REFERRING to the contemplated series
OF meetings soon to DO held here, the
Rev. Chas. r. Seymour OF the Second
Congregational Church says: THE four
churches Of Bennington, which have go
cordially united in q work under the
leadership OF the Rev. B. Fay Mills, are
TO be congratulated on the favoriug cir
cumstances attending the movement, not
the least Of which is their choice Of an
evangelist. OF course the assurance Of
such an enterprise lie the favor of God,
Except the Lord build the house, they
labor In vain that build it, But ability,
wisdom and love In the man who directs
are essential to that drawing and hold
ing power which shall for the time being
make many churches one, and which
shall satisfy community day by day as
the work progresses that one sole object
is aimed at, viz : The interest OF all the
people in the graveet Of themes. The
career OF Mr.. Mills as an evangelist has
been 4 notable one. Turned aside from
his leading idea when, four years since,
he entered on the work Of an evangelist,
that OF preaching TO the very poor, he
has been held to the work Of awakening
strong churches to new possibilities, and
Of enlarging the scope Of their operations.
His success has been very marked. In
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
Boston, his name is most favorably
known. In Worcester and SPRING
field, very large accessions to
church membership have followed his
preaching. His coming to Bennine ton
about Oct. LIST, is to be looked upon as
special providence. II lie hoped that no
one in our town may fail of the benefit,
which will be offered 10 all in q genuine
gospel spirit"

A PIG IN THE FENCE.

Didst never observe when pig tn the fence
Sends forth his most pitiful shout,
How all Of his neghbors betake themselves thence
To punish him ere he gets outS
What a hubbub they raise, so that others afar
May know his condition, and hence
Come running to Join them in adding scar
To the pig that is fast in the fenceg
Well, swine are not all Of the creatures that be,
Who will find themselves sAicking between
The rails Of the fence and who strive TO get free,
While the world is still showing lem in;
Who find that the favor they met with depends,
Not on worth, but on dollars and cents;
And that it's but few who will prove themselves
friends
To the pig that is fast in the fence.
