Interesting Service.

Last Saturday afternoon, Rev. MIR.
Shoemaker. wife and child, who left
Japan the 10Th of last month conduct
ed missionary meeting of rare in.
terest. 1T was the regular time for
the monthly missionary meeting of
the church and Mrs. 5. J. Cressey
presided and Mrs. ID w. Currier read
the scriptures and called the roll of
members Most of the members res.
pended with an appropriate portion of
scripture. Mr.. Shoemaker made the
address and in it graphically and with
great interest described many incl
dents in his four years experience as
missionary. Much knowledge was
impaired; and he told of the fidelity
uf some OF the CONVEX Is as being of a
very high order. One yourg man,
rather than forsake his Savior suffered
patiently and most heroically, being
made an outcast by bis family, disin-
herintance by his wealthy father,
scorn and contumely. He is now in
Toxic, studying for the ministry. A
woman sixty-tiye years old, bent
nearly double, often walked ten miles
to hear preaching although so
aged and deformed desired baptism
her son carried her Ia his arms into
the water, and when the native pastor
pronounced the baptismal sentence
the son gently, even tenderly, lowered
the aged convert beneath the water,
in likeness of the Savior's burial, and
raised her up in likeness of his resur
rection. And then the venerable
saint rejoiced exceedingly. Mrs.
Shoemaker described the interesting
curios from Japan in very pleasing
manner. Their little girl Lois was
dressed in Japanese costume and add
ed much to the interest and pleasure.
Mrs. Gorham. of Hudson, sister of
Mrs. Shoemaker, sang solo very APP
propriately.

An Interesting Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair


One of the most attracting and in
teresting exhibits at the y orld's Fair
is that of the Keystone Watch Case
Co., of Philadelphia, which enjoys the
unique distinction Of being the largest
watch case manufacturing concern in
the world. The exhibit is centrally
located in Section o, Block l, of Man.
ufactures and Liberal Arts Building.
on the main or Columbia aisle. The
booth is designed and finished on a
scale of richness that admirably har.
monies with the goods exhibited. A
pavilion classically proportional.
quantity carved, and finished in ivory
and gold, forms an imposing back
ground; while the showcases with
their lsvishly expensive finish, are a
fitting repository for their glittering
contents. Every possible description
of watch case is numerously illustrat-
ed, and in variety of designs that
reveals the lirnitless ingenuity of the
modern gold worker.
The enormous factories of this Com
pany occupy an entire block of ground
in the Quaker City, give employment
to | 300 individuals. and have an out.
day. The entire resources of the con
cern are confined to the manufacture
of cases only, just as the entire re-
sources of the Elgin and Waltham fac
tories are limited TO the manufacture
of movements only. Not few of our
readers may learn now for the first
time that the cases and works of the
watches in their pockets are made in
different factories, having no connec-
ton whatever with one another--case
manufacturing and movement manu-.
featuring being entirely distinct in
dustries The Keystone cases are
made by machinery of the most CON-
plicated character, much of which
was invented by and is the exclusive
property of this Company. They are
also the sole proprietoTs of many we'll
known patents, the now world famed
thiefproof Non.pull-out Bow being
one of the most valued. All their
products, the best known of which are
the popular Jas. Boss Filled Gases, are
handled by our local jewellers.
Besides watch cases the exhibit has
many special features that are as in.
structive as curious. One of these is
q HONtIHcitG III q iOuT~OuuC6 L6du6T Sill
yer case which continues TO tick bland
ly though weight of three hundred
pounds is resting on the case. Anoth-
er interesting curio is a silver case
weighing five pounds seven ounces,
and complete in every respect. 1t con
tains a regular American movement.
which it both winds and sets. There
are also shown many old and curious
watches of all kinds, shapes and sizes,
made within the past three hundred
years, many of then of historical and
all of mechanical interest Those of
our readers who may visit the Fair
and desire to gain thereat proper
realization of latter-day manufactur-
ing progress in its more refined aspect,
should not fail to visit this handsome
and elaborate exhibit of the Keystone
Watch Case Co.
