Osrct al Ural The “Parish Laaflel,” the monthly paper isaued by the Church of the Advent, speaks with regard to the Church's welfare,«a follows: During the put month the church has received a much needed improvement. A new heater hu bitn placed in the cellar and given through the generosity of Miss Knight. The im]»rovemem cannot fail to be noticed, and desert o our grateful recognition and thankfulness to the donor. The put four months have brought much to the church. Three hundred and twenty dollars have been received checks, besides what it has cost the donor to make the improvement already referred to. Surely uch generosity as has been shown, should be an incentive for all to do their best for the prosperity and :lfare of the chorch. "On Wednesday, December 4,the Rector organized the "Ladies Aid Society of the Church of the Ad■ent" with the following officers: President, Miss Mary Blanchard; Secretary, Mrs. Poinsett: Treasurer, Mrs. McCloskey. The object to do work for the church by airing articles, and once a month te of the members selling the things made. The proceeds thus obtained divided as follows: One half of the amount each month to be placed in the offerings for current expenses; one-quarter to be kept by the society for purchasing material for work; one-eighth to be placed in bank as a reserve fund; and the remaining oneghth to be placed in bank for a missionary fund, and twice a year offering Jo be made from that towa-ds Missions, foreign or do-

mestic.

'Already splendid results are shown;the last month from the sale of articles twenty-two dollars was realized, and ten dollars of that amount was placed in the offering Sunday, December 8th, for current expenses. The society meets every Wednesday, at the homes of the members, except on the fi:st Wednesday of the month, when the meeting will in the church, and reports will be made and a paper read or a talk given on missions or chnrch work in general. There are ten members at present. 'The Womans’ Auxiliary has greatly improved the appearance of the vestibule of the chnrch by having the floor stained and putting down new matting."

Pennsylvania Railroad Bulletin. w ■ . THE SPIBIT OF CHUSTMAS ON TdE RAILS. At no other period of the year does home-hunger grip the human heart with such an eager yearning as at Christmas time. The lasting memories of the old homestead, the tender welcome of the older and the merry greetings of the younger dear ones, the happy reunion about the festal board, the pungent odor of the cedar, the witchery of the holly, the lurking aentiment of the mi*tletoe. all combine to make a lure well nigh irreaistible. It is the season of reunions and foregatheringM, of meeting and parting. The zest of travel is rife, for apart from the home-goings and social exchanges it is a holiday time for many and there are pleasant excursions to be made, where sightseeing has an added relish from the prevalent gaiety and good cheer. The ^Pennsylvania Railroad is always popular at holiday times. Its system is so far-reaching, and at the same time so closely interwoven with the needs of the traveler; its trains are so numerous and so well equipped for the accommodation of every class of travel, and its ticketing arrangements so satisfying that it might be termed the Santa Clans route. Its Limited trains carrying the highest grade of travelers, completely appointed in every detail, offer exceptional advantages to the children going home from school for the Christmas vacation. The boys‘naturally gravitate to such trains; the girls will find every comfort and safeguard, as well as a maid at, their comiliund. No matter whither bound it is wise to consult a Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent as to trains and rates. He can start you right; the rest will be easy.
