| he gave in extremely good English and
with considerable force the story of his
conversion eight years ago. He re-
counted how he went to a mission school
to learn the language and was i'm
pressed by the fact that Christians led
better lives than the followers of Con-
fucius; that the religion of the latter
taught man how to do right, but that
the Christian religion did that and more
helped a man to do right, and he
thanked God every day that he was a
Christian.
Following Fong Fou's interesting g
story came the long and arduous task
of raising a collection. During the pro-
cess several people left the church, for
it was o'clock and neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Keppel had begun to say their good
byes. However, after the tambourines
had been assiduously passed around and
pencils provided to such as had left their
purses at home to write their prom
ises' of money, Mrs. Keppel at last
commenced to speak
Colonel Keppel followed his wife, and
l'both spoke Of the sadness they felt in
leaving their work and their comrades.
Both entreated the young and the old
to appeal to God for His help in turning
away from sin; both urged young and
old to accept Jesus Christ as their sa-
vior; both related stories of cases that
had come under their notice to point
their moral and adorn their tale, and
both exhorted their hearers to realize
that they were accountable beings; to
cease doing wrong and to battle on and
persevere in doing right.
The addresses were punctuated all
through with the fervent "Amens!"
and BLESS the Lordsi" that are marks
of APPROVAL and interest on the part of
Salvation Army ordinances, and the last
meeting of the day came to a close
with a hymn which was sung by all.
The Keppels speak in Santa Ana today,
and then go north to hold series of
farewell meetings in and about San
Francisco; after which they start. about
the middle of next month, for their new

THUNDERSTORM,
Mrs. ~. W. Blood.

Mrs. Laurnda o. Bragg, wife of Dens-
more w. Blood, died very suddenly on the
morning of May 4, of heart disease, aggra-
waited by an attack of the strip. Her health
has not been good for several years, yet
she was able to manage her household
affairs well. She was much loved by her
family and friends, was woman of good
judgment and business capacity and was
greatly interested in the farm work of her
husband and the two youngest sons, Rob
ert and Ransom, employed on the premises
in the cultivation of the land and raising
cattle and horses. Her daughter, Mrs.
Jennie Fisher, lives near the parental
homestead. Henry, the eldest son, is mar
ried, has family of four sons and lives on
the farm adjoining that of his father
Edgar, also is married and lives in Putney
to which place he removed from Brattle-
boro, where he was engaged in the livery
business.
Mrs. Blood was born July 8, 1888, and
was 5S years old at the time of her death
She was married to Mr.. Blood Feb. /, 1868,
and they resided in Putney the first three
years of their married life. In 1866 they
removed to Dummerston and have been
residents of this town 80 years. Besides
her husband, four sons and daughter
Mrs. Blood leaves two brothers, Henry
Bragg of this town and Orison Bragg of
Putney, to mourn her loss. The funeral
was held at the house Thursday, the offici-
ating clergyman being Rev. Mr. Mitchell
of Putney. The singing was by Leavitt
L. Stark of Dummerston. The burial was
in Putney.
