Rev. S. 0. Zerf.iss, of Ephrata, gave
most intere!i»;ing   and     instructive
kddress on   'Local History   and    Its
Iniportance."
A very important feature of the ev- ining was the address delivered by lie president. Dr. P. A. Laury, of Jethlehem, who e.xplalned the her- Idlc meaninps of the variou-s symbol.^ ppearing nn th.^ new seal recently .dopted by the association, in an in- eresting manner.
The members were pleased lo learn Ihat the newly-adopted seal had be'ii tl;(' old seal of Xorthampton county, ".hich came into existence 'in.' han ilriMl aU'l S('ve!!iy-one years ..-xu. wluii this country wa.s still the dumain of King (Ieorge tho second, and which w:is lirst, ns. .| when this county v.as s'p.ira.ed from IJu<-lvs county. Tliis sal Ills not been in usi^ for many years. .Xo one knmvs how lonu aau i: nas discarded for the newer a,id more modern seal, but It was lo-olia- hly  over n  century ago.
Ilowiver. the original of the seal i.s known to have been in existence as late as IS SI. Then the old court house, which stood In Centre Square, ICaston on the site now occupied hy the soldiers' and sailors' monument, was torn down and along with many documents, of importance to local history, and of great interest to local |)eopIe, it was either lost or de¬ stroyed. There was no one, as far as the officers of the society knew, who had a copy ot this seal, so the aid of Thomas A. L. Hay. prothonotary ot .N'orthampton county, and F. S. Rix- ler, a prominent member of the so- <iety were enlisted. They searched through old records and stacks of books, old furniture, boxes and draw¬ ers, many of which had not seen the light of day for a century or century and a half. Finally, they found some old court documents-summons, re¬ ports and records ot various kinds, and on some ot these, there were still traces of the old seal. The old papers were turned over to an expert bank note engraver, and after placing them under a microscope, he was also able to piece them together so that he could reproduce the original seal. The old seal will appear on all the stationery .ind notli-es of the society 111 the future and is prized most high¬ ly by the members of the society.

The second of the series of tnen's meetings planned for the year was held on Wednesflay evening in the ^(.cial rooms of Ihe church. In spite ef the disagreeable weather a large umber of men assembled and enjoy- 1 a very   excellent    program.
The lirst address was delivered by Prof. F   ,\. M-irks. superin'endent of

su r ,if St. John's Lutheran church. ho -imjIo- on the subject of "Churcli .\ctivity. ' He drew a very fine and liighly apjireciated distinction be¬ tween what we commonly call organ¬ ized work and that which every Christian does wherever he may hap¬ pen to be. A Christian always ex¬ erts an influence and that influence or example which he furnishes is just as effective and beneficial and produc¬ tive of the highest good as any that is performed by any regular or.san- iied group of the congregation. These remarks were very favorably received and made a profound impression. The third speaker was Charles Nich¬ olas, who spoke on the subject of •"Rewards of Christian Service." re¬ marking that every man is building a structure and upon the kind of struc¬ ture he is erecting his reward. It was a strong appeal tor consecrated serv¬ ice and highly appreciated.
One of the strong features ot the
program was the excellent music fur¬ nished by a large orchesir.-i of six¬ teen pieces. The men all appreciat«id this part of the program anil compU- meiited the direc-tor, R. L. Hocii. re¬ peatedly tor the work Ue was doing in this direction and tor the in'ei -i Ue -.- in these nie' ;,.' formal progr,;;.: .ral
dibcu.s.-i(.n followed and it was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting tliat th--.' o( casions were not only lueelin:.' a long-felt need but thai they were, succtsstu! to a degree the like of which was not even anticipated by even the most hopeful aud sanguine. 'Iliey are growing in interest and at¬ tendance and due credit was given to the Church Council for having laken the initiative in this direction.
Ail formalities were happily ouiit- ttd. -N'o organization has been ef¬ fected for the simple reason thai ev¬ er one is satisfied with the very in¬ formal way of conducting the meet¬ ings that have hitherto obtained and this method is to be continued be¬ cause it brings results.
Ellwood lnangst had charge of Ihe meeting and in his usual happy vein kept every one wondering what waJl coming next.
A very pleasant social time was spent after the program during which interim a very delicious luncheon was served in cafeteria style. Ali left at a reasonable hour feeling that the evening had not only been pleasantly but profitably spent. The next meet¬ ing will be announced in due time
