ONE-MAN TROLLEY
ANDJORD CRASH
At Hahn's Garage, Near Bel¬
fast—John Eley Severely
Injured
There was a bad grade crossing
accident about 6 o'clock Wednesday
night near Hahn's garage at Belfast,
when the Slate Belt company's one-
man car running from Nazareth to
Belfast, ran Into a Ford sedan, be¬
longing to .James Lanning, of Wind
Gap, demolishing it and injuring
John Eley, of Wind Gap, who was
riding with Lanning.
Eley's left arm was so badly cut
with glass that it required two doz¬
en stitches to close his wounds. Lan¬
ning miraculously escaped unhurt.
Dr. J. C. Keller, of Wind Gap, was
called J.o- attend the injured man.
'^.JEeflowlng 'the accident a large
crowd assembled to view the wreck
of the automobile. The trolley car
was but little damaged.
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS IN
PARADE AT BETHLEHEM
Among the organizations, includ¬
ed were the Mothers of 1917, in
tastefully decorated automobiles,
Veterans of both the Civil and
World's wars, with their blue and
drab uniforms, creating a grand and
reverenced feeling; the Nazareth
Hall Military Academy Battalion,
with a full parading equipment, be¬
sides the two local bands that par¬
ticipated in the parade at Bethlehem
on Friday and helped to make It a
grand success. The parading organ¬
izations were frequently compliment¬
ed for their appearance and in help¬
ing to make the celebration one that
was in harmony with the purpose
and spirit of Armistice day.
The preparations for the celebra¬
tion of the anniversary of a thirty
years' unbroken pastorate of St.
John's Reformed church of Naza¬
reth, was favored by Sunday, No¬
vember 13, 1921, being fair and well
suited for the beginning of a series
of services which will be continued
every evening during the week ex¬
cepting Saturday aud which will be
concluded by celebrating the Holy
Communion next Sunday morning
and evening, after which a service
for the burning of the last note will
bo held.
Almost five hundred of those con¬
firmed were present at one of the
two services held. Most of these
were in the procession, whilst some
were sprinkled among the audience.
At the morning service over four
hundred, after having assembled in
classes in the chapel, marched In a
procession by way of the Prospect
street pavement into the main audi¬
torium of the church, singing the
hymn "Just As I Am Without One
Plea." As those first in line were
ready to be seated in the church
many were still waiting in the chapel
to start.
Dr. Wotring preached a historical
sermon, referring to periods when
the congregation raised its Ebenezer.
He said "Though this congregation
prayed and worked under God's
guidance and blessings for years, its
people had no right to expect such
signal recognition as they received
from God In the year 1921. During
this anniversary year this congrega¬
tion took the position as numerically
the strongest congregation in East
Pennsylvania Classis. It was called
upon to pay the largest classical ap¬
portionment which we regard more
of an honor than a burden for the
members will cheerfully raise it. Dur¬
ing this year the largest Ladles' Aux¬
iliary of Phoebe Deaconess and Old
Folks Home in the Reformed church
was organized by the ladles, as was
also confirmed the largest catecheti¬
cal clawof any Reformed church In
the United States, by the pastor on
Palm Sunday last. But this Is not
all for before these services of the
coming week will be closed the last
note against the church will be burn¬
ed and the debt will be a matter of
history."
After the services a picture of the
various classes were taken in a
group in front of the church, which
It by far the largest ever taken of
the various catechetical reunions
held.
At the evening service the cate¬
chetical procession marched singing
'Fade, fade each earthly joy." The
sermon was preached by the Rev. H.
J. Ehret, Stated Clerk of East Penn¬
sylvania class, who was confirmed by
Dr, Wotring with the class of 1891.
He spoke on the text which was
spoken by Pontious Pilate when puz¬
zled, "What Shall I Do with Jesus."
After paying a tribute to his pastor.
l.e brought home the lessons of the
text with such significant force that i
every soul had to be benefited.
Revs. A. E. Erdman and George
Kleckner assisted in the services and
spoke appropriate words of felicita¬
tion. Charles W. K. Shaffer in his
usual clean cut and pleasant style
conveyed the appreciation of the con¬
gregation by presenting a purse to
tlie pastor and Mrs. Wotring.
The decorations were artistically
arranged in gilt lettering and chrys¬
anthemums. The choir was at its
best and in leading the music seemed
to ride on the crest of the joys of the
festivities.
On Monday evening Rev. A. V.
Casselman, Director of Missionary
Education, treated the large audi-
eice present to viewing the Inter-
Church World moving pictures, fin¬
ished by the most skillful Inter-
Church world picture artist. Rev.
Casselman travelled with the Inter-
Church world picture men, and
many of the pictures were taken by
himself. It was therefore but nat¬
ural for him to give an Interpreta¬
tion of them In a manner that one
has the privilege to hear. The pas¬
tors noticed In the audience were
Rev. A. E. Erdman and William H.
Vogler of Nazareth, Rev. Evemire of
Easton and Rev. F. R. Shafer ot Tat¬
amy.
On Tuesday evening Rev. J. W.
Menninger, D. D., secretary of the
Poard of Ministerial Relief, spoke,
being assisted by the Rev. D. M. Dry
and Rev. Bergman, who brought the
greetings of the Lutheran and United
Evangelical congregations of Naza¬
reth, respectively, and spoke words
if felicitation. Rev. W. H. Oerter,
of the Moravian church of Nazareth
was also among the worshippers.
Dr. Menninger spoke in his usual
versatile and effective style. Dr.
Wotring has been associated with
him as a member of the Board of
Ministerial Relief for more than a
score of years.
Last Sunday, Dr. Charles Shaffer
of Philadelphia addressed the audi¬
ence. It may easily be said that he
is the peer among Reformed clergy
v hen the subject of Home Missions
is to lie discussed. Rev. F. R. Shaf¬
fer assisted and brought the greet¬
ings of the Forks-Tatamy parish.
This evening (Thursday) tlie
sermon will be preached by Rev. W.
F. Moore, superintendent of Bethany
Orphans' Home, and on Friday even¬
ing Dr. A. R. Bartholomew, secre¬
tary of Foreign Missions, will have
as his theme "A World Outlook."
The services will conclude with
the celebration of the Holy Commun¬
ion next Sunday at 10.30 a. m. and
7 p. m., respectively. Dr. Rufus Mil¬
ler will assist the pastor and speak
at the celebration of the Sunday
school in the afternoon. There will
be no early morning communion. In-
s'ead of this a service will be held
at 8 o'clock p. m.
The communion services will be
closed by the benediction, after
which a short service will be conduct¬
ed, when the last note will be burn¬
ed. Members who communed dur¬
ing the day and their friends can be
seated on the galleries during the
evening services. Any one not wish¬
ing to come to the 7 o'clock service
can be seated quietly in the chapel
so that when the 8 o'clock Thanks¬
giving services begin they can soon
be seated in the church or If neces¬
sary the curtains between church
and chapel will be thrown open. All
those who rejoice with the Reformed
people In the culmination of their
endeavors in building a church that
is a credit to the community are in¬
vited. In other words the commun¬
ity is invited to attend and their
presence will be highly appreciated.

COUNTY IN NEED OF RAIN
Farmers throughout the county
are complaining of the great scarcity
of water. Many of the welle, springs
and cisterns ere dry. We have had
very little rain for months and
should a freeze-up come without a
good soaking rain, conditions would
be bad.
