A PASTOR'S VACATION TRIP.
MR. EDITOR:---
Most ministers take their vacation in summer. We chose
November for ours. We left Yaphank on the 10th and
visited the following places. Woodhaven where the Long
Island Bible Society was held, Brooklyn, Allentown, N.J.
where we heard a fine sermon from Rev. George Swain D.
D., Trenton, Dutch Neck where was held a Sabbath School
Anniversary with over 200 wagons in attendance, Jamesburg
where the Rev. Francis Smiley was holding interesting
evangelistic services, Newark, Junction, N.J. where we
heard a good sermon by the Rev. A. L. Kelly on Rebecca,
or right principles in courtship.
At New York we visited the American Institute Fair, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cave, the Menagerie and
other interesting scenes in Central Park. Strangers
should visit these.
At Jamesburg we visited the Boys' State Reform School. It
is well managed by Mr. Otterson.
At Richmond Hill we attended the local union of all the
Y.P.S. of C.E. in the town.
Thanksgiving day was spent at Jamaica, L.I. where at the
union service in the Reformed church an admirable sermon
was delivered by Rev. J. Howard Hobbs.
We return to Yaphank on the 28th after a pleasant trip
believing that November as well as August is a good time
to take a vacation trip. J.M.D.
