OR. RENDALL'S STRONG ADDRESS The 125 th anniversary of the Mahon ing Presbyterian church opened with a sermon by the Rev. Isaac N. Rend all, D. D., President Emeritus of Lin coln university, at 11 o'clock yester day morning. J A veiy large congregation was pres- I ent. The Rev. Dr. Rendall is one of j the most able men in the Presbyterian : ministry. Although in his eighty- I sixth year he spoke with all the vigor and enthusiasm of a man sixty years of age, while the thought advanced bore evidence of a keen mind that has I kept pace with the progress of | events. The text was taken from Rev- I elations 2:7 "He that hath ears, leta ! him hear, etc." The sermon had as j its theme, "Interpreting one Hundred and Twenty-live Years of Church Life , in Central Pennsylvania." [ The special service in the interest of Sunday school work, which took place ia the lecture room yesterday after noon was well attended. The speaker on the occasion was the Rev. Alexand er Henry, D. D., of Philadelphia, sec retary of Sunday school work under the care of the Presbyterian General assembly. His address which was very practic al, was embraced under three heads: First. An enlarged conception of the Sunday school in its relation to the community. Second. A wider vision of the Sun day school as a real school. Third. An enlarged idea of the use we can make of the Sunday school in encouraging church work. At present the Sunday schools are mainly composed of boys and girls and youths. We should endeavor, the speak er said, to bring in adults. The org- | animation of adult classes should be promoted. At the last annual State convention held at Harrisburg seven thousand men marched in the Sunday school parade. Many persons attend Suuday school but do not carry away facts and knowl edge as would be done from public schools and colleges. We should have trained teachers and every Sunday school should have a teachers' train ing class. The schools should be grad- ! ed and the new graded lesson should I be used. The Sunday school is the best field for evangelistic effort. Seventy per cent, of our church members come up through the Sunday school, which shouidjbe a training school for future church members, instructing them in history, doctrine and work of the church. The Sunday schools should be used by the church to reach the homes of the community. The outlook is hope ful and better work is being done in the Sunday school today than at any time in the past.

TREES NOT IN THE WAY As the work of setting the curb in connection with paving progresses 011 East Market street it is found that comparatively few of the thriving shade trees that prove such an orna ment need to be sacrificed. The large tree in front of the resi dence of Mrs. George M. Gearhart was in the way and had to bo cut down. It was being removed yesterday along with the stump. In order that 110 ac cident might result either to property or pedestrians the tree was removed piecemeal. One by one the limbs were sawed off and lowered to the ground until nothing but the big trunk re mained. The latter was then sawed up into sections and removed. 1 Two trees in front of the residence of F. O. Angle, Esq., and one at the residence of Dr. Oglesby were remov ed last week to make way for paving. Engagement Announced. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Trnmbower have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Florence Eliza beth to Mr. Andrew Hamilton Can non, of Philadelphia.

J. H. " On the inside case neatly executed by Carl Ruckle are the words. "Edward J. Haughton, October 1, 1910. Presented by tiis friends."

Dear Sir:—The undersigned friends who admire you for your sterling char- i acter, broad Democratic spirit, good natured and sympathetic disposition, I find it difficult to express in words ' their sorrow at your removal from j their midst, where in the past seven years they have learned to know and i respect you. We shall miss your cheerful smile so ' often in evidence and the cordial greeting it is your custom to extend j to all irrespective of class or station. ; Wo feel that in your departure our city is losing one of its best men and ; one who has at all times had the wel- 1 fare of the community at heart and labored for its betterment and advance- ! merit.and the many homes which have i been favored with your visitations and cheered and helped thereby realize that they are losing a good friend, a wise counsellor and often a practical helper. We know, however, that what is to be our loss is to be your gain through your entrance into a larger sphere of usefulness and wish you Godspeed in your journey to your new home, the richest blessings on your labors in your new field and long life, lie.lth and prosperity, to you and yours. !
