MEMORIAL SERVICE; REMARKS THEREON.
There was union service i'll the Meth
odst church last Sunday evening under
the auspices of the local w. c. L. L. The
church WAS well filled, and the services
were OF an unusually interesting char
acter.
Rev. Mr. Piper presided and read the
crlptures. An address on temperance
made by j. b. Mason, and one by
Merle Tracy upon Neal Dows life as
moral influence. A paper OF exceptional
interest WAS read by Mrs. John Gliey
upon the life and character OF Miss VIII
lard. George L. Fuller made an address
upon Neal Dow's brave work in his native
city. A duet by Mrs. LAYTON and Mr..
Higgins was finely sung. Members Of the
union read selections on Miss Wizards
work.
A. already stated, it WIS an exceptionally
Interesting service, but too long for the
auaienee-or rather part of he audi
ence. They went home. The service be-
gan at 30 continued TIL $50. Not very
long rs compared with two days OF town
meeting; no longer than a social dance
which ends at / 80 III the morning; not
longer than many windy eonfab around
the stove OF the grocery store, kept up
five hours on the stretch; not longer than
the time daily consumed III CAD about
gossip by many of our dear sisters; but
II was too long for memorial service
over greht man and noble woman, or
for a temperance service, or for anything
else under high heaven intended for the
intellectual and moral uplifting OF
community. Such services should he
short shorter, shortest, and II the devil
had his way all the audience would leave.
But the majority remained. They may
have wished some parts had been briefer,
but the good was there and they had the
sense and good taste to stay and try to
get it.
