A squad of mar ines fromthe Philadelphia Navy Yar d in ful1dress fired the sa lu te of three vol leysover the grave, and the mar ine bug le rsounded taps. The American Leg ionfuneral service was read at the graveby the Post Commander, FrankSchrepfer. Six members of the Postwere the pallbearers: Arthur L. Cooke,William H. Durbin, Clifford K. Goodwin, Walter Miesen, John Nash andJohn Clarke. Fune ra l services wer e

March 13, 1931tar G h H Iheld at the home,of Mr. Hall's dauKh-ge at ermg ears ter , Mrs . Charles Greyer , 306 EssexMrs Grace Livingston Hill Avenue, at 2 o'clock and fr om the re the party proceeded to the cemetery.Mr. Hal1 was 97 years o f age .Las t Sunday evening the Women 'sBible Class of the Narberth Presbyterian Chur ch were responsible for amost interestini service in that church.The speaker ot the evening was noneother t han the disti nguished and beloved authoress, Mrs. urace Livinl{stonHill, the wr it er of a large number ofbooks of fiction which are particularlypopular with our younger generation.The women responsible t or t he program felt quite gratilied t o note t helarge and en thusIast ic a ttendance of345 people, which is a record Sundayevening figure.For once the ladies had e v e r y t b i n ~their way and carried through thewhole program with the ass is tance ofonly two men. Pe te r Stam, Jr., presided at the organ, and the pas to r,Rev. John Van Ness, who is also theteacher of the Women 's Bible Class,introduced the speaker. Mrs . J. B.Wheeler , p resident of the class, readthe Scripture resson.An out st anding feature of t he evening was the splendid si nging of t hewomen's chorus. They sang two veryfine selections, "Let Me Hel p Someone Today" and "He Was Woundedfor Our Transiressions." Mrs. PeterStam, J r. , a lso rendered a vocal solo.Mrs. Livings ton 's add res s was on"Separation." Introducing her topic,she very graphical1y related the storyof a man who had been saved froman angry sea by a minister, who, inturn, los t h is life. Upon his completerecovery, the rescued man neverceased to tel1 everyone with whom hecame in con tact , "A man died for meonce." And from this Mrs. Livingstonproceeded to speak upon the powerof the resurrection life as it is inChrist, and, how, though we sbouldbe dead unto sin, we should be al iveunto Chr is t and live in the power ofHi s resur rect ion. She ended her t al kwith a beautiful story of her ownwhich deal t wi th the problems of t he Iyoung people of Moses' day. IIt was, indeed, a rare treat and all Ithose who attended are hoping t hat. ano ther oppor tuni ty of this sort will Iagain be afforded out townspeople.H.V.W.
