McCabe was evidently aware of the fact ‘that there is no one on duty in the police station nights.

Underneath the big ban. ner that floats from a lofty flag-pole in front of the church, is a service flag containing many stars. Every Thurs- day morning a group of thirty or more | women go to the church for an all-day | sewing meeting; taking their lunch- eons and remaining until the latter part of the afiernoon. The several sewing machines that are owned by the church are kept humming all day. e 2 include service for the local hospitals and other worthy organizations. Re- cently, in answer to an appeal from France, the Woman’s Guild of Dr. Slo- sum’s church sent two large hoxes of clothing for needy people overseas. Dr. R. R, Reeder, one of the dea- cons of the Warburton Avenue church, and superintendent of the famous New York Orphanage at Hastings-on-the- Hudson, has gone to France at the earnest solicitation of the French gov- ernment. to establish the orphanage work ‘over there on the same educa- tional and moral basis on which he has been so successfully conduciing it at Hastings. FHis letters to his pastor and to other Yonkers' friends, are full of thrilling interest. Dr, Slocum is nearing the close of his first year in Yonkers. It has been a very busy and a very happy vear. His son Lorimer is a freshman at Princeton University where he is doing excellent work; and his younger son. Jameson, is taking honors in tbe sen- ior class in Peddie Institute, where he serves as pianist for the school and Accompanist for the glee club. Jame- son will enter Princeton next fall. Mrs, Slocum, is spending a few weeks at the sanitarium in Clifton Springs, N. Y, where, it was found, that she was £y cal attention. She is now successfully convalescing and will return home considerably improved in health. Dr. Slocum has been honored by Newton Theological Inetitution. from which he gradvated in 1898 by his appointment as the commencement orator for this coming June.
