His ex- perience in these lines fit him well for the position. Home time during July a Chautau- qua will be held in Bellefonte cover- iog a period of seven days. A similar Chautauqua will be held in Lock Haven, and last year was held in Lewistown and other points in Peno- aylvapia, These Chautauquas are not money making schemes, but it is the purpose to bring before the people in rural districts through well known lecturers subjects needing discussion. To show a slight appreciation of their pastor, Rev. B. A. Bayder, the members of the United Evangelical congregation at Centre Hall, Egg Hill and Tussey ville presented him a purse, the sum in cash being sufficient to materially aid the minister in securing the necessaries of life, In March Rev. Boyder will close his fourth year on the Centre Hall charge, and his de- parture from bere will be generally regretted.
