Here then, in this attainment of an

work which will ever entitle them to
the gratitude Of humanity. Because
of this attainment the Revision viii

Already it is the basis Of all teach

Whether adopted for public reading
Immediately or not, it has begun
already to exercise an immense influ-

true word of God, or to keep abreast
with the sacred learning of the times.

OBITUARY.
MRS LoyINA CUMMINGS.

Lovina Caldwell was born at Paris, Maine, May IT, 1901. When about IA years old she began a religious life and united with the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she continued an ex- emplary member nearly 70 years, when her probation in the church militant ended and she was admitted into full fellowship in the church triumphant.
 On the 7th of May 1919 she was join ed in marriage to Isaac Cummings of Paris, Maine, with whom she shared the varied fortunes of life until July 24, 1856, when, by death, he was taken from her. This sad event left her with no home and in care of several children.
 In 1857 she went to Minnesota, to make her home there, as three of her sons were then living in that state. But soon after the outbreak of the civil war by an insurrection of the Indians she was driven from her home in such haste that she was obliged to leave everything and flee for life, and was for two weeks without shelter or warm food. She then returned to her native town, and in the fall of 1865 removed to Canaan, Conn.,, in which village she spent the rest of her life.
 For the last eight years she has been Q conformed invalid and great sufferer ; and during the last four-and-a-haf years wholly unable to walk. Yet her patient endurance and calm resignation have been remarkable, and such as could re- suit only from constant and vital union with Him who was made perfect through suffering.
 But the end of earthly changes and mortal suferings came; and on the 28th of July, amid the streakings of the morning twilight, her spirit entered in- to rest; mortality was swallowed up of life and earth's last shadows melted in heavens infinite day.

MooRE,s BALLOON AsoENuoNS.

Capt A. E. Moore and his photograph CT, MT John Doughty, made a balloon ascension from Winsted, at 5 P. M. on Wednesday, September 2. An immense crowd had assembled to witness their aerial flight. It was the finest and most successful ascension ever made. The sun shone brightly; not cloud was visible and the air was so clear that ob- jects many miles distant could be seen distinctly.
 The balloon rose gracefully and rap idly, taking a south -easterly course. When but few feet above the multi tude of upturned faces MT Doughty caught an instantaneous photograph of the scene. A safe landing was made on the farm of E. J. Whitehead, in the town of Kensington at 6,20, three or four miles from Southington. The gri- al voyagers had delightful trip and MT Doughty made some 12 or 15 differ ent views of the country they passed over.
 Capt Moore proposes to "brush the cobwebs from the sky" At2P. M. to- day he will make an ascension from Conetia park, New Milford. This is the second day of the New Milford fair and the managers deserve much credit for their enterprise and iberality in provid- ing for their patrons so pleasing spec tacle, for thousands will for the first time in their life have an opportunity to witness balloon ascension.
 Next week Capt Moore will make an ascension at the state fair at Meriden.
 On Friday, October 9 he will make an ascension from the fair grounds at Staf ford Springs.
