.Jubilee services were fittingly enlcr- ed into last Sunday by the members and frienils of the Ambler Methodist Episcopal churili, when the occasion was one of gciaiine rf,ioicing and coii- uratulation over the acc()iii|ilisliments and prospects uf the churcli anil .Sun¬ day si-honl, wiiich has as its pastor, Rov. Milton H. Nichols.
On Saturday evening a large new- pipe organ was (ipeneii by au appro¬ priate recital given by well-known artists. The iiisrrniiieut is a beautiful .and iiowerful one of rich tone and c|uality and occu)iics the sjiace direct¬ ly behind the pulpit. Tlie organ is supplied by a water motor. In front of the organ, space has- beeu secured for the ilinrcli chorus by extending the pl'atform, anil the singers are sep¬ arated from the chancel by rich drap¬ eries of curtain and a brass railing. The church wjis i-iowded tothoiloors on the occasion of flie recital, and all those who could cniwil in w-ero well rewarded by a iiiagniticent program splendidly rendered by talent which constitute some of the best that the peo¬ ple of .Ambler and viciuity have even ! had the good fortune to hear. Mr. J. | (Jraig King, organist of AllLson Me¬ morial M. E. church, Carlisle, Pa.,: rendered the following beautiful and ' inspiring selections in such a inaliner j that every one present was convinced of hi.s ability as an organist aud of j his thorough aciiuaintance with that in.struineut: -'Fugue in E flat,"Bach ; ; "-A Russian Roniauce, "Hofnian; "Carpiccio," Ijeniaigre; -'001111110111011 in E minor. ' Batiste; ''Minuetto," Shelley: "Largo, from the New World,"Dvorak ;Mendelssohn's famous "Spring Song; ' and Wagner's grand "Pilgrim's Chorus." Mr. Wm. Henry Harper, as a basso soloist, from St. Paul's Reformed Eipscopal churcli, Tioga, Pliiladelphia, was excellent iu his rendition of^Gonnod's "The Kiiij; of Love My Shepherd Is," aud Ham¬ iltou Grav's "-A Dream ot Paradise. " Mr. Harper's voice in volume is ex¬ ceptionally strong and well balanced and his range is wonderful. The violin¬ ist, Mr. .Atw-ooil Eastlack,of Merchant- ville, N. J., is indeed an artist of rare talent, giving several felections which won tor him deserving applanse and the deen apprecialiou of all lovers of the sweet toueii iu.strnmeut which he handles .so well. Miss Jiose V. .McKee- ban, soprano soloist of the First Pres¬ byterian cliurch, Carlisle, Pa., po.ssess- ing a sweet and charining voice, but also line of great volume, fully con- itrolle.l. gave two selections iu an in- iniiralile niauuer,"To Uie -Angels," by, Zar'". ail!

On Sunday morning a large audience gathered to participate in the special¬ ly prepared aurl excellent service. .T. Craig Kiug, of Carlisle, was the or¬ ganist, wliile the church chorus aud strong congregational singing greatly assisted the music. A feature of the service was the Wesley ohoir, beauti¬ fully vested, whicli made the scene even more impressive, as the members took the rallotted parts in the exercis¬ es. The services were regnarly open¬ ed, aud tbe special singing was a most enjoyable feature, the music being rendered under the direction of Mr.E. L. Posey, chorister. Mr. King render¬ ed -'Melody in O," and atter the an¬ nouncements Miss Ro.se V. MoKeeban beautitally sang the solo, "My Re¬ deemer and My Lord. "
Kev. W. P. Shriner, D. D., ot Oar- lisle, preached a practical sermon on "The Meaning of Ijife" in its intens¬ ity, iis bearing to others abont us and the uses wliicli are to be made ot the great gift. Dr. Shriner held his audi¬ ence trom start to Qnish, not by his elo([nence, bnt by the reasonableness aud practical reasoning aud expouud- ing of the great Bible truths in con¬ nection with this all-important theme. In the afternoon a large turnout resulted iu the Sunday school, the ses¬ sion being held in the church with Mr. E. L. Posey, the superintendent, in charge. Miss Sophie Shaffer presid¬ ed at the organ, and her efforts on the instrnment were both creditable and effective. The regular exercises were carried out according to the printed program aud the audience wais agaiu very large, almost crowding the capacity of the auditorium. Rev. Mr. Nichols had charge of the lesson and in a brief talk impressed the truths of the lesson ot ihe day. Dr. Shriner then spoke for half an hour on the duties of teacher.s aud othei Sunday so/iool workers. In his vigor¬ ous manuer aud by means of timely illnstrations he made each point a tell¬ ing oue and gave great encouragement in the work of training the pupils ot the sohool. The responsibilities aud methods of work teuding to secure the best results and means of dealing with apparently unresponsive cliildreu were dwelt upon, and Dr. Shriner's talk was full of practical advice and en- conrageuieut to all.
