ill addition to the lecture features there will be a splendid band of 25 pieces, a full orchestra and m.any other musical numbers, chief among which is the double quartet from the Tuskegee institute in Alabama.
There wiil be many good laughs dur¬ ing the Chautauqua. It stands for pleasure, instruction, enjoyment. Not only does it exalt the good, the beauti¬ ful and the true, but it emphasizes the humerous as weil.

BICENTENNIAL AT ABINGTON.
Presbyterian Churcti Founded 20 0 Years Ago.
Services All the Week—Secretary Bry¬ an  Spoke   Monday   Evening—History and Development of the Charge. The :;00th anniversary of the found¬ ing   iif  Abington   Presbyterian   church is   bo'.ng observed   this   week,   services having commenced Sunday.
Rev. Junies W. Wiliiam.s, pastor, de¬ livered an historical address in the niorning. In the afternoon all the services were devoted to a jubilee cele¬ bration by the Sunday school, with an address by Rev. Ur. Frederic Wiiliam Loetschor, of Princeton Theological seminary; with a special musical pro¬ gram directed by A. Ii. Entwistle, and with James Baird presiding at the or¬ gan. At Sunday night's service, a former pastor of Abington church made the leading address—Rev. Wil- li.Tin Scott Nevin.
Monday evening William Jennings liryan, secretary of state, made an ad- dross on "Religion's Place in the Life," the meeting being held in the Abing¬ ton high school.
Indicative of the deep religious senti¬ ment of the original seventy who met to f(jrm a church 203 years ago, there is trite reference in the ancient church records preserved,  which  say:
"In the townahip of Abington, year 1711, we, whose names are underwrit¬ ten, have engaged ourselves to be Te Lord'.s, and do hereby engage our¬ selves to Ye Lord, and one another to unite in a church-state according to the rule God gave in His word to di¬ rect His church in all the duty requir¬ ed tow.nrd God, ourselves and toward all men."
Thia was an "engagement-announce¬ ment," which has endured for two centuries. There is another tabloid record  which reads:
"Abington Presbyterian church, Abington, Penn. Founded, 1714; rebuilt, 1793; enlarged, 1833; rebuilt, 1866; de¬ stroyed by fire, 1895; rebuilt, 1896; re- dedicated, Sept. 30, 1896; 200th anni- sary. May, 1914."
In 200 years only 12 ministers have served this church—another factor that has served ita part in making permanent an "engagement-notice" of 1711.    They were:
Rev. .Mulachl Jones, 1714-1729; Rev. Richard Treat, 1731-1778; Rev. Wil¬ liam M. Tennent, 1781-1810; Rev. Wil¬ li.am Dunlap. 1812-1818; Rev. Dr. Ro¬ bert Steel, 1819-1862; Rev. Dr. J. L. Winthrow, 1863-1868; Rev. Dr. Sam¬ uel T. Lowrie, 1869-1874; Rev. L. W. Bckard, D. D., 1874-1891; Rev. Dr. L. S. Fulmer, 1892-1894; Rev. John R. Henderson, 1895-1899; Rev. Wiiliam Scott Nevin, 1900-1903;  Rev. Jamea W.
"The Neighbors."
The closing event of lho year for "Tlie Xeighbors" was held Saturday afternoon at -'.15 in Loller hall, Hat¬ boro. "The Ladles of Cranferd" was presented according to ideas taken from the book by Jli.ss JIarion E. Goentner and Mr.s. Gertrude Shafer. Jn the portrayal of the play they were assisted by .Mrs. Delia S. Davis, Mrs. Maud Stover, .Mlss Anna Darrah, Jliss Marion Eddeslunv, Miss Adellene Yer¬ kes, Miss Amy Z. Yerkes, Miss Edith I l^lallowell and Miss Ann.a Gilmore, Little Hannah Hollingsworth and Thelma Fite, Carroll Stover and Lentz Rothwell.
Between the acts Miss Helen Don- levy gave selections on the harp and vocal solos with harp accompaniment. A tableaux of brides waa tho last number of the program. The first was Mrs. Lester Bosler wearing the wedding gown of Tacy Ann Penrose. It has been wonderfully preserved, aa it is moro than 70 years old. The other brides were accompanied by bridesmaids and flower girls. Mrs. Carl Garner, Jlrs. Richard Dutton, Miss Eliza Jlorgan, Miss IHorence Wil¬ liams and Jliss Hannah Raab compris¬ ed the bridal party. Their attendants were Jlrs. George Parry, Miss Anna JIarkley, Jli.ss Florence Garner, Jliss Ann.a Butcher and Miss Elsie Buck- man. The flower girls were Hannah Hollingsworth, Dorothy Moore, Mary Thompson and Eleanor Leedom.
