be to do such deed.
An Italian refugee, whose name l
cannot write, as it almost twists my jaw
over to think of it, addressed the congre-
CATION at the M. e. church at the close of
the service last Sabbath, descriptive of the
prosecutions he and large family OF
| brothers and sisters experienced in Italy,
upon renouncing idolatry and embracing
christianity. He was listened to with
much interest, and commanded the SYM
pathy of all present. He is soliciting aid
to enable him to circulate the Bible among
his countrymen. He is evidently sim
cere and earnest man. | hope he may
succeed in his mission of mercy and love.
He comes well recommended by the for
eign missionary society.
The children and youth attached to the
NJ. e. Sabbath school at Middlebury, held
Sabbath School picnic last Wednesday.
The day was very fine and a large crowd
was present, and everything passed off
very pleasantly. Rev. Mr.. Bond, and
others addressed the crowd of people. The
children were happy. What a beautiful
sight to see children happy! 1t is the re-
suit of virtue. Vice begets misery and
wretohedness, and where those reign,
happiness is stranger. Let cur children
then be trained up to be virtuous that
they may be happy. This training can
be secured not only around the fire side,
| but in our Sabbath schools. [ would that
every child in our land and youth who
was enrolled among our Sabbath school
scholars, and that each succeeding Sab
bath might witness the millions of such
in our land drinking in the word of God,
and growing up to be useful, virtuous and
comparatively happy. Heaven bless our
Sabbath schools for they are truly the
nurseries of the church, the christians
hope of the world.
| Rev. E. P. Hooker was, last Wednes-
day, installed Pastor over the Congrega
! tional church in our village. The exer-
ci~es were of a very interesting character
and largely attended. Mr.. Hooker sue.
ceeds Professor c. n. Weber, who has
preached to the church the past year very
acceptably. l have no doubt that the
new pastor will prove a very worthy and
acceptable preacher as well as pastor, anc
we trust profit the people who may at
tend upon his ministrations. He possesses
commanding talent, and also that neces
sary prerequisite to make him useful il
our community, sincere and deep piety
God grant that his lator4 may result in
the conversion of hundreds now destitute
Of saving grace in our midst, that the
church may increase in spiritual influence
and power, spreading far and wide the
glory and power Of the Gospel Of Christ
our Lord. CANDOR.
