Methodists Get Pastor

New York, 1895

News of Hollis

It is with pleasure that the members of the Methodist church welcome the Rev. T. F. Clark as their pastor for another year.

An Old Folks' concert will be given on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the M. E. Church. The young folks have been rehearsing for some weeks for the occasion under the leadership of Mr. Hull of Brooklyn. A very interesting program is promised.

The members of St. Mary's guild assembled at the residence of Mrs. Wm. Nagle Tuesday evening, expecting to spend the time in sewing, as usual, but found that a surprise had been prepared for them by Mrs. Schultz, consisting of cake and ice cream. The little ones enjoyed the treat very much.

Mrs. A. P. Weidman and son are visiting friends in Pittsburg, Pa.

Mrs. Stein, who purchased a house on Carpenter avenue, has moved into it.

Hollis now lets her light shine. The street lamps were lighted Monday evening for the first time.
