Manchester, the pastor, and others will be the leading features of the evening's entertainment. Each scholar will be presented with candy and fruit. These are delightful occasions and always fill the building to overflowing, and we believe the seating capacity of the building will be inadequate upon the present

occasion.

Ladies' Aid Sociable.

The first sociable of the season given by the Ladies' Aid Society was held in the M. E. Parsonage, Central avenue, near Eighth street, Thursday evening last and was a success from every point of view.

The exercises were opened with singing, Mrs. E. A. Bourgeois presiding at the organ, followed by prayer by Rev. L. O. Manchester. Mrs. E. A. Stites recited "Barbara Fritchie." A quintet from the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band rendered some excellent music during the evening. Hunter Thomas sang a solo. Mrs. H. G. Steelman and Mrs. E. Bourgeois sang a duet.

sons present.

A Patriotic Sermon. The Rev. L. O. Manchester, of the First M. E. Church, delivered his second sermon to the members of Iota Council, No. 126, Jr. O. U. A. M., on Sunday evening last, when that order attended the services in a body. Rev. Manchester selected for his text, Psalm cvil:43--"Whoso is wise and will observe these things." The reverend gentleman, during his discourse, said that the great problem now confronting this nation was the question of capital and labor; that we as a people, in our haste to accumulate riches, were committing grievous sins, which would being sure punishment; that a ruinous competition in business was responsible for the low rate of wages now prevailing in all branches of business; that the laws governing business that sufficed for the earlier days of our Republic had outlived their usefulness; that even our statesmen were awakening to the needs of the hour, and that unless something was done, and that hastily, the low mutterings of clamoring unemployed labor might break out in acts of lawlessness.

Mr. Manchester's sermon gave evi-

dence of careful study of this great subject of capital and labor, and of his deep sympathy with the toiling masses. The building was crowded to its utmost capacity and close attention was given to the sermon.
