
would not take to any bank, thus pre
venting you from spending it You
cannot shake or get it out, as we hold
the key. These Home Savings Banks
are to bo brought to Bank every two
months, to be opened and the amount
placed to your credit on your pass
book, between the hours of 2:30 and
•1:00 p. m., on the last Saturday of the
following months : January, March,
May, July, September and November.
Start your children with one of these
handsome nickelplated Home Savings
Banks, as this is one of the best plans
ever devised to encourage them in
economy and frugality.
Laboring men or women, who are
able to lay aside a small amount daily
or weekly, will find these safes the
most convenient and effectual means
to accomplish that end.

Reduced Rates to Renovo Account
Odd Fellows Day.
For the benefit of those desiring to
attend the I. O. O. F. Anniversary at
Renovo, Thursday, April 20th, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
sell excursion tickets to Renovo from
all stations, Kane to Sunbury, inclu
sive, at rate of one first class fare for
the round trip, with minimum of 25c.
Tickets to be good on April 26tli, only.
Restored the Reduction.
C. B. Howard & Co., have restored
the ten per cent.cut in wages, made in
1894, and at last Saturday's payday the
men received their advance. Of
course the employees were delighted.
Disgraceful.
The disgraceful drunken scenes
almost nightly taking place iu Em
porium, calls for some action on the
part of our officials. It is simply
an outrage.
EASTHR AT THE CHURCHES.
Large Attendance at all Churches -
Fine Singing—Elaborate Programs.
Last Sunday was a beautiful day and
greatly aided in making Easter day a
happy occasion in Emporium. The
services at the several churches were
more elaborate than for years.
EPISCOPAL.
The floral decorations in the Emman
uel Church were rich and chaste.
Easter and calla lilies adorned the altar
and front, potted hyacinths stood in
the windows beside the altar, and
palms before th 6 lectern and praver
desk.
The musical part of the services was
well rendered. Tours' service was
used, with Smart's Te Deum and Stain
er's Easter anthem, "They Have Taken
Away i\ly Lord."
The sermon was from the text, "Ex
cept a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abidetli alone: but if
it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
The truth was set forth that Christ died
and rose again and ascended to Heaven
for the purpose of incorporating (for
Ilia followers) His wonderful character
of love and goodness with the unseen
world. The termination of His indi
vidual earthly existence, His departure
to the unseen world, was indeed the
falling of <a corn of wheat into the
ground ;itjwas ma agie touch which has
opened up and vitalized and made
available, for the purposes of man's
spiritual life, the infinite resources of
the unseen, eternal world.
The following vestrymen were chos
en at the parish meeting on Monday
evening: A. W. Baker, Thos. Gallagher,
B W. Green, Josiah Ifoivard, W. H.
Howard, Joseph Kaye, J. D. Logan, C.
P. Mankey, Thos. Trotter, Georgo A.
Walker.
METHODIST.
The Easter services in the M. E.
Sunday School was not so elaborate
this year, on account of the prevailing
sickness, but the program, while short,
was unique in character.
The opening service, "Mary Magda
lene," was fine. After this three little
girls, Edith DeArmot, Bessie Covert
and Margaret Ullrich, took their places
in front of the pulpit, and Miss Maude
Tb o mas, re presen ti n g "death, "occupied
one side of the altar and Miss Nellie
Lingle, representing "life," on the oth
er side. Bessie Covert recited "The
Child's Easter Question," in eloquent
style, after which Edith DeArmot and
Margaret Ullrich recited and sang "My
Mother's Song,"the rendition of which
was delightful. Misses Thomas and
Ling'ie performed their parts nicely
and the effect was highly pleasing.
Rev. Metzler gave au excellent talk,
appropriate to the occasion, expressing
delight with the program.
At this juncture the primary depart
ment was tendered their Easter offer
ings c onsisting of candy rabbits, etc.
PRESBYTERIAN.
AS usual, Easter services were held
at the Presbyterian Church on last
Sabbath which was largely attended.
The music by the choir was unusually
fine. The theme of the sermon by the
pastor was the Resurrection of the
Saviour. An argument in support of
the great truth was presented as based
on the unanswerable evidence which
is open to every earnest student of the
Bible, and the history of its application
to the world. The Sabbath School
scholars were each and all presented
with a beautiful Easter card. The ser
vices of the Junior Endeavor Society
and the Senior Society were gathered
about the same central truth. The
evening service was one for the chil
dren, consisting mainly of songs, an
thems, and five or six earnest addresses
by as many different persons. The
pulpit and platform had been beauti
fully decorated with lilies and an at
tractive display of other flowers.
CATHOLIC.
Easter Services at St. Mark's was the
most elaborate ever witnessed in Em
porium An elaborate program was
prepared and under Rev. Downey's
direction was admirably rendered, viz:
10:30 A. M., HIGH MASS.
Organ Solo,. ."Toccata in I). Miner,"....B. Bach.
"Kyrie," Leonard.
"Gloria," Leonard.
"Credo," Mozart.
"Offertory," Ilaca Diea, A. Werner.
"Sanctur," Leonard.
'•Annus Dor," Leonard.
"Hallehujah Chorus," Handel Gottschalz.
EVENING SERVICE, 7:30 I'. M.
Organ Solo, Batlisle.
Vespers, Marzo.
"Regina Caeli," E. Mikel.
"O Salutans," Verdi.
"Tantura Ergo," i*'« are.
"Te Deum," Grerjorion.
March, Clark.
At the morning service which was
very largely attended. Father Down
ey delivered an able sermon—the moat
eloquent he has ever given to this con
gregation The floral offerings were
the handsomest ever seen here and the
decorations simply beggars description.
The chancel and altar was one beauti-
ful mound of costly cut flowers, palms,
ferns and potted plants. Never has it
been our opportunity or privilage to
witness a more beautiful Easter decora
tion. and if it has not yet been removed
it will repay any of our readers to visit
the church and view the lovely sight.
Well may Father Downey be proud of
the work so tastily arranged by the
ladies of his congregation.
