EPWORTH LEAGUE. The Epworth League Celelrfated Their 15th Anniversary Sunday. A Great Treat for the Members the Little One* Had a Feast In the Celebration. Sunday the Epworth League ot the Methodist church celebrated the sixth anniversary of Its organization in this city and the International organization. The church, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, both at the morning and evening services, was artistically decorated with the league colors, white and red bunting, potted plants and cut (lowers while the charters of | both the junior and senior leagues were hung in prominent places so that the audience could learn the meaning and aim of the league The morning services was under the , direction of the junior k agde Great , credit given the junior’s on account - of the excellent manner in which they I rendered their programme. The regular church choir assisted the juniors | with the music. The song and march entitled, “The Epworth League March’' and in which a large number of the members participated, was rendered in a very excellent manner, as was also the catechism, in which all the members took part and which was led by Bertha Heller, after which eight little girls and one boy, whose names were Francis Bryson, Lucile Hale, Naomi Gregg, Allie Biosser, Francis Merryman, Pansy Beu, Marie jfJeery, Maude Russell and MasGeorge Case, sang the song entitled, “Little Ones Come,” and also recited bible verses. Carrie Blosser and James Lenhart then favored the audience with a duet, after which Miss Ida Brandy berry in a clear voice delivered the installation address to the new officers: President, Miss Dolhe Close; Ist vice-president, Bessie Baker; 2nd, Bertha Heller; 3rd, Della Clark; 4th, Elba Rex; secretary. James Lenhart; treasurer, Carrie Blosser; organist, Harry Grubb; choirister, Lucile Bryson, after all of which Rev. Gregg, delivered a short sermon. The evening service which was under the direction of the senior league was also well gotten up. Excellent music was furnished by the choir, after which Miss Cora Shackley read a paper on the •’Work of the Mercy and ' Help Department.” This was followed by the report of the treasurer, Miss Mary Baughman, which i shows the league has worked very industriously during the past year by paying oit a good many expenses, white it still has enough to begin the work of another. Hattie Blackburn, treasurer of the junior league, then read their report which should have been read at tbe morning service. After music by the choir, Rev. Gregg the president for the past year then delivered his farewell address, in which ha spoke of the object and work of the league by giving a brief description of each department which shown by tbe use of a large Wheel, that bad been prepared tor the occasion. This was followed by the installation services which were delivered by Rev. Gregg, tbe following officers being installed: President, J. F. Bryson; Ist vice-president, Mary Baughman; 2nil, Sadie Hale: 3rd, Nellie Ellsworth: 4th. Ida Brandy berry; secretary. Bessie Cdngleton; treasurer. Nellie Blackburn; organist.

Bryson, then delivered the inaugural address, after which the choir rendered a choice selection .of music, which Was followed by the benediction. The toilo ving address was delivered jgi the Epworth League by Miss Ida BrandYberry Sunday evening at the M. E. church: It has been said ‘‘that the League oi today is the churcir of the future,” and so we believe, that as the yyouhg so will they act. So, dear frietids, can we begin training the mind of the child, when it is too i ■ it not an nn portant thing.jhat th ; children have this early training in .the,. Spiritual Life, to do spiritual work, and all those things, tint go to make the world better, and cause ail to have a rribre lasting ho d onto Christ the Savior and Redeemer Os man? Yes, we d? believe that in order to raise humanity to a nearness to Christ, we must first start by training the children in the ria kt Way. Then think of the good that has come through the kindly assistance of the children. Think of the many that have been taught to love Jesus, through the tender words that fell fro n the lips of a little one. Like as ariows in the hands of a "giant, even so are the young children. Oh, let it be our constant aim to train them from earliest childhood in tbe highest christWn ideals, Io lead them to selfconst cration for noble and unselfish lives, so with this great purpose in view, we • . 1

have an organization called the Junior League, and we have met today to install the officers of this organization. We tuvein the junior League different depai tments ot w< rk, each departn ent has it* officer fnr by >o doing more efficient work may be accompli bed. The fest, or chief officer is the president, Dodie Clo*e has been chosen to act as pres ! dent of trie [unior League for the ensuing y-ar. To be president of the Junior League is indeed a high honor, and in taking thia office new responsibilities have been placed upon you, now may you do y ur work the best yen can. We do pray that you wif be ihetmeans of accomplishing great good in the Junior Leazuer May you be prompt and attentive at your work. Chorister, Lucile Bryson and organist, Harry Grubbs. You will find it wise to consult each other in your work. Try to be present at all the meetings and ready to do your duty, as much will depend upon you. So do the very best you can. Now. ; I would say in closing: consider well these new responsibilities you l ave upon yourselves. Do not forget to whom to look for help. Keep your eyes toward Heaven. I look'Tip. hot down, reaeh out and lend a I helping haiid. Do not forget the great aim, | of your .Junior Javagae.fur in doing good iyeuw4llbe-work.iiig.Jui-,...the Master. Do I not think yourselves t<jp young, and bei come discouraged and feel like giving up. i But remember Samuel, lie was only a child, i a mere child, when the Lord called him. Think of the good that he accomplished i and so may you. Then again remember Christ’s saying, when he was only 12 years old at the time when he wandered in the temple ami ins friends called him. lie said: ”1 must be about my Master's business,’’or in other words, he had no time elsewhere than working in the. Master’s vineyard. We all have a work to do. both great and smgll. old and young. We alone can do that, no one else can do it for us. and we cannot begin too early in life to do that work. Be prompt and faithful in fulfilling your duties and with God’s care and guidance you will come out more than conqueror iu the end, and as your reward, you will wear a bright crown in the home beyond. u While in Stockton.

.... HOUSEWIVES’ UTOPIA. Orange (N. ,J.) Women Trying to Solve the Servant Problem. ! The fin <!••. siecle woman in Orange, ' N. J., has reinstbred a solemn vow that I in that truly good place none but fin de ' siecle servants .'hall in the future be reci ognized. and that none other will be ali lowed to have a footing there. Hence i the Orange Improvemeiit society has determined to take a h:m<.n’n rhe good work of manufacturing fn de siecle servants and of turning them out with the brand of orthodoxy duly affixed to each one.’ The scheme is comprehensive. One of ■ the largest, houses in the Oranges h; s been secured, ..nd this is to be used as the maanfa- ’ cry. A class of at least 20 girls will pt once be drilled in all the ■ branches of domestic service. Cooking, waitin.a, hoTtsewo’-k and the care of children are e: eh to receive proper attention;, and after a six mouth.:’ course the gradunte is to receive a diploma that she is talk .competent. But this is the least <sf the. scheme. There is to i o a b'creatrof employment. It is promi. od that all set--ants sent out shall have a clean bill ci' health, as ’t were, ana be fully competent. Then there is to be a class for the instruction of the ladies tiiemselves-in housewifery, with cooking classes and lectures on the care ami umnagement cf households axirL domestic economy generally. The day nursery that is now run by the associa-. tion will furnish the necked “subjects"’ on which the jeeoper of practice can be had in the care children. Still another class wifi- be formed for the benefit of domestics already in service to give them additiomil instruction, and lastly there is to be a department -for the furnishing of cooks, waitresses and laundresses for special emergencies that oeenr in every h<msehc4d. This is the scheme, and whether the Utopia will be realized or whether it will prove to be a castle in Spain remains -for the good people of Orange to determine. The estimated cost for thb first year is $5,000. —New York Herald. Education In the United States Senate. One does nut have to be educated to sit in the United States senate.
