 Members of the local c. A. R. and the w. R. O., who attended the union me- morial services in the Methodist church, Stafford Springs, last Sunday, felt richly repaid in the eloquent and most fitting sermon by the pastor, Rev. J. I. Barthol- omew. We see now why some folks "don't like MT. Bartholomew" It is be- cause he is a fearless preacher of right eousness-in the town, state and nation, as well as in the individual. The old sol diers, at least, would like to see that splendid discourse in print.

We wish it could be read from the palace to the cabin This excellent magazine is only one dol lar year.
