The reunion of the Flack family was largely attended on Saturday at the home of Mary Jane Flack in Doylestown township. Over 150 members of the clan were present. Dinner was served under a large tent on the lawn and a fine social time was spent during the day.

A program was rendered which was opened with scripture reading followed with prayer by Rev. J. B. Krewson, of Forrest Grove. A hymn, "Blest Be the Tie that Binds" was sung, after which the minutes of last year's meeting were read and approved. An address was made by Rev. J. B. Krewson, who said that men should always strive hard to live a larger life. Rev. Krewson said that all persons ought to congratulate themselves upon living in this progressive age and advised being careful not to live a life in vain."Does Ma Feel She Was Pa." was well recited by Miss Edna Paxson. A musical selection "He Leadeth Me," was the next feature. A recitation "Our Hired Girl" was given by Fretz Slotter.

Chairman Roland Flack, expressed hopes that a large number of members might gather next year, and urged all to notify every one related to the family. The exercises were closed by singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," and the pronouncement of the benediction by Rev. Krewson.
