"I'heuii," a lural publication devoted to the 'interest of society, made its lu ll ittl bow to the public Saturday. In appearance it Is modeled after the "I'hap-llook" and other publications of thai olasH which have succeeded in win ning popular favor during the last few ui's. The name of the editor of "i'ho 011" is not announced, but in the salu tatory the object of the newcomer Is set forth as follows: "Its purpose is to report in an entertaining und uniu.ua manner all legitimate society news; to publish connectedly such brief sketches about art and music as will both divert und instruct; und, finally, to print only that literature which is of the nobler tpe." The new claimant for public favor Is neatly printed and is quite in teresting. At the last meeting of the board of (coventors of the Country club they decided to offer as prizes, two cups, to be known as the "Governors' cup," and to be held at the Club house, and to be the property respectively, of the lady and gentleman member making the highest score for 18 holes, annually (Itules of medal piny to govern).

ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY St. Peter's Society of Bellevue Cele. . brated That h'vent at Its Hail in Bellevue Last Night. The eleventh anniversary of St. Peter's Total Abstinence and Bnevo lent society, of Ke.levue, was celebrated last nlRht, and the feature of the occa sion was an excellent address by Rev. F. i McNully. of th? West Side. His advice to the niembtrs was to aim at ititi-lleetu.'il advancement. He coun seled them to fovbrnr from attacking the saloonkeeper. Father Mnthiw dl 1 not do It. and his followers should not deviate from his example. The speaker argued that there is nothing' to be gamed by a tadlral ini'thnd of dealing with intemperance. He oanimPtided them to spend their ewnlngs In the very useful yurcuit of knowledge. aid the way to get mem bers is to interest the boys and bring tlu.ni into the society. After Father McNally spake Peter F. McCoy, of Hyde Park, first vice president of the Diocesan union, de livered an address, and Thomas A. Donahoe. president of St. Aloysius Young' Men's society of the South Side, was called upon for remarks. Senator J. C. Vaughan. the llrst pres ident of the society, gave an Indicat ing outline of its history. It was or ganized as the outcome of a dispute In tbe old Father Mathew society of Scranton. In the year 185 the ques tion of hiring a band to play In the parade on Oct. 10 came up, and be cause the Bellevue contingent was stronger than the South Side conting ent and the Bellevue cornet band was hired, as against the Lackawanna cor net band of the Twelfth ward, there was ill-feeling and St. John's society, of the South Si le. was formed out of the members from the South Side. The Bellevue members of the Fat her Muthew society decided that there was enough materinl in that section to or ganize a society, and acting on that impulse St. Peter's was forimd on Oct. 18. lsr. Miles Clark was the second president. William McDonough; the fourth president. Senator Vaughan was the third, and M. J. O'Toole. the fifth: John McLane. the sixth; und Mr. Collins, now occupying the chair, is the seventh. Some of these served more than one term.

