The event oflast week was the meeting
of the Essex and Coos Annual Conference
which met in the Congregational Church,
June and 6, the programme of which
appeared i'll the HERALD two weeks ago.
The committee had prepared a strong
programme, which WAS carried out al
most to the letter, and the speakers all
gave evidence of careful preparation. 1t
is not often that at our local conference
we have so many from n distance, but
this year we had Secretaries F. L. Marsh
and g. II. Gutterson, and Superintend-
ents C. H. Merrill and A. T. Hillman, and
the comment was that they outdid them
selves. Forty-two delegates and visiting
members were present, every church but
one being represented. Rev. d. L. Land
remained over to preach for us Wednes-
day evening and the crowded house was
well repaid for coming, for the sermon
was one of rare cleverness and power, the
subject being THE Leaven of the Cos
pei" The Oldest member of the confer
ence made the remark that it was the
strongest programme and the best con-
ference that he had attended for the last
twenty years, and that seemed to be the
thought of everyone.

Every reader of this paper will be IN
terested in the announcement OF Paine S
Furniture Co., that they will prepay
freight on all purchases to any part OF
New England during the next three
months. Residents of this section can
now purchase furniture from this great
Boston house on exactly the same terms
as if they had store within FIVE minutes
walk of this office. An immense saving
can be made in price, beside the advan-
tage of securing the latest styles and the
freshest goods. Another important adj
vantage which must not be overlooked is
the fact that one is enabled to have fur
niture entirely different from that OF any
other house i'll this section. 1t is by
such enterprising methods as this that
the Paine establishment has been built up
to be the largest furniture house in the
United States.
