laAkE EVILL E..

A convention of the Litchfield county w. c. T. U. met in this village last week. The convention opened Thurs day evening with lecture by Miss Elizabeth Greenwood, of Brooklyn. She chose for her subject the W. c. T. U. motto "For God, and Home, and Native Land," dwelling particularly upon the home and the influence exer- ted in it by principles of good and evil. The full house and attentive audience proved the interest which the lecturer always excites in this town. The I. O. G. T., of Salisbury Centre, attended the lecture in a body, wearing the regalia of the order. On the following morn ing the convention met at 9.15, when Miss Greenwood gave a scripture expo sition, taking for subject the charac- ters of Mary and Martha" showing that the two prominent characteristics presented in them are the two essen- tials of christian life. Following the devotional hour came the regular busi- ness of the convention, including the reports of secretary and treasurer, an address of welcome by one of Lake ville's temperance women, with a response by Miss Norton, county secre- tary and the reports from various unions represented. At l2.l5 there was a collation. served in Academy hall, when it was found that the Lakeville ladies were again equal to their reputa tion for providing an abundance of good things to eat. The afternoon session consisted of exercises of miscellane- ous kind, including talk on the w. c. T. U. work in this state and elsewhere, by Mrs Andrews, state secretary; a very interesting paper on narcotics by Mrs Beach, of Norfolk and the elec- tion of officers, which resulted as fol- lows : President, Miss Gertrude Norton; secretary, Mrs Colt and treasurer, Miss Eld1idge, At four o'clock the temper ance school, which has long been established here. came in and listened to short addresses from members of the convention, after which the school was organized intoa "loyal legion," under which name it will work hereafter. l.. w.

As 8 result of this convention W. c. T.. U. was organized here, to include members from all parts of the town.
 The exercises of Children's day, con- sisting of music, recitations and respon- sive reading, on Sunday last were very pleasing. The church was very taste. fully and prettily decorated, and the children each performed their parts with credit to themselves and to those in charge of the service The collection
 which was for the cause of education, was remarkably good one. Our vii lage is looking beautiful now; especially would we remark the appearance o1 Main street, which has recently been much improved by the removal of one or two dooryard fences Mrs Dr Bis sell and May are visiting friends in Nov Jersey The summer boarders are be- ginning to come and strawberries are ri. pening ....

FALLS VILLAGE.

The Congregational churches in town
 have engaged Rev J. D. Herman, a graduate of Yale college, to occupy their respective pulpits for one year. MT Herman is an off hand speaker, not necessarily being confined to notes. He preached fine sermon Sunday to the children from the 11th chapter of Mathew, 29th verse. The pulpit was covered and entwined with flowers,
 mostly white, and large bouquets were
 placed on each side. The full seating capacity was occupied Sunday evening, the services being devoted to the child ren. That no labor, time or painstak- ing had been spared to make it as attrac 1 tive and successful as the most exacting could wish, was evident from the first view of the floral adornments until the last part of the program had been pre- sented. The concert service was enti- tied "The Light House." which was about ten feet in height and covered
 with evergreens, and the inscription at the top in which was light, was the
 word "Jesus," and below were the words, in white flowers, "The Life and
 Light of Men" To the left of the platform was large easel covered with green holding q pillow of white flowers 1 in which were arranged transversely an anchor composed of red peonies. The ] pulpit and sofa had been removed and i the space was covered with flowers,
 consisting of large pillow, shaft and baskets on either side, large anchor of daiscs and sweet honeysuckles and two t; large baskets of many varieties and colors. The altar railing was trimmed
 with ferns and ribbon grass It was the largest and finest display of cut ! flowers ever seen in the NJ. D. church.
 The services opened with an invocation l by Rev J. D. Herman, followed by a song Brightly beams our Fathers mercy" then came responsive repeti- tion of verses by the superintendent and school, and the whole service was interspersed with biblical selections and singing, the program being so long we are unable to publish it in full Rev Mir Moore made few remarks which were followed by the pastor of the church, Rev C.. H. Reynolds, closing
 with 8 song and benediction. All agree that it was fine affair and reflects credit on all who took an active part.
