CHURCH PROSPERITY.


 Rev w. F. White, Sunday morning, briefly reviewed the work of the church during the year past, taking for his theme, .''The church of the living God is generation" He outlined the social changes that had affected the parish and the methods that had been pursued to ex- tend the kingdom. Among the latter was the organization of an Endeavor society with two auxiliaries in school houses and a Junior Society, in all having about l20 members. Also the organization Of a home department of the Sunday school with a membership of 75. Also the or ganization of Chautauqua circle with membership of 17. The church has gain ed in membership and strength over all losses by death and removals. A new bell has been added during the year at an expense of $500. A new lecture room is being fitted up in the basement. New hymn books are about to be procured. During the year ending October l, 1892, about $l200 was received from weekly offerings. The benevolences of the church amounted to $260. It is understood that the church's funds are also to be increas- ed to the amount of $1700 from friends who have died during the year. In the Sunday school, Hobart Brinsmade, a suc- cessful business man and Christian work CT in St Louis, made an excellent and timely address in which, among many good things, he referred to the great in fluences New England had exerted over the great West. Those present no doubt felt that the West could also send back to us good influences. Trumbull is glad to own such sons.

 A notable figure has passed away in the death of Orange Judd, the famous agricultural writer and editor. He was 70 years old and had lead busy, useful life. His career was remarkable in many respects. He was born at Niagara Falls, N. l., and graduated at Wesleyan university in Middletown, Ct, in lS47. He taught school till 1850, and afterward studied chemistry at Yale. In 1853 he became editor of the American Agricul- turist in New I Iork, and in 1856 it's own CT and publisher, through which his name became familiar in the homes of farmers throughout the country. He was also agricultural editor of the New York Times from 1855 to 1863. In 1867 he sent to Europe and imported quan- tity of sorghum seed, which he distribut- ed free, thus starting the sorghum indus try in this country He was the main member of the firm of Orange Judd & Co.,, which published agricultural and scientific works, and Hearth and Home. In 1863 he served with the sanitary com mission at Gettysburg, and then with the army of the Potomac from the Rap:- dan to Petersburg. He became interest ed In railroads after the war and in con- nection with Conrad Poppenhusen he projected the network of roads now cov- ering Long Island. Mir Judds financial troubles began in 1870, when he gave SlOO,OOO for the Orange Judd hall of natural science at Wesleyan university and contributed largely to the building of churches and Sunday-schoOls and to other philanthopic enterprises. He was at that time largely engaged in real estate operations and railaoad enter prises. Heavy depreciation of his real estate crippled him and he went into var ious business enterprises with the hope of realizing enough to meet obligations incurred by lavish giving in prosperous time, but in some of them he lost heavily. In 1884 Mir Judd established the Orange Judd Farmer company in Chicago, of which he was editor at the time of his death. The Springfield Republican says in speaking of him, "The wide range of his activities is further shown in the fact that he invented the percent age crop reporting system and was the originator of the international Sunday school lesson system.''
