RENSSELAER ATTORNEY AT UNIQUE RELIGIOUS SERVICES.

QUE RELIGIOUS SERVICES. Attorney Frank Foltz was in Lafayette Sunday and missing the first train home—Lafayette is a “wet” town—to fill in the time went out to the Soldiers Home and spent a few hours. He attended the religious services there and enjoyed them very much, they being in the nature of a Methodist class-meeting of the oldfashioned shouting kind. Mr. Foltz says he had often heard of services of this kind but it had never been his fortune to hear them before. All the worshipers were old, grey-headed men and women who had been serving in the Army of the Lord for a half century and more, and as they got up and related their "experience” and the “amen’s” that followed, it was very interesting to one who had never seen or heard anything of the kind before.

Not but Frank is religiously inclined and is a regular attendant at church—strange as this may appear for one of his profession—but he had never happened to run into a real old-fashioned Methodist class meeting before.
