VOL VI. NO. 48 THE CIRCULATIO OF THE W Reception to Pastor A Very Enjoyable Event—All Local Pas- tors Took Part One of the most delightful recep- tions ever held in this place; was that given by the Trustees, Ladies’ Aid and members and friends of the Methodist church, Thursday evening. The exercises were held in the lecture room of the church. T. B. Himes, Sunday school Supt., was master of ceremonies and did his part to perfection. Miss Gert- rude Metzgar was organist. Miss Anna K. Miller, Miss Maud Ernst, and Miss Mary Stoll rendered eff- ective and beautiful vocal solos. Master Clarence Brubaker, little Miss Catherine Hoover and Miss Mary Long entertained the audi- ence by select recitations. The ex- ercises were opened by the congre- gation singing “Blest be the Tie that Binds” followed by an appro- priate prayer by Rev. Father John Boehm. A unique feature of the recep- tion was the presence of the five ministers of the town with their wives. Rev. A. A. Del.ong, Evan- gelical; Rev. K. J. Stewart, Pres- byterian: Rev. Charles Reitzel, Bethel: Rev. Richard C. Rengier, Lutheran; Rev. E. C. Burtner, United Brethren. Each gave a brief but appropriate address of welcome to pastor Rev. J. Emmett Deacon of the Methodist church. Rev. Deacon, in response, spoke feelingly of the fraternal spirit and good-fellowship manifested in these addresses, and gave assurance that he was most heartily in favor of a continuance of the same cordial re- lations and would lend his influ- ence to that end. As the congregation came for- ward to shake hands with him, he presented each one with a souve- nir card telling what they owed to others on such a social occasion, ‘A Handshake,” ‘A Friendly Chat,’ ‘An Introduction to Someone Else; together with subjects suggested for conversation. Then followed a social of rare enjoyment, while Mrs. Newpher, president of the Ladies’ Aid, with her corps of excellent helpers, served refreshments. All departed assuring their hosts they had never had a more enjoyable time. Mrs. Deacon was the recipient of a beautiful and fragrant bouquet of flowers. The lecture room was tastily decorated with flowers and potted plants, —— i e————— A Musical Treat Lovers of fine music will have an opportunity to gratify their tastes in hearing The Lancaster Choral Society in the Fulton Opera House on Monday evening April 29th, un- der the leaderseip of Mr. H.
