Mr.. HORACE w. BAILEY, Newbury,
Dear Strive regret the. necessity
that compels us to postpone the date OF
the Carleton lecture in Newbury, but we
are obliged to do so. There was an errol
in our account of open dates which we
did not discover until too late to rectity
However, we shall have Mr.. Carleton in
your vicinity later in the season, and VIII
give you date on the same terms as this
one was to be, it will cost us nearly twice
as much, but we will see that you have
the opportunity of hearing him. AS soon
as we can give you information on the
subject we Will do so. Regretting our in
ability to serve you at this time we re-
main, yours truly,
GLOBE LYCEUM BUREAU.
Thus endeth the first chapter in the
Will Carleton escapade, as stated last
week, there were three principal parts,
first. The Globe Lyceum Bureau; sec
ond, Will Carleton; third, The Tenney
Library Executive Committee. None
of this business is to be laid at Mr..
Carleton's door. The Tenney Memo
rial Library is grand permanent fix
ture. open for business Wednesdays
and Saturdays, afternoon and evening.
The executive committee are right
sideratiOn the change of date and then
the 'postpOnement," there were a few
days they did not exactly know where
they were at

was observed last Sunday, and an audi
ence filling the body pews in the meet
ing house assembled. The room was
handsomely decorated with flowers
Bryant, veteran preacher formerly
of the New Hampshire conference, as
sisted the pastor, Rev. W. II. White.
Dan Y. Ford, John l.. Laton, AFRO B.
Rogers and H. H. Runnells were in
vited to seats of honor on the plat
form and assisted III the services. To
say that the service was appropriate
and gratifying states the case mildly.
Singing by the choir and instrumental
music was dispensed with, and the
singing of those good, soul inspiring
Methodist hymns, now considered an
tiquated, were heartily rendered by the
congregation. The text was Psalms
XXXvii. %, 81 have been young, and
now am old, yet have | not seen the
righteous fOrSaken, nor his seed beg
ging bread" a more appropriate text
could not have been selected, nor dis
course more appropriately pronounced, |
To conclude the service testimony
meeting was held by the elderly peo-
pie. This service took us back to the |
days of Elder Haynes Bro. Spencer,
E. G.. Stocker Apostle Ford, and Je-
HAL DOwner John Laton said, che
remembered those good old days when
during preaching service in that very
meeting house, brothers and sisters
could be heard to shout amen Praise
God! and Hallelujah! but somehow
this sort of worship seemed to be
choked out and he believed religion
ran in as deep channels in those good
old OutspOken days as in the more fas-
tidious days" and we agree with Uncle
John and write amen. 1t was a pleas
ant sight to W tness, and listen to the
testimony of DR.. Rachel II. Allyn,
who spoke Of an experience in Meth
Odism covering a period of 81 years.
DR.. Allyn was student at Newbury
from 1897 to 40, and is now eighty I
eight years of age. We voice the de-
sire of all who enjoyed Old Folks Day ,
at the NJ. E. church, when we vote it
grand, solemn and impressive ser .
wee, and hope for its frequent occur
renee.
