liam Schofeld and Rev. j. j. Goodacre of
Berlin. Mr.. Hazen's excellent remarks
were based on the text, Even so, Father;
for so it seemeth good in thy sight, The
sad and tender services of the hour were
closed with the baptism, beside the open
casket, OF the son born two days before, to
whom was given the name Porter Gale. At
the age of little more than thirty-three
years, the body of Mrs. Perrin was laid to
rest in our village cemetery, her short life a
long one, having 80 nobly answered life's
| great end"
Our community was exceedingly shocked
and saddened, on Friday morning last. by
the news that Mrs. Laura Gale, wife of Rev.
j. n. Perrin, Jr. had died about eight
o'clock the evening before. On the morn
ing previous Thursday she had given
birth to son and her many friends were
cheered by the report though it proved
not well grounded - throughout the day,
that "she was doing we'll" Only few
moments before she died, heart failure be-
came apparent, and her life went out
quickly Mrs. Perrin, who was a daughter
OF Deacon 8. Gale Of Plainfeld, came here
some three and one-half years ago, and, in

self to all in the parish and, in fact none
knew her but to love and praise She
was power in the work Of the church,
and, II one thing more than anotherscould
be called her forte" 1t would seem to be
work with, and for, the young. We cannot
recall when the parsonage of the Congre-
gational church was ever made every way
more attractive place than since Mrs. Per-
rim came to it, As her life was benedic-
ton to the place, so will the memory of it
ever be. In late years she has suffered
much from ill health aud at times has been
very weary, physically, under lifes burdens;
but we know not that ever parishioner met
her when her face could not Ii yht up with
smile, even though it were through her tears.
The loss to her husband, family friends, TO
the church, and to the world, seems irrep-
arabic; but, not alone to herself we must
believe, in a way unknown to us now, a
far greater gain is yet to be made to offset
it all. She was buried from the parsonage
on Saturday afternoon.
