ORE HILL

Ore Hill Sunday school for several ner school in this part of the country. A beautiful banner has been offered by the Litchfield Northw west Sunday School Union to the Sunday school that makes the best record for the year ending May 1st. A nice bible was offered by the supt., E. F. Sanford, to the one who would bring in the largest number of new members, including Home Depart ment members. Jan. l, 1897, l04 were reported. Miss Carrie A. Gibbs, supt, of the Home Department, and Miss Minnie Bartle, primary teacher and sec'y. of the Y. P. s. O. E. were the principal contestants. May 2nd the f. nal report was made with the following result: Miss Carrie A Gibbs. 422 mem- bers; Miss Minnie Bartle. 362; Miss Jes- sic Warner, 23; E. F. Sanford, 13. Total, 820 members. When distribu- ting the second quarters supplies about 50 members were lost by removal and other causes. but more were gained in their stead We anticipated first class work from those engaged in 1t but the result has exceeded onr most sanguine hopes, and when considered in propor- ton to the size of the home school we think it Is hard to beat But perhaps the best part of it is that while scatter ing the good seed of the word they have brought sunshine into many homes. The prizes awarded to these faithful workers are but small part of the re- ward of we'll doing. as they have learn- | ed by experience. Their plan of work has been to SOW beside all waters, that the word is for every body, so in many cases whole families unite in studying the word of life. A very interesting class is about I50 children who are studying scripture catechism for in- fant scholars under the direction of their parents. We are more than ever before convinced that every Church should have it's Home Department Sum- day school. It pays.
 l The LitchHeld Northwest Sunday School Union will hold its annual meet ing at Goshen, June 9. An excellent program has been arranged.

A Question.

The publisher of newspaper has one thing to sell and one thing to rent. He has the newspaper to sell and the space in his columns to rent. Can anyone in- form us why he should be expected 10 give away either the one or the otherf He can if he so chooses, and he does, as a matter of fact, furnish great deal of space rent free. But it does not follow that he ought to be expected to do so. It ought to be recognized as contribu- tion. exactly as would be the giving away of sugar or coffee by a grocer. But, strange to say. it is not looked upon in that light at all, yet everybody knows that the existence of newspaper1 de- pends upon the rent of it's space and the sale of the paper. as merchants suc- cess depends on selling his goods in stead of giving them away.-Copy Hook.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Senate passed Tn concurrence by a vote of IT to 6 the resolution granting to Nelson NJ. Beach, of Bridgeport, an absolute divorce from his wife on the ground of incurable insanity. Sena- tor Warner made 8 strong and eloquent argument against the resolution, main taining that it was not absolutely cer tain that Mrs Beach would not recover her reason.

The couple have two children. Mir Beach has agreed to make ample provision for the support of his wife.
