 Next Sunday, 2d, is the date for quar- terly offerings in Grace church.
 Those present at Grace church, Sun day, listened to the old organ for the last time. Mir Towards men took it down, this week, so that carpenters could make necessary alterations in the organ loft. The floor is to be lowered about seven inches and substantial supports will be placed beneath to sustain the new instrument, which is much heavier than that just removed. As MT Howard re- quires ten days to set up the organ after it has arrived, it's tones will probably not be heard until the last Sunday in June. It will be necessary to close the church, the Sunday before. Music for interven- ing services will be furnished by cabi-
 net organ and Mir Boylston has already secured the use of one.
