deavOr union has ever held met at New

ton song by one tiny girl, and another
song descriptive of Palestine. by four of
the children, while the other drew the
map of the country as the places were
mentioned. The half hour closed with
an address to the children by VIM. Hun
ter of West Cornwall.
Much missionary zeal was awakened
by the presentation of a beautiful new
banner to the society that had made the
largest proportionate gifts TO missions
since the las convention. The banner
was awarded to the Addison society, the
next to the smallest in the union.
At the business meeting the following
oilIcers were elected: President. Dea
X. II. Holmes Of ShoI cham; vice-presi
dent. Rev. W. \. kinzie of Bristol; sec
retary. Miss NJ. r. Willmarth of Adds
on; treasurer. Mrs. T.. II. Landon OF
