The Ladies Missionary Society of
the Congregational church met last
Wednesday at the house of Mr.. d.
Fowler. In addition to the usual ex-
erclses, an interesting event took place
in connection with the resignation of
Mrs. Jones as President Of the Society.
Mr.. Jones in a short time will leave
for Missouri, and the ladies wished to
show Mrs. Jones how much they APP
preciated her untiring zeal and labor
in every good cause. She received as
a token of their respect and love a
handsome set of china and an arm
chair. 1t will be some time before her
place will be filled here, but the So
ciety must remember that there are
other places requiring just such a Ia
boress as Mrs. Jones, and not blest
with such capable workers as the So
ciety here. and they may rest assured
that Mrs. Jones will obey the command
to the extent of her ability, Occupy
till I come" I understand that Mrs.
Corsbie takes up Mrs. Jones office,
and that she was presented with
a set of silver teaspoons. Mrs. Jones
was taken by surprise and felt very
much overcome by the mark of esteem
given her. Mrs. Corsbie, though help
ing to get up the present to Mrs. Jones,
was in the dark about her own, so the
ladies had a good time watching the
emotions their kindness brought out.
I have known Mrs. Jones for long
time, and have observed that she has
always lived the truths she believed.
May her lot be cast in pleasant places.
