POWNAL.
Pownal, October 21.-The harvest exer-
nises held at the Congregational church
here on Sunday were not only app'opri-
ate to the occasion but most intertstir g
was we'll There was good attendance
in the afternoon considering tbs un-
pleasant condition of this weather. In
the afternoon the ser vice was deyded to
music and recitation by the younger
members of the Sabbath school, assisted
by several of the older ones. The music
of tho programme selected for the day
was most admirably rendered b! our
choir, and the opening solo by Mrs.
Henry Loring was not only beautiful of
itself, hut SO charmingly comprised that
as the rich tones of her voice died away
in the closing notes 1t seemed almot i'm
posi- BILE to believe such gift of song
could be other than divine. The exeoises
of the evening were continuation of
the afternoon, but confined to readings
by three young ladies and an address by
our pastor; also music. The decorations
of the church, although not, perhaps as
elaborate as some previous efforts, were
neat and tasteful, and showed what
willing hands could do with the bolnte-
Gus products of the season. Great credit
belongs to our pastor and Miss Josephine
Ho1sdon for this most fitting service
carried out in such On effective and
pleasing manner.
