10 THE CHRISTIAN NATION. Vol. 59.
YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.
The Youngtown Congregation felt
much strengthened by the installation
on May 30, of the Rev. J. M. Johnston
as pastor. -\A'e held communion
on the Sth Sabbath of June. The
preparatory services extended
through the week preceding and concluded
with an old time witness bearing
sermon on Monday evening. In
all these services our pastor was
assisted, and the congregation greatly
enthused by the excellent ministrations
of the IRev. S. J. Johnston, New
Castle's pastor. W^ are much encouraged
by the addition of seven to our
membership.
We have been endeavoring to improve
our service of song by using
the new Psalter.
VERNON, WIS.
Since our contest has been started
our Sabbath School has increased in
number.
The lawn social held here at C.
Vanderpool's was a very pleasant
affair.
Haying and harvest are nearly over,
and picnics are now in order, and
good times anticipated.
Relatives and friends here are glad
to learn that Rev. M. A. Gault has
returned home and is somewhat improved
in bealth. Our prayer is
that God may spare this good man
long to his community.
Rev. T. Melville, pastor of the U.
P. Church at Traer, Iowa, and wife
worshipped with us on a recent Sabbath.
We were all glad to see Mrs.
Melville, who spent her childhood
days in and around the Vernon
Church.
iCOLLEGE FRATERNITIES.
The report on Secretism to Synod
this year was devoted to College
secret societies. I wish to give a
snort account of one experience I had
with one when in college. It was in
the Indiana University. One winter
I was rooming with a student in the
College building. He belonged to a
College fraternity. They held a meeting
one evening in the College. Before
their meeting they gathered in
our room. They tried hard to get
me to join, but I refused. When the
hour for their meeting arrived, of
course tliey went to another room.
After the meeting they all came again
to our room. They sent two of their
number up town to get a bucket of
beer, which they drank before leaving.
They tried to get me to drink, one of
them even proposing that they would
pour some beer down my tliroat. Sut-
fice it to say I did not drink any. No
doubt many a man has learned to
drink in these societies.

STAFFORD, KANSAS.
Miss Mary Fee has returned home
from Emporia, where she has been
attending the summer term of Normal.
Mr. George Fee, who has been
in attendance at Geneva College, is
spending his vacation at his home
in Stafford.
Dr. John M. Peoples, of Mersina,
was with us not long since and gave
us a very interesting description of
his work in the foreign field.
We have also enjoyed a visit from
another Syrian missionary. Rev.
Samuel Edgar. He and Mrs. Edgar
were with us over Sabbath. Brother
Edgar gave us two missionary
sermons which renewed and strengthened
our interest in the work in
his ps.Tticular fleld. These visits,
thorgh short, tend to stir our hearts
to more prayer, and to more definite
and immediate action in regard to
the salvation of souls.
Work has begun on our new church
and we hope to have it done by
Fall. At ipresent we are worshitpping
in the Congregational Church.

MINUTES OF 1913 SYNOD.
The minutes of 1913 Synod will be
ready for mailing September 1st, 1913.
They are being printed under the
careful supervision of Dr. C. D. Trumbull,
at Morning Sun, Iowa. For several
years the sale of the Minutes of
Synod averaged nine hundred copies,
or one copy to every ten members of
the Covenanter iChurch. In order that
the members might become more
closely identified with the work of the
church, the late Synod reduced the
price from thirty-five to ten cents per
copy. After adding the price of printing
and postage, we findthis is below
cost. No member can say they cannot
afford to pay ten cents per copy for th3
Minutes of Synod. We can name you

We had the pleasure of hearing
Rev. W. M. Robb preach forenoon
and evening of the last Sabbath of
July, in Hetherton. 'He came with
a very precious message which he
delivered in great earnestness. He
showed plainly that he believes the
Holy Spirit was present at the late
meeting of Synod.
A party of six persons were thrown

YORK, N. Y.
The annual congregational picnic
was held on Thursday, July 31st, at
the "State Hatchery," better known
as the "Fish Ponds," one mile north
of Caledonia. Eighty-five enjoyed the
festivities of the day together. For
the past nine years our picnics have
been at different homes of the congregation;
and good picnics they have
been. This year, however, it was
thought advisable to try a change,
and although the day was warm and
dusty and the drive one of from seven
to eleven miles for the different
families, yet the congregation and
Sabbath school were quite fully represented
and a most enjoyable day
