S was previously stated it was
necessary to elect trustees
b e f o r e the Young Men's
— 1 Christian Association Could
obtain a charter under the laws of the
State. . Owing to an error in our first
constitution that had to be amended be-fore
the trustees could be elected for it
was necessary to elect 6 instead of 3
as calldd for in our original constitution.
The amendment was made some time
ago and on Monday the following trus-tees
were elected by ballot by the as-sociation
; P.: N. Kasson, J. B. Kreider,
Rev. 0. G. Romig, Harry S, Moyer, E.
L. Bomgardner and A. W. Snavely.
These men will -be called together by
the president of the association who is
an ex officio member of the trustee
board and the board will then be or-ganized
and divided into three classes,
two men serving for one, two and three
years respectively. . The application
for a charter has been signed by a suf-ficient
number of subscribers and now
that the trustees' names' can be added
to the application, all is in readiness to
present it. This will be done without
further delay and in a short time a
charter will- be received and the asso-ciation
will be an incorporated body un-der
the laws of Pennsylvania..

Lee. Ladies ' Quartet. Renders Beautiful
Selections. Glee Club Next Sunda y
The address of the evening was made
by Dr. J. Beveridge Lee, pastor of St.
Paul Presbyterian Church in Philadel-phia.
Dr. Lee spoke, from the incident
of Moses and the Burning Bush as re-corded
in the 3rd chapter of Exodus. It
was a masterful presentation of truth
and tho scholarly was most clear and
simple. The bush was not burned be^
cause God was in it. So, good in the
world and in the lives, of men persists
even in the destroying presence of pre-valent
evil,' :f or God is in the world !ahd
in the lives of men. Lessons of respon-sibility
were also presented drawn from
the responsibility that God laid upon
Moses. New lines of thot were opened
up by the speaker and his coming can
not help but be productive of good in
the community and especially in the
churches.

Principles of Life" is still referred' to
by those who heard it.- Special music
will be furnished by the Glee- Club of
the Young Men's Christian Association.
lrW-j|ISS KATHRYN POTTER opens
IkJ 1 ^e snow w**k we^ ren(^erei? f lf * songs which are new and up-to-date.
Bob and .Bertha ,Hyde
have a really funny act, a creation of
their own. . Billy Davis appears next.
He was nicknamed "The 20th century
comedian" at Keith's. The monologue
he uses is his own, word for word. He
also knows how to sing. He is a mono-logue
artist. .'
Jeanette McDonald is one of the most
clever child artists ever seen here. She
works with a dash which is astonishing
in - one so young. She makes-three
changes of costume in her act. Her
buck dance doses the act which receives
merited applause from the audience.
The Bragdons close the show. Musi-cal
selections on clarinet, trombone and
cornet are interspersed in this lively
act. There is not a dull moment arid
everything has a snap to it. The audi-ence
is in an uproar from start to finish.
These men are booked, for the Orphetim
in San Francisco this winter. The bur-lesque
boxing match is a fitting close to
the act. The audience should keep their
seats until the last moment and they
will be rewarded and take home a good
laugh with them-
