The start from Chatham was nade at 8.15 a. and Kingston wns reached at ono o'clock, where a stop was made for lunch. Here a detour from the regular trip to Catskill was made around the Ashokan reservoir, past the fountains where tbe water is aerated fefore starting on its subterranean trip to New York.

The course then lay through the Catskill forests and the mountains, through the Great Notch to Hainca Falls, Tannersville and finally the Catskill Mountain House, past the most picturesque 1'iieiy to be found within a day's Journey of the From front of this hotel lay a. panor- unic view well worth traveling many miles to nee. From an elevation of about 3,000 feet the Hudson valley for miles lay at one's a magnificent and inspiring sight. The steep descent to Catskill was safely negotiated, that point being reached about six o'clock. The detour increased the length of the trip about 38 miles, but not one of the party regretted a single mile of it.

One purpose of the trip was to call on our old friend and fellow- townsman, Dr. 5. S. Van Oraen, who has Just taken over the Van Orden family farm on the Hudson Just outside of Catskill, about acres in extent. The farm was very much run-dowiij the doctor.

Baa- 7 The Knocker's irayer. Lord, please dont let this town grow. I've been here for thirty years, and during that time I've fought every public improvement. I've knocked everything and everybody, no firm or individual has established a business here without my doing all I could to put them out of business. I've lied about them, and would have stolen from them if I had the courage.

I have done all 1 could to keep the town from growing and never have spoken a good word for it. I've knocked hard and often. I've put ashes on the children's slide I've made tha marshal stop tne boys playing ball on my vacant lot. Whenever 1 saw anyone prospering or enjoying themselves I've started a reform to kill the business or spoil the fun. I don't want the, young folks to stay in this town and I will do all I can by law, rule and ordinance to drive them awany.

It pains me, Lord, to eee-that-tn-splte of-my knocking It Is beginning to grow. Some day, I fear I will be called upon to put down sldewalkB In front of my property and who knows but what I way have to help keep up the streets that run by my premises. This, Lord, would be more than I could bear. It would cost me money, though all I have was made right here In this town. Then, too, more people might come If the town begins to grow, which would cause me to lose some of my pull.

I ask, therefore, to keep this town at a standstill, that I may continue to be the chief. Amen. St. Patrick's Branch, The following ladies reported for work on Tuesday evening: Mrs. R.

It believes that no one can be in a right relationship with God who Is not also in a rlgh relationship with his neighbor that the church can help establish these relationships; that every one who admits that a community is better because of the church has a moral obligation to help support the church; that the church is not t6 be ministered unto but to minister.
