tional church. It was Dr Hurlburt vht ] told the beautiful story of a sailor who
 one day came into the reading room of .
 club house or home for seafaring men as
 Montreal. It was the noon hour and the
 room was vacant except for the matron,
 who noticed that the man, rough in ap-
 pearance, came in with half hesitatinR
 and defiant expression upon his face and
 walked to the farther side of the room
 where hung 8 picture of the face of
 Christ. He stopped before it and began
 gazing upon those matchless features.
 Presently she noticed he had quietly taken off his hat. Still he stood there and then she saw that with his hard and roughened hand he was brushing away the tears. A long time he stood and looked upon the face of the Christ. At last he turned and coming to her he said, with such different look upon his face, II came in here to fulfill promise, be- iieving there was no Christ, that it was all hoax, no one believed in Him, but the man who painted that picture believ- ed in Him, and I do now,n and he went out different man.
 The principal address of Wednesday evening was on "Temperance,, by Rev ID. N. Beach of Cambridge, Mass, city Of over S0,0O0 inhabitants ,and no saloons since 1887. Itwas rousing temperance lecture and held the closest attention from beginning to end. It was too good to be reported, it must be heard to be ap- preciated.
 Thursday morning, Rev MT Carle gave a lecture on the life of Christ illustrated with map and chart. The lecture was full of helpful thoughts and the chart great help in giving a clear idea of where and how the life of Christ was spent. Thursday afternoon, Rev c. G. Bristol, an Episcopal clergyman of Hartford, read a paper on .srhe superintendent of the 2Oth century," He said the ideal superintendent should be man of busi- ness ability, man of strict morality with growing knowledge of the Scrip lures and he should be man of prayer. In illustrating the last point he told an Incident in the life of Henry Ward Beeeher. He was one day calling upon member of his church who had been an invalid for years and she said to him that she wished to have her name taken from the church roll because there was nothing she could do to be of any ser- vice. "Only" she said, ssI have lived on 1nis street p years and every morning at 5 o'clock I begin to pray for each family. know rnem all and SO often know what the needs of each one is, it is often noon before I get down one side of the street." ''Stop," said Mir Beecher, "You are the most useful member in nv church."
 Rev II. F. McEwen of New York made the closing address, speaking of Christ like character as the greatest fac tor in evangelistic work. Christ's life, he said was grander than any word he ever uttered. At the close of his ad- dress few earnest words of farewell were spoken by the pastor of the church ln which the convention was held, an earnest prayer offered and once more we separated to our various fields, each feel irg, am sure, that it had been good to be there.

A CARD FROM A. c. BAKER.

Our furniture business in Hawleyville is now so well known far and near that we feel that we may safely for time at least cut down our advertising expenses. An "ad' We are too busy to do it, besides we heard 8 man say the other day that that furniture man at Hawleyville who advertises so much must be fool (queer what big game one runs on to sometimes when he goes out with out gum. Another more charitable friend remarked to us confidentially in arf of hand way that writing "ads' out of business hours Is liable to lead to sOftening ot the brain, mind you he didn't say we had got it. and he looked away over into the next county when hint if It is a blind one. It would be perfect ly awful if we should really get it (this soften ing disease we mean) and have it get real deeply seated before we kn 5w it or before we had time to vaccinate so we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col would otherwise go into the coffers of these grasping newspaper monopolists, eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to business l. e., selling furniture at Hawleyville.
 Now for Heavens sake don't tell every body what you think, just remember how sensitive we are to adverse criticism and tell then that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for a while, don't tell them we are tired or waiting for anything to harden, be compassionate, be just, be con- siderate. be charitable, be liberal minded one with another and last of all RE SURE AND COME TO HAWLEYVILLE before you buy your furniture.

OUR SUNDAY DINNER.
A PAPER READ BEFORE PoHTATUCK
 GRANGE BY MRS A. W. FAIRcHILD.

GRANGE BY MRS A. W. FAIRCHILD.
 One old lady was wont to remark to her guests at dinner, "Good bread is the secret of good family discipline, s explain ing it this way: ''Sour bread, sour stomach, sour temper; finis, divorce court" So in a certain sense as is our Sunday dinner so will it make of our sons and husbands either better or worse citizens, good or bad Changers. There are two points in mind as to the Sunday dinner. First, have it the best meal of the week. Second, do not make it too elaborate. Those two sentences do not at first thought agree so will explain.
 Of course the time and.quantity, and in certain sense quality, depends on cir cumstances. But let the Sunday dinner be seasoned through and through with good cheer. That needn't mean hilarity exactly. nor discussing our neighbours new bonnet. On Sunday the hay doesn't need to be carted, neither will the turnips need pulling, so the good man of the house has time to enjoy his dinner to it's fullest extent. My husband has favorite dishes. Remember the adage old but true, 1.-The way to a mans heart is through his stomach" Let our Sur- day dinner be pleasing in two ways: Have something pleasant to talk about. Don't be too elaborate. Do not work all Saturday as for feast, waking Sunday morning with sick headache. Neither cheat our bodies of the Sunday rest. The favorite dish may be easily prepared {; many delicious ones are; loaf of brown bread is quickly stirred and will add to the dish of beans Drowned to a turn. Almost every one likes cold chicken or cold roast beef and good gravy may be quickly heated. What man in New Eng land would refuse piece. Our potatoes may be baked and are both good and digestible. We can bring up jar of sweet pickles, always an addition to any dinner. We can vary our menu if we will thousand times, using our wits ,our common sense.
 If we cook too richly our guests at Sunday dinner may be like the man after Thanksgiving. "He thought he'd die on the way home." Not to kill but to i'll. No rich pastry mixed with heavy bread and cake, but plenty of old fashioned goodies. So we may get the most bene- fit from our Sunday dinner.

RECONSIDERATION.

Before you came, Boy Brownie,

A little blue-cyed lad like you
Was playing on the floor.
But he was little younger,
a score of months or so,
And when he passed AWAY at night
searched for him, you know
l hunted for my darling
All through the crowded street,
Zen in tho hospitals i looked
TO find his image sweet.
Each day l drew some baby
Upon my Bonded knee
And often bathed beggarchild
To ease my misery.
Then you appeared, Boy Brownie,
The home was filed with light;
