To Fill Three Barrels.
Last Sunday was Children's
day at the Lutheran church in
town. There was a large crowd
which completely filled the room.
Among the features of the even

Orphans' School at Loysville be
asked to send three barrels of
empty jars to be filled with pre
served berries and fruits by the
Sunday school during the sum
mer. Three barrels is a large
consignment, and it means that
our youngsters will have to get a
hustle. In addition, $15.50 were
given in the collection for the
Loysville school.
