Il is therefore important that all who feel in- l tel est in creamery should be prompt to express themselves.

 "Wednesday evening, Feb. 9th, the Baptist Sunday school and congregation held social gathering at the town hail. Notwithstanding the threatening weather in the morning and the sudden and ex- treme cold in the evening, about seventy persons, young and old, were present. Tables were tastefully and bountifully spread, and were surrounded successively until all had been supplied. This was fol- lowed by music, and the hand-shaking and the greetings of the early even- ing were continued. Not the least in- teresting part of the exercises was a pro- gram by the youngest of the company, without any preparation, without any prompting and without any hindrance, each acting his own program in his own way, according to his own out-gushing, joyful, child nature. At an early hour the com pany separated satisfied and hoping for a e-union at some future day.
