CoEGREGATIoNAL CHURCH NOTES.

At the first meeting of the pastors class for instruction with view to church membership, Wednesday afternoon, IA of the young people of the church were present and manifested a close in- terest in the subjects brought forward. The point emphasized was that the Christian faith is deeply personal in it's character and clusters about q majestic person and the great truths connected with His life and work, rather than is en- forced adherence to an elaborate system of belief which appears only to the mind The first grand keystone of Christian faith Is belief in personal God. This is inferred, outside the clear revelation of the Bible, from the fact of creation, which implies creator, as the here i'm. plies there, the after before, the low. .er an upper. Creation is filled with the evidence of thought, showing tbere must have been thinker. The DelleI III per sonal God brings with it our need of him need to satisfy the feelings of love, wor. ship and reverence which he has implant ed within us, need of His help to bear oul trouble. need of Him as the object oi praise and thankfulness in the moments of joy. Next week the subject before ths class will be, .sWhat is the Bible ant what should 1t teach us?

 Last year the large picture charts used for instruction in the primary depart ment of the Sunday school were sent in a missionary box from New Haven to.the hospital at Tongchon, China. The re- quest has been received that the 1893 pie ture charts be now sent to the same hos pitaI. This will be done and the children of the Whisconicr school district in the town of Broollticld, where Miss Ellie Wolcolt is teacher, have generously vot- cd to add the charts which they have fin
 shed using in their school work. Of those given last year it is said: They were most acceptable and were given, ,af
 ter the hospital had finished with them, to native teachers. Any pictures to light up walls dingy with smoke or cards of any kind will be thankfully rccei ved." Will any one who can furnish these pie ture cards, small or large, bring them to the Congregational church next Sunday :?

DEATH OF EDWARD KIR3 BY.

Edward, youngest son of William and Eliza Kirby, residing on Dayton avenue, died at his parents home, February ,, 1891, after an illness of month. The cause of death was general decay of the physical powers. Everything that par Gntal affection could conceive of as tend ing to mitigate the suflerngs of the pa tient, or prolong his life. was provid d, but in vain. Skilled physicians were called in, but without avail, all pronounce ing with the local physicians, the case hopeless. The good priests of St Roses were called in early in the struggle and had prepared the soul, and after the ad- mini>trati0n of the sacraments to the dy- ing Christian, he seemed to take hold of life with renewed determination not to die. But the Lord of the Vineyard will ed otherwise; and at the close the willing his stewardship. Let us trust in the mercy as well as justice of God, that He has dealt with the departed soul in ac- cord with those divine attributes.

ACCIDENT TO 5. c. BULL.

While returning from Woodbury on Monday evening, Druggist $. c. Bull met with a painful accident that must have dampened the enjoyment of the ev- ening's pleasures for him. Mir and Mrs Bull and MT and Mrs Banker drove over together and on the return trip, while passing another team, the sleigh turned over and spilled the whole party, robes, blankets and all, out in the snow. After the party were assisted out of their un- fortunate perdcament, it was found that Mr Bull had broken finger, which he has since been carefully nursing. The horse also got down in the snow, but the only other damage was a few straps of the harness and some bruises on the sl.igh.

AN ENJOYABLE RECEPTION.

The reception given by Miss Jessie Davis dancing class in the Town hall on Friday evening was a decided success. Forty-tfve couples were present and a great many invited guests besides. By those capable of judging,it is said great improvement was shown in the tcrpsi- chorean art since the beginning of her instructions. Miss Davis enjoys the dis tinction of being the only instructor of her art in the town for the past 20 years. Her pupils have been very much inter- ested in their lessons and doubtless have greatly profited by them. Dancing teaches one to be graceful. and while it may not be very remunerative as bye product on the farm, yet it is an agree able acquisition to carry with one when they go to town to visit their city cous- ins. Some look with holy horror on all such amusements, but the young deacon was not far out of the way who said to a too critical elder sister in answer to a ''leading question:" "Well, so long as they are busy with their feet, they are not busy with their tongues''

THE CHILD IN ART.

A beautiful and healthful child is perhaps the most beautiful thing in the world. The child, as type Of innocence and symbol Ot
 love- with all the attributes of happy and
 healthful infancy, with all the tender, holy as
 sOciatiOns Ot maternity and home. touches
 the heart more nearly than all else on earth
 Such an ideal did Perrault conceive and re
 produce in his famous Salon picture for 1891,
 entitled "The Awakenlng," It Is the emDodI-
 ment Ot all that is tender, sweet and beauti-
 tul in babyhOOd; picture that appeals to the
 heart of every man and woman alike. No
 painter from the time Of Albano to the pres
 ent day has more perfectly rendered the in
 ner structure and subtle modelling Of surface,
 the peculiar quality and graceful action of a
 child in perfect health than has Perrault in
 this masterpiece. It is an augury for good
 when such picture as this is shown to our
 people so that they may see what childhood true, healthy, perfect childhood should be. As
 the Greek matrOns gazed earnestly on the
 statues ot their ideal gods, with the hope that their children might embody such beauties, so many modern mothers profit by keeping before them this ideal ot perfect child.
 After it's exhibition at the Salon, this paint ing was purchased by that art loving Ameri- can, Thomas DOliber, senior member Of the Doliber- GoOdale Co. of Boston, better known to the public as the prOprletors Of Melllns Food. At the time of purchasing the picture MT DOliber's sole intention was to place It Tn his private gallery, but American progres- siveness asserted itself and, as a result, Per raults picture sent to the Columbian eX- position to constitute the exhibition ot Mel | lin's Food, instead Ot the customary Jars, pot | ties, labels and p'acards
 In addition to this the picture was repro 1 duced with all the mafVelOuS IlueIlty ana | force that modern skill and knowledge have lent the half-tone, and published simultane-
 ously with the opening of the Exposition in l the Youths Companion ot Boston. Ihls was | without question, one of the most beautiful advertisements that has ever appeared in | any publication in the world. Perfect repro | auctions ot the same picture, on 8 smaller | scale, quickly followed in all the leading mag
 azines, Century publishing a long article des | criptive of the picture and it's author.
 | Such wide publicity soon brought hundreds
 of letters from all parts ot the country, and | even from abroad, requesting copies of the l picture No steps had been taken at that time | to meet this demand, but now the Mcllen'S
 Food company have added the cr9wning & fea I l having the picture printed on heavy plate pa
 per for framing, a copy ot which they offer tc | send absolutely free to any mother sending | them a label taken from a jar ot Mellin's Food l To those who are not now users ot Mellen' { | Food the picture will be sent for six cents II | stamps to cover the cost ot mailing.
