A surprise that was not surprise, was the
gathering Wednesday evening, Oct. 3, at
Mrs. Addie Baldwin's. to witness the mar
riagc OF her daughter Miss Ella d. Baldwin,
to Mr. David F. Fraser. The ceremony

period In their life. The presentation of q
honey dish by Mr.. Jacobs of Richmond might
have had significance in it. rot only that
MIR. Fraser dealt largely in this article. but
that its honeymoon might continue through
life. After bouniiful collation.. the evening
was spent in hearty congratulations and
good wishes that a long and prosperous voy-
age Of life might be their lot, and social en-
joyment with instrumental and vocal music
being freely interspersed, added much to the
joy of the gathering.

The Goth anniversary Of the Chittenden
county Sunday-school association was held
at Essex last week. The weather was
lquite unpropItious, but the attendance was
nevertheless fair on the first day and quite
large on the second day. This association, OF
Uuion as 1t was first chrstened originated in
Essex. And 1t was fitting that 1t should, for
here In 1918 the first Sabbath school in the
county probably was organized. And here
also "Chldrens' Day" an anniversary now
becoming very popular. was first observed in
1921. when the children Of the congregation
were all seated together in the body of the
church, and Rev. Asaph Morgan preached tc
them.
The attention OF some friends of Sabbath
schools had been called to the importance OF
organized effort in this direction, by some
articles that about that timo appeared ia
the Sunday. school Times published at Phila.
delphia. 1t so happened that the pastor OF
the Congregational church, Rev. Mr.. Kings
bury and layman S. G. Butler, were CON

Burlington and Willistop, and the other
Jericho and Wostford, to see il sufficient in
terest could be awakened among pastors to

purpose. They did so, and received such
encouragement that they invited the evangc-
llcal churches of the county to meet in con-
ven,ion at Essex at the Goth day of
October, 1858. The result was q most inter.

Essex and by many laymen Of The churches
in the county. So much interest was
awakened that permanent organization was
formed, which has since held its annual
meetings in different towns OF the county
without any omission, and has been the
means OF perpetuating an interest in SaU-
bath school work that has resulted in much
good. In reviewing the history Of the az.

elected by statistics from all the Sabbath
schools In the county that large proper
