Greene, who recently spent some months with his sister, Miss A. Elizabeth Greene, at Kinder- hook, reached the Canal zone April 5th. He writes in glowing terms of life on the Isthmus of Panama. He is stationed at Camp Gaillard, on the very edge of the canal and within a mile of the famous Culebra cut. He says the cut is a wonderful excava- tion, and has to be seen to be appre- ciated. He mentioned the great Ga- tun Dam and locks, and the Gatun lake which is formed by the waters of the Chagres river. He has traveled from the Atlantic to the Pacific end of the canal zone, and has covered the big “ditch” throughout, and has found it worth while. Thus he has gratified a desire which he has had for several years, of seeing the great canal. GENERAL NEWS FOR QUICK READING INTERESTING HAPPENINGS FROM ALL OVER THE COUN.

S. S. ASSOCIATION WILL HOLD CONFERENCE were 2 o'clock your county out of luck goes. The Lancaster County Sunday School Association has completed ar rangements to hold a Summer Bible Conference for a period of ten days, commencing Friday, July 23, and closing on Sunday evening, August 1st. They have secured the facilities of the Millersville Normal School thus assuring all who attend a delightful place in which to spend a vacation for pleasure and profit. The registration fee has been placed at two dollars and the other ex- pense including board at ten dollars, thus making in all a very low cost of twelve dollars for the entire course, which is open to all members of any Sunday School in Lancaster county.
