The ladies of the Congregational church

of the church on Friday afternoon and eve
ming of this week. The gentlemen are
invited to tea at five o'clock. - The
Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle
was organized in this place last October
and, with the exception of the week of
prayer, we have held weekly meetings.
The prescribed course gives quite a compre-
hensive knowledge of ancient Greece, her
religion, heroes, warriors, poets, philoso-
piers, and people generally. We get most
appetizing taste of the literature Of that
wonderful people, besides much useful and
entertaining information concerning the en-
tire eastern world Of that period Some
people suppose that the reading suggested
by Chautauqua is superficial. That depends
entirely upon the reader. If there be In the
reader an honest determination to make a
proper use of the books, he will find that he
has on hand work that carries him far be-
meath the surface. Further, the true Chau-
tauquan, at the end of the first year, will
have mastered many lessons in chemistry,
and possess such knowledge of the history,
structure, and use of the English language
to be obtained only in the higher schools.
A few works on other subjects provide en-
tertaining and helpful eading-particularly
Dr. Bushnell's chapters on the Mature OF
Jesus" Here is something that opens a
study into the nature and character of the
Savior in most suggestive manner. Such
a book should be in every home and sew
eral of them in every Sunday-school library

magazine OF sixty-one large pages. 1t is
brimful of thousand good things. Our
weekly programme is designed to cover, and
to go beyond little, the readings for the
past week. 1t consists Of essays, readings
discussions, etc. Our topic for debate one
week from next Saturday is "The compare
tive influence Of Athens and Sparta upon
the world during the period of Grecian SUI
premacy." The course of reading Of the
Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle is
the best known method of making our win
ter evenings both pleasant and profitable
and, If followed, 1t cannot fail to teach both
young and old one of the most needful les
sons-how to save leisure hours and even
minutes from running to waste. - The
Methodists are to have donation visit
next Thursday afternoon and evening al
the residence of the pastor, Rev. George X
Smith, for his benefit. - Last Monday
