Epworth Leagues Show Prosperity

New York, 1895

The sixth anniversary of the founding of the Epworth league was celebrated at the Methodist church in Patchogue on Sunday. The three local societies have a membership of about 600, divided as follows: Senior league, 410; intermediate, about 60, and junior, about 130. Tne reports of the three secretaries and treasurers show a prosperous condition. All are free from debt with a good balance in the treasury. More than $150 had been used in the past year for charitable purposes.
