CHURCH REDEDICATED.
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,

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.

Knowledge of’ direction seems to be

the table itself will be not the “table

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

run over by passing vehicles. With his
bare hands he gently rubbed the mud