Hogcrs Urai'l llevicu s Ihc Work That is Being Done by the Various rnrisli Societies, Which, Follow iu; the L.xninnlc of Christianity's I'ountlcr, Minister 1'nlo Iloth Soul nnd Unity Programme for Todnv. Testei day St. Luke's Day was ob served as the anniversary of St. Luke's parish. Special services were held, morning and evening, and today there will be further exercises, principal atnoni? which is a receution at the rec- j tory in the morning and a congrega tional meeting in the evening. There was holy communion at 7.20 nnd again at 10.30 yesterday morning, with special music under the direction of J. Willis Conant, at the latter ser vice. In he evening another pro gi a mine or special music was rendered and a sermon on the subject of the day was delivered by the pastor. Rev. Rogers Israel. At 9.15 a. m. there was a special session of the Sunday school at which there was a liberal offering for cenernl mlsslonnrv work. The at ! Ir.llH.inen nf A,i at Oin niWl'tfina tl-QU very large, and the communicants were also unusual In number. At the 10.;i0 o'clock service Rev. Mr. Israel gave an exposition of the work that Is being done by the parish so cieties, taking as a text, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this Is the law and the prophets," Mat thew, vii. 1. lie led up to his review of the two-fold ministrations of the church societies with a demonstration of the fact that the parisli is a com ponent part of the church, the church is Christ's body on earth, and as Christ ministered to both body and soul, the parish should partake of those deeds. His review of the efforts In the direc tion of St. Luke's parish, whose patron was known ns the "beloved physician." showed a nicely graduated, thoroughly systematized and very complete plan. CHILDREN CARED FOR. The children are cared for from the time they are :i years of age, ing trained In the kindergarten conducted by the Women's guild. There are fifty of them now in the classes. Girls at X years of age may enter upon a course of training in neatness, sewing, darn ing, cooking and housekeeping, which course lusts from six to eight years. Over 200 girls are at present being thus instructed. Alter this the Girls' Friendly society exercises a watchful care and Influence over them, nnd, when they are married, the WomeiWs guild again takes an Interest In them. For the boys there is the Brother hood of St. Andrew, which aims to bring men under the Influence of the gospel, and after that Is the Men's guild, the purpose of which is to keep alive personal spirituality among its members and do its share in the chari table 'work of the parish. Then there is the Guild of St. Hilda, the members of which, among other things, visit nnd sing at the hospit als, sew for the missionaries, prepare boxes for schools, clothe and care for little glris and 'furnish flowers for the aluir. Some of the practical work of the t litis' Friendly society is the vis iting of homes and hospitals, visiting strangers and the sick, ministering to the poor and providing a shelter for strangers und unfortunates. BROTHERHOOD'S WORK. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew con ducts a class for the devotional study of the Bible. The Men's guild provides a physician for the poor, maintains a burial fund, contributes to the general missionary work, assists In finding em ployment, gives a free excursion to the poor each year, and during the warm weather maintains a summer home in the country for poor and sickly women and children. The Women's guild. In addition to many acts of charity, such as visiting and aiding the sick and poor, provides the vestments for the rector, choir and altar, and conducts the kindergarten and Industrial school. The one great thing lacking, Mr. Israel said, was a. pnrlsh house In which these various activities could center and where a training school for boys could be established. Today the observance will begin at 4 o'clock, when Rev. and .Mrs. Israel will hold a reception in the rectory. In the evening there will be a congrega tional meeting in the church. There will be devotional exercises, organ numbers by .1. Willis Connnt, reports from the various guilds, and an ad dress by Everett Warren, esq. REV. MR. HOLTER'S FAREWELL. I'rcnched ilis Last Sermon Before Christ Congregation Last Night. Rev. Frederick Holter, pastor of Christ Evangelical Lutheran church, Cedar avenue, preached his farewell sermon last night, and on next Sunday evening he will be installed pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, Jersey City. He will leave the city at noon Thursday with his family to assume his new charge. St. Paul's congregation has a mem bership of 600, and the church property is worth 122,000. Rev. Mr. Holter has achieved a prominent place in the af fections of not only the congregation he is about to leave, but also of the people of the South Side. He became pastor of Christ church on March 22. ISM, coining here from Sheldon, North Dakota, where he labored eight yeuts. In the five years and Seven months Of his pastorate Christ congregation has grown from 60 to ;!00 members. Ho found it in a condition bordering on dissolution, but by energetic work har monized the conlllcting elements, and he has the satisfaction of knowing as he leaves that It Is In a flourishing state. ' He was an aggressive opponent of beer picnics and dances, and was In strumental in making social events of this nature bo very unpopular that it was not long until there was a much mutinied method of conducting them. ! lie published a monthly journal devot ed to church work, organized a pa- i rochial school that has an attendance of sixty-seven pupils, and of which Professor E. A. Butze Is teacher; the Ladk-s' Aid society has increased from tn 58 members, and the Young Peo ple's society from 14 to 60 members, and the Sunday school has grown from 24 to 116 members. He baptized two cnll dren yesterday, one before nnd the other after Sunday school. VERY ACTIVE PASTOR. He started a German-Polish Luther an i .igrcgatlon at Providence last fall, and It Mas a membership of 150, and owns two lots. It has adopted a con stitution and belongs to the synod. At Carbondale live weeks ago he started a mission among the Lutherans there, in his own congregation he baptized 222Wnfants, preached 6o0 times, of tlciftted at 78 funeral services, con firmed S9, solemnized 29 marriages and 150 new families were received by transfer or re-professlon of faith. Besides the current expenses and thp regular offerings, $4,000 was paid for special congregational expenses In the shape of church Improvements. It was only the sense that he is going to a larger church that made his people feel that he ought to be let go. His farewell sermon was preached In the evening to a large congregation, and was based upon the 'ext, "And now brethren I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an Inheritance among all them, which are saiictihed," Acts, XX, 32. He spoke iu part as follows: "The life of man is one of change. Everything around us changes. . To night I preach for the last time to -on as pastor of this congregation. To take my departure from you and the asso ciations formed among you Is for me an unpleasant experience. I have bap tized many of your children, confirmed many of your sons and daughters and buried many of your dead; and now, after this service, I can no longer speak of you us my congregation. But the separation, as is well known to you. is providential. Four weeks ago I had no knowledge of such an unexpected change. We separate under the most favorable circumstances and our feel ings of good will are mutual. HOLD FAST THE FAITH. "St. Paul commends the Epheslnns to God and to the word of His grace. I pray you to hold fast the faith you huve accepted, to remain loyal to your congregation, and may God keep you and preserve you as true Christians unto eternal life. I am glad that our congregation has the name Christ church, i also commend you to tne grace of God, which is able to build you up. "With Paul. I hold out before ycu the hope that there Is an Inheritance for them which are sanctilied. Thank God that there is a bond between us and our God through Christ. In heaven, separations are absent; and If we here upon the earth become separated and perhaps never to meet again, may we meet In heaven and there forever par take of (he heavenly Inheritance. "I thank you for the love and good will nnd assistance I have received at your hands. We part as pastor and parishioners In good feeling toward each other. May God bless all of you and all your work. God bless you abundantly. This evening services will be con ducted at the church, and Rev. Paul Baehnlsch, of Brooklyn, N. V., who has been a missionary to India, and Rev. H. Llsse, of Bridgeton, N. J., will preach. Tomorrow evening Rev. John Kownla. of Jeanette, Pa., will preach, and after the services a congregational meeting will be held, and one of the three aforementioned clergymen may be called as pastor of Christ church.

We cannot believe it. iBefore we pronounce Judg ment, let us ask ourselves whether we have done nil that we could and should huvs done. We believe that if the hearts of the 200 now enrolled as members of the (mission become thoroughly on lire la this great and noble work, at least 1.U1W now members can be secured during tho coin ing ycur. Let us not be satlslied this coming year with leiis than that. Let us work with that number In view, but let us above all pray for God's blessing upon the work of the mission, and to that end may !! so till every member of the mission with His REXFORD'5.
