What's Going On Here ?

Is a question asked many times nowadays. What means the buzz of the carpenters saw, the clink of the mason's trowel, the spash of the painters brush, the quiet but beautifying work of the paper hanger, the tearing down of the cash railway tracks, the removal of the display fixtures, the light ming workings of the electric light men2 It indicates progression it means that while work on the large addition to the big store is rapidly approaching completion, our entire building from cellar to garret is being renovated. A new ceiling-a work of art-is under way; new floors are being laid the walls are to be newly frescoed new cash tracks are in course ot erection; the latest approved nick; el plated display fixtures will speedily be in place; a new and most artistic glass front will soon greet your eyes; making, when completed, the most beautiful, commodious and best lighted dry goods house in New England.
 These are all to be for our mu. tual comfort, convenience and ben. eht-your benefit and ours.
 In the meantime, while all this remodeling is going on, we are, il possible, more on the alert thar ever to the requirements of oul friends, the public. You will fine that new goods are appearing 1T all the stocks daily, and with the aid of price-power we are getting them out of our way-and in you way, to our mutual satisfaction.

Trinity M. E. Church.

This church has indeed been blessed with a revival of Gods work. For the past nine years there has been a constant quickening of the membership without holding any ex- tra services. It has been noticeable in the Sunday congregations and also in the Sab- bath school. The class meetings have been largely increased. Thirteen classes are being held weekly, with large accessions to the membership. The Tuesday evening Pente- coastal service has been one of great power, attracting hundreds to that meeting, and the results have been indeed gratifying. To. morrow evening Dr. McChesney will con- mence a series of sermons to business men, having for its object the creation of higher standard among business men in their rela- tion to the church and society. The Social union connected with this church held it's annual reception this week, and the ladies' report of their work showed marvellous re- suits the past year. In the eight years of ex- istence they have raised and expended for charitable objects over 5000.