Those privileged to a card of ad¬ mission were charmed with their af¬ temoon. It was one of the most de¬ lightful affairs ever given by the club.

Score Notable Victory Saturday at Bethlehem.
Consecutive    and   Timely   Hitting    De¬ feats    Strong     East     End    Team—C. Robinson's     Great    Catohes—Leaguo    i Opens  Here Saturday.
No game ever won gave tho playera of the victorious side more sincera pleasure tiian that of last Saturday at Bethlehem between the East End ciub, of that piace, and the K. & M. A. A., of Ambler, which was won by tlio lo-i ciils by the score of 9 to 5. The sat¬ isfaction came not only from the mera victory, but from the fact that it waa achieved against a team that is com¬ posed of players who havo mado their marks in the baseball world and aro now in the semi-professional ranks. The writer was surprised to sec Ran- jdall, of Germantown, who was the star fcitcher of the Glenside team in tho md North Penn league, do tho hurl- mg for the East Enders. Mease, who was covering (irst baso for tho Beth¬ lehem club, will be remembered as having just recently been released by the Scr.anton team, of the New Y'orki .State league. Another who is well known here, is Harvey, of Glenside, wl!o is playing a great game in centro field.
The large crowd waa treated to most spectacular fielding and batting by tha K. and M. boys, and this no doubt greatly consoled the home fans for tha loss of the game. Manager Wacker sent Besson to the hill as Houpt com¬ plained of a sore arm and for threa innings Besson was good, allowing but two hits, one in the first and ona in the third. At the start of the fourth Besson began to weaken, and the fifth inning saw his flnish and Houpt was sent in. From that period! until the ninth the East Enders wera helpers. Houpt pitched a remarkable game, Besson having filled the bases with no one out, having allowed ai single and given two bases on balls, but Houpt proved himself equal to the occasioa by fanning the fir.st bat¬ ter. The next walked, forcing in a run, but as the next batters failed toi do anything the side was retired. The five innings Houpt was on tha rubber he proved an enigma, as tho Eethlehemitea failed to deliver ona safe blow. In the third and nintli inninga C. Robinson made two catches of fly balls that will be rememberecj by the Bethlehem fana for a long time, especially that in the flnal jieriod which waa the last put out of tha game. Jliller w^ho had been walked three times by Besson, came up in the ninth, and catching one of Houpt'a fast ones on the end of the bat he drove the ball high and far lo left cen¬ tre. C. Robinson was off at the crack of the bat, but it looked impoaaibla for him to get up to the ball before it fell into the fleld seats, bC^as he nesy^j. ^, ed the sphere he leapfed into tho air' and clutched the ball. He wsCS) ap-i plauded to the echo.
Davies and F. Wodock were thorna in the side of Randall. The former made two hits, a single and a three-i bagger, while the latter had three) safe blows, .one of whleh went for three bases.
Randall's finish came in the sixth, when the Anibler boys amassed eight runs on five hits, three stolen bases, three bases on balls, a batter hit and three errors. Stauffer relieved Ran¬ dall before the inning and pitched good ball.
The locals' first tally waa acored In the first. F. Wodock got a single and On Davies' single he went to third, scoring on H. Robinson's sacrifice fly to right field. An error, a base on balls, two singles and a wild pitch scored the three runs for the East End-J ers in the fourth. The fifth and last tally was scored in the eighth, an er-i ror, two stolen bases and a single be¬ ing resiponsible for the run.
Donofry, who has been playing ai smart game for the locals, suffered a painful accident, being struck on tha thumb by one of Randall's fast onea splittinf? it from the first joint to tha end. A physician was called and dressed the wound. Donofry was un¬ able to continue in the game, and Manger Wacker sent Firman to flrst and F. Wodock to third.
This Saturday, Memorial day, K. &i M. A. A. will play morning and a,t-i ternoon games with North Wales. The forenoon game will be played at North Wales and the afternoon con-* test on Lindenwold field. These two games will also be the opening clashes for the local team in the newly or¬ ganized Montgomery County league. Score of Saturday's game.
