ASBURY METHODISTS
SING THE D0XOL0GY
The Methodist church for Home
week has been planning for a Kally
Pay November -t h, when an at
tempt should Ik- made to provide for
the new church building fund. The
day came dark and dreary. No day
thl season ha the rain fallen so
profusely and continuously, but In
spite of the Inclement weather the
planned-for Kally Day was a decided
success. The Sunday School led out
with an offering of f 1K, and then,
after a sermon by the pastor, on the
"Secret of 1'ower," the congregation,
with deliberate determination, got
their slionldern under their burden
nnd In a few minutes "'.' persons had
contributed over $.".0iM. Seldom, If
ever, have we een such magnani
mous giving. Not one of the :!! per
sons contributing gave less than $.".
With such a noble start, and with
that spirit of thrift which ha made
II I ltlver famous, the Methodist
church Is sure to realize her Ideal.
Work on the building will lie re
Hiimed at once, anil next summer a
handsome and spnelou church w ill

HAMBURGER CLUB

I he Hamburger Club, limited to
six members, held two notable af
fairs last week at the beautiful home
of the president. The first event was
held Tuesday evening, when the
guests sat down to a table laden
with a supply of hamburger steak
sutlicient for the employes of a large
sized lumlier camp, shoestring pota
toes ditto, and other satisfying vi
and. The feed was strictly a bach
elor affair, and the guests made suc h
an attack on the Inoffensive ham
burger that they have since been
ashamed to look a butcher shop in
the face. One member lu particular
I said to have stowed away so
much of the "burger" that he had to
be assisted from the table.
On Wednesday evening, hambur

of the local epicures, they purchased