Iu the evening another largo attend¬ ance resulted aud many persons were not able to find room inside the church. Inspiring aud spirited gospel mnsic was selected and was reudered by choirs and cougregation with a vim and spirit. Miss Rose V. McKe.o- )iau agaiu favored the audience with tt vocal selection, rendering "At the Cloister Gate" iu a beauttnl manuer whioh her charming personality aud expression aud carefully traiued aud modulated voice allow her to preseut to floch effective advantage. Dr. Shri¬ ner agaiu preached a powerful aermon ou   '"The Greatest.Fo<d"^ aud^again
was lisienril to with rajit attention by all as he presented the truth in his forcible manner. The .services closed ¦iccording to the program, and the day marked the entrance of the local 1 cliurch into a new and broader tield and one nf the brightest possible pros¬ pects.

The hoard ot school diiector.s of Up¬ per Dublin township has purcliased a lot ot grouud from Dr. K.V. Mattisou uear Rose Valley and will erect there¬ on a scliool building capable for .some years of acconiiiiodating the rapidly grow-ing pojnilation of scliool age.
The ijurchase was iiiailc on Saturday afternoon, when the hoaril, compris¬ ing Messrs. Engle,Faust, .Morris, Beu- ner.s aud Klosterman, met on the ground and selected a lot :.'(iO by 2'iri feet at the corner of Douglass aud .Argyle avenues for the price of $Vi')0, Tlie site is admirably located, being of good elevation and situated near the Bethlehem turnpilie and only a sliort distauce from the numerously populated section about Trinity Me¬ morial chnrch ami scarcely a mile from the site of the jiroposed new- building operation of Dr. Mattison. on Soutli Main street. Be^iides the lof is located 00 the same street as the double houses recently (timpleted and occupied aloug .Argyle ffornierly Faust) aveuue.
The purpose of the purchase is to provide additional school facilities for the towuship and in order to ac- eoiuplish this the board will immedi¬ ately consider the erection of a school buiiding, which it is hoped to com¬ plete in time for the opening of the new term in September. The building will be ot local stone, ot a design best adapted for educational purposes and will acconiiiiodate a graded scliool of four rooms at first, but will be of snllicieut .size fo afford facilities ot at least as many more.
The township at present is refund¬ ing at four per ceut. its bonded debt of several .series, amounting to •'613,- 1100, thereby saving a considerable sum to the taxpayers. It is proposed to issue u new series of probably $?0(10 additional tn cover the extra cost of the lot and the school building.
.At the present time and for a unm¬ ber of years the board has beeu under the necessity of sending to the .\mbler school and jiaying the tuition there¬ for to the-Ambler board of those pupils of school age, residing in close prox- iuiity to t!ie borougli line, especially at Kose Valley, Liudeuwold farms. Trinity green and Lindenwold ter¬ race, 'i'he tuition of tliese pupils costs LTpper Dublin towuship about $S00 jier vear, aud Ihe uumber eomiug to .Am¬ bler is now about •50~ii)ore than sulJic- iiiiE for a room by tiiemselves. In ad¬ dition to these pupils, it is the inten¬ tion of the L'piier Dublin board to close the school at Rose Hill, where there are about 4(i pupibs. Tliese scliol ars.it is thought, can be accommodat¬ ed at Three Tuns ami at the new Rose Valley i^chool according as tbeir prox- iniitv r        "l.tr schcul de'erii'iiT '-•
