\ high day in Zion was last Sab
! bath at the Congregational church in
this place. First, after the devotional
services came an earnest address by
Mr.. Norton, the pastor, upon 1.-The
Church, or The Churches, :" setting
them forth as God appointed; and so,
in their normal working, according to
the best practical wisdom, subscribing
the highest welfare of mankind. Fol-
| lowing this address came bapistm
and the reception of members, two by
letter, and three upon profession OF
their faith, all adults. Then came the
sacrament of the Lords Supper. In
each of these services the pastor was
assisted by his wife. Rev. Mary +.
Norton, who baptised one and admin
istered the wine. On the whole the
service was judged a unique and most
impressive one. 1t will not soon be
forgotten.
Judge Carroll, native of Vermont
who has resided some twenty years il
Wyoming, has been living the past
year in Newfane He has just turned
his face westward and the past week
has gone on his way towards his |
adopted state of Wyoming. Before
leaving us the friends of woman $
suffrage invited him to give us lee
ture on this subject, with special ref |
erence to what he had seen of its prac-
teal working in Wyoming, where it
has been on trial for many years. The
lecture came off in the town hall last
week Thursday evening 1t was an
able and entertaining lecture, as
might have been expected When
sensible man speaks upon a subject,
with which he has made himself ia
miliar. his hearers are not likely to
fail of being interested. So it was
with the people of Newfane, while lis
tening to Judge Carroll's glowing ac-
count of the happy results, from won
ans suffrage, as he had witnessed
them for several years. Nor did he
ask us to accept his words alone. He
gave the sober judgment of many 9TH
ers who had witnessed its good results,
governors, judges, lawyers, Legislators
and various other leading citizens of
the state who had given their unstint- ,
ed praise in its favor.
