Col, N. NJ Puffer, but there has since
been found a drummer boy of 81 who
entered the services few days younger

ing a series of illu-trated biographical
articles Of the Veterans Of the Union
Army, and in lite current Sunday issue
we find the following:
Chaplain Samuel B. Willis is probably
the Oldest comrade in the ranks OF the
Grand Army. He was born March 2,
1908, at Salem, Mass., and passed the
term of his boyhood in the district schools
of that ancient and hist ric city. In
common with the spirit of those days
his mind was early directed to religious
subj cts, ard he resolved to enter the
ministry,
The law and the other professions
did not offer The Inducements in those
days that they do at present to young
men, and he entered Phillips Academy
at Andover, Mass, where he studied
under Professor John Adams, a leading
light of the times.
He afterward graduated at Union
College and entered the ministry, being
ordained as Congregationalist in 1884.
His first charge was at Bennington, VT
He afterward Joined the Baptists, who al
that time were not numerous. Cold
water was not as popular as New EGG
land rum, and the Hard Shells as they
were known, had hard work pulling
against the stream
"He preached in various places until
the breaking out of the war, when, al.

he caught the sulphuric inspiration OF
the day and resolved to go tothe front. Ht
was too old to handle musket, but could
fight with his mouth, and he accepted
the commission of chaplain Of the 18th

Quincy, and Joined the regiment at Hi.

THE EVANGELISTIC MEET LNGS

THE EVANGELLSTIC MEET LNGS.
The preparation for the Inauguration
Of this series OF meetings, under the
leadership Of the Rev. b. Fay Mills, has
been going on for several weeks. Our
readers have been conversaut with these
facts, but retrospect may not be unin-
teresting now that the union revival
meetings have actually commenced,
The invitation to DR.. Mills was extended
by the First and Second Congregational,
the Baptist and Methodist Churches OF
this village and Bennington Center. The
first thing done was to organize these
congregations into committees for work
both preliminary and auxiliary to the
meetings. This explains the cordial in.
vItations extended personally to attend
the multiplied services Of the past week
In this manner the WY has been pre-
pared. OF the more public preparations
we note that last Thursday some 200 at
tended the union prayer meeting in the
chapel Of the Second Congregations
Church. On Friday the Baptist chape
was crowded for similar meeting. Sun
day evening these four churches came
together at the Methodist Church, and
again on Monday evening at the OLD
First Church, as noted elsewhere, and
Tuesday again at the Methodist Church
All these activities tended to give Mr.
Mills the enthusiastic welcome accorded
his first appearance last evening, wher
the revival exercises were formally in
augurated under the leadership of ths
Evangelist. The song service, mean
time, received attention. A choir of 10C
voices has been in training and showed
themselves last evening fully equal tc
the expectation as coworkers in thit
season Of prayer and praise.
