the choir and school under the direction
OF Mrs. Wheelwright, organist of the
church, was inspiring and the pupils
who gave recitstions reflected grea; creoit
on the superintendent OF the Sunday
kchuol, &, orge T.. Baker, and his earnest
corps OF assistants. The pastor, Rev. Mr..
Ricn, in his brief add ress ssid some well
deserved words OF praise on the successful
efforts of the pupils, and congratulated
the officers of the Sunday School on its
present prosperous condition. The deco
rstiops OF the platform were unusually
rich and appropriate, and there was a
fine display of harvest products, which

hotter work by him. Mr.. johnson gen.
erously donated bis work to the school
The program was an excellent one and
