Fiué Hall Reformed Church Extensively Repaired-—-Historical Notes, The Pine Hall Reformed church was re-dedicated Bunday, 20d inst. During the day $1500 was raised, and $200 more pledged, consequently the edifice was dedicated free of cost, The improvements consisted of a new belfry and bell, new furnishings for the pulpit ; new chandeliers were installed, which add very materially to the interior decorations ; new car- pets laid and the interior frescoed and the exterior repainted. The church property is now valued at $6,200. The dedicatory sermon was deliver- ed by Rev, 8B. H. Btein, of Lock Ha- ven, and the historical sermon by Rev, W. H. Grob, of Carlisle, a former pastor. The memorial windows are beautiful in design and coloring. The insecrip- tions on them are as follows ; Rev, P, B. Fisher, Rev. W. H. Groh, J. C. Krumrineand wife, F. Kreiger and wife, Jacob Roup and wife, Benjamin Corl and wife, George Myers and wife, Jacob Neidigh and wife. The congregation is in a flourishing condition, and the pastor, Rev. A. A, Black, is justly proud of his flock and their liberality in giving on this par- ticular occasion. HISTORICAL, It was io 1832 that Rev, P. 8B. Fisher, of the Boalsburg Reformed charge, sud Rev. Daniel Moser, of the Piue Grove Mills Lutheran charge, orga nized a union church at Pine Hull, worshiping in the near-by school house, then known as * Bwarizville.” Several years later the old log edifice was erected, and io this old time build- ing the members of the two congregs- tions continued to worship until 1876, At that time the Lutherans built a new church across the way. For ten years more the members of the pred an Reformed congregation worship the old Iu the 1585 several meetings, home, ently part of ufter the new church, consisted of Daniel M. Neidigh and The late Jacob Rupp furnished chureh lot. The work was at ounce be- guu, and io the same year the stone was laid, Rev, M. A. Bmith, Nuzareth, being the officiating minp- ister. The contribution on that occa. sion was but $27.50, leaving a large amount to ve provided for. The anpex was made comfortable for Binday school work, but the regu- lar church services were held in the old church until January, 1878, when the new edifice was dedicated, Rev, ( W. Hileman officiating. The church officers Jobligated them- selves for $500 in order that it might be dedicated on that day. In the sixty-five years of the con- gregation's existence but few pastors shepherded the once small flock of less than a dozen members, but now numbering one hundred and thirty. THE PASTORS, Rev.

AIM SAAS Bubseribe for the Reporter, hI I ee — et i . ow — “Oriented” Orientals, Knowledge of’ direction seems to be instinctive with the Burmans, says the author of “A People at School.” They always reckon by the needle, not by relative position. They do not say “Turn to the right,” west,” If a table tumblers on it, in a room has twa of them will be the east tumbler, the other the west, and the table itself will be not the “table near the window,” but the “table in the east of the room.” So they speak of the north or south side of a street or of a tree, not the shady or sunny side. Even In rain or mist they know the direction at once. An English traveler, walking In the Burman forest on a foggy morning to find all trace of the road wiped out by rain and every ap parent means of ascertaining direc- tion gone,-was at a loss what to do, but his Burman servants knew af once. “That is north,” they sald, point.

One day Carlyle suddenly stopped af a street crossing and, stooping, picked up something t of the mud, even af the risk of being knocked down and run over by passing vehicles. With his bare hands he gently rubbed the mud from It. He then took it to the pave ment and laid it down on a clean spot on the curbstone. “That” sald the old man in a tone of tenderness he rarely used, “is only a crust of bread.
