News of ali the Churches
A Sunday School Convention of the Long Island District U. Y. Annual A. M. E. Conference will be held in the local A. .M. E. Church, next Thursday and Friday, September 14 and 16.
'.'Fate" will be the Sunday morning sermon theme of Rev. Charles Herbert Scholey at the First Presbyterian Church. In the evening theie will be a musical and praiae aervice and an appropriate short sermon, "Awakened to Song." The following Sunday ev- ^ ening the pastor will hi^in a series of sermons especially intended for young people and the firat topic will be "The Lure of Liberty."
Last Sunday Dr. Scholey preached in the Woodland Avenue Presbyterian Church, Cleveland Ohio, of which he waa a former member, both morning and evening.
The following interesting item about Dr. Scholey waa published in one of the Cleveland papers during his visit there:
Rev. Charles Herbert Scholey, auth¬ or, lecturer and paator of the First Presbyterian Church at Freeport, Long Island, is visiting Cleveland friends this week and expects to occupy the pulpit of the Woodland Avenue Pres¬ byterian Church next Sunday. Only a few years ago .Mr. Scholey was one of the mischipvous boys in the Bible school of that church, but that was during the pastorate of Rev. PauJ F. Sutphen when the Woodland Avenue Church was regarded as one of the most prosperous parishes in Cleveland and was attended by very large con¬ gregations.
After passing through Central High achool and Adelbert College, be was graduated from Union Theological Seminary, New York City, with the clafis of iS98. Upon the recommenda¬ tion of the late Rev, Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of the seminary, .Mr. Scholey served a year at the City Park Branch, Brooklyn, N. Y., an enterpri.«o of the First Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Hall had been jiastor twenty years. Then came a year'.s study in Edinburgh, Scotland, followed by si.K years' pastorate in the East Harlem Presbyterian Church, New York City, and since that time four years in Free- port.
In addition to his success in the pul¬ pit, Mr. Scholey has gained an envi¬ able reputation on the lecture plat¬ form, being at present under the man¬ agement of The Stjr Lyceum Bureau. He has lectured in the public schools of New York City and surrounding towns quite extensively. The subjects of his illustrated lectures are; "Sleepy Hollow Reveries," "In the Land of Washington Irving and His Legends," "Quaint Edinburgh," "Oberammergau and Its Passion Play," "Old New York," and "Romantic Venice,"
The year Mr. Scholey spent in the City Park Branch gave him a rich ex¬ perience in the kind of combined social settlement and religious work that leading Cleveland churchmen have long wanted to establish here. They have felt it waa a great mistake to elimin¬ ate religious instruction from social service enterprises, believing that the two must go hand in hand in order to produce the best results.
—Cleveland Leader.

Dr. Bruce, the famous Toronto sur¬ geon, performed the operatioji on Aug. 21, and he ia slowly recovering. Mra Ketcham is helping nurse her husband at th^bospital.

Put it down in your diaries! The last day of August, 1911, was so cold tires were started in business places in the village.
Because one of the itien in the vil¬ lage power house happens to be a rela¬ tive, I have refrained trom speaking about it before, but I think it is too bad the men there are never given a vacation, working year in and out, with never a dav off unless too sick to work. All the other clerks and regu¬ lar employees are given a two weeks' vacation with pay, and they deserve comiec"ions°be ma'drat"the^polkrcourt   '', but not any more   than   the   enuin-

Village Trustees' Business
All the members of the Village Boaril of Trustees were present at the regular meeting Friaay evening but Trustee Myrick.
Chief of Police Wallace submitted his monthly report.
He stated he understood Captain Dunbar was to tqke a two weeks' va¬ cation and had not asked him for per¬ mission, and he thought be should have been consulted in the matter. The Board thought the proper procedure would be for the officer to make appli¬ cation to the Chief and he to recom- mei d to the Board for action as he saw fit.
Chief Wallace also  asked   that  gas
rooms, in order to heat it on cold days before furnace heat was installed. He was empowered to make necessary ar¬ rangements. Trustee Bedell assumed the gas would only be used for heating. ^ F. Borchert, secretary of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church,   advised

President Gunning reported he had made arrangements with a contractor at Garden City for rental of a ten ton BufTalo-Pitts roller   for $0   a day.
I'resident Gunning also reported En¬ gineer Finch, at the power house, had resigned,
1 rustee Sigmond said he believed the |iroper method of designating a suc¬ cessor would be to leave it to Engineer Smith, who is in charge at the power house. President Gunning said that he as committee at the power house would take up the matter with Engin¬ eer Smith immediately.
.Mr. Sealey, President of the Onslow- Afuore Company, called to the attent¬ ion of the Board where in several in¬ stances parts of streets in Bayview had been fixed with oyster shells, and other streets were now being lixed with Peekskill gravel, a space of a few feet was left between the two. It was the opinion of the Board that the space should be tilled in, to make better roadwork. and the street commissioner instructed to attend to this promptly.
It was decided to lower the water pipes on Wallace Street, where the street has b^en lowered, the work to he done at once.
It was decided to hold a special meeting Monday with the street com missioner. village engineer and repre¬ sentatives of John J. Randall Co. to go over and consider the condition of streets to be dedicated to the village by the Company,
D. VV. McKeeman. R. P. Welden and O. J. Teeple complained that the Peekskill gravel on Pearsall Avenue was from 13 to 15 feet wide," instead of 16 feet wide as on other streeta. The Board was not aware of this nar¬ rowing of the street, nor why it had been done. Engineer .Malcomson said that owing t the narrowness of Pear¬ sall Avenue he hacj recommended 15 feet as a proper width. No action was taken. Trustee Sigmond moved and Trustee Bedell seconded that any resolutions previously adopted fixing the width of depth of Heekskill gravel roads be rescinded, and the fixing of these measurements be left to the street committee, which is all the members of the Board.
President Gunning suggested the resolution be left till the next meeting H. C. Schluter and daughters, Edna when Trustee Myrick would be back -nd Helen, have returned from a short from his vacation. Vacation   at   JeflTersonville.    Sullivan
