Reports were made by the vice-presi-

increasing interest in the work through
out the State, and the organization of
several new auxiliaries since the last
meeting of the branch. The annual re-
ports of the secretary and treasurer were
read and accepted. Then followed the
reading of a paper on "Womans Work

enlargement from Mrs. Bowker, of
Boston, president of the Woman's Board.
A business meeting of the officers was
held at half-past six, when it was voted
that the Vermont Branch should assume
the support of the Misses Ely, mission
aries at Vann, Turkey, and should pledge
three hundred dollars from the mission
circles in the State, in partial support of
the schools in Ceylon, and in Fouchaw,
China.
A devotional meeting was held at half
past seven, when Mrs. Bowker addressed
the ladies at length, relating many facts
concerning the formation of the Wo-
mans Board, and what it has already
accomplished, besides giving many val
liable suggestions as to the organization
and work of branch societies.
The meetings were largely attended
and full Of interest.

2,144 words. Although minute, the
words are evenly and plainly written,
and we read the whole distinctly with

Orr MOTHERS, who were the best and
tidiest housewives in the world-exoept-
ing our grandmOthers took especial
pride in the possession of rows of tin
ware that glistened like a polished mir
ror. Every article about their houses
susceptible of polish, including the brass
knocker, was regularly frightened up
until it fairly glistened. With their
primitive materials, such as Bath brick,
emery, rotten stone, etc, it was a seri-
Gus labor, albeit one of love. Nova
days, however, their daughters use Sa-
polio, and in one hour can polish more
articles and do it better than they could
in whole day. If you wish to excel
your mothers in the brightness of your
kitchen ware, use Sapolio.

quotations were given IN support OF THIS view.
The word not only has germlnant power: II Is
highly nutriJve. No one will say God designed
that the ocean should rise in its wrath and
whelm the mariner. yet tnese dire results are
often witnessed. The rain that ID intended TO
nourlsh the earth and bring forth bountiful har-
vests also nourlshes thOrns and trees that bear
POISONOUS FRUITS.

The same truths feed the justified ssul and over
