/ Oct. 16, 1898. The Temple Repair
ed. 2 Chron. "a: 4-13. Read King
II and 12. Golden Text-"And the
| men did the work faithfully"
| Chron. 81: 10
The Temple had been broken up by
Athaliah, the mother of king Ahaziah
who did evil In the sight of the Lord,
for his mother was his counsellor to do
wIckedly. And when Ahaziah had
been put to death by the Lord for doing
wickedly, his mother destroyed all the
seed royal, but one son, Joash, then a
year old, who was hid from her in the
house Of God, six years. And when he
was seven years old Jehoiada, the priest
made him king, and put his grand
mother to death.
Then Joash repaired the Temple, and
the ransom for the soul, according to
the command of Noses" amounting to
27 cents, was asked from each person
in this way: Jehoiada took chest,
and bored hole in the lid, and set it
beside the altar, and all the offerings
were put in it, with rejoicing. And
they kept no account with the men who
handled the money. for th ey dealt faith
fully, and hired masons and carpenters
and workers in iron and brass, and
bought vessels of gold and silver for
the Temple.
And Joash did that which was right
in the sight Of the Lord all the days Of
Je. hoiada the priest for forty years; but
when the priest died. Joash listened to
wicked counsellors and followed idols.
Then The Lord by His prophet said to
Jsash, "Why transgress ye the COM
mandments of the Lord, that ye cannot
prosper? because ye have forsaken the
Lord, He also hath forsaken you." But
they stoned the prophet to death.
And the Lord sent small army of
the Syrians, and delivered very great
host of the army of Joash into their
hand, because they had forsaken the
Lord God Of their fathers. And his
own servants killed Joash in his bed,
and he was not buried in the sepulchres
of the kings.
God has power to help and to destroy.
Nothing is too hard for Him.
Earthly royalty without obedience is
nothing to Him, shut as many as re-
ceiyed Him, to them gave He power to
become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on His name.: Thus, by
believing that Jesus is the Christ, His
Word declares that we are royal born,
and shall never die, and shall not come
into judgment, because we have passed
from death unto life. The royal pro-
clamation of the King Of kings, to us
who believe on Him, is this, 81 give
unto them eternal life: and they shall
never PERISH" "Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all the days Of
my life: and / will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever"

Opening Days at Mrs. Hadley's.

One OF the most attractive places in
town these days is the store Of Mrs. l..
Gates Hadley on Westminster street,
where is displayed choice and elegant
line OF spring millinery.
1t is needless to say that the snow storm
of Tuesday had no appreciabls effect on
the attendance of the first opening day
tor it is well known fact that display Of
new millinery is one thing that never has
to be postponed on account OF the weather.
In this instance the exhibit of spring nov
elites more than repaired one for facing
the storm.
The favorite colors this season seem to
be cerise, turquoise and imperial blue and
the shades of yellow, from the deep orange
to the lightest tint In trimming the
shirred effect is noticeable and the use of
black net and lace over colors.
The cerise scheme was brought out in
a handsome hat of fancy straw deliberately
trimmed with cerise chiffon and ribbon in
two shades of the same color.
A turquoise blue creation, one of the
seasons patterns, showed colors blending
from blue to green and had trimmings Of
black and white.
A very pretty black hat was OF fancy
straw with jet band over white satir
about the crown, full ruches of BLACK
and white lace and black plumes.
A dainty acrue straw had black net over
white around the crown and was trimmed
toward the front with wings and aigrettes
with punches of white violets at the
back.
Mrs. Hadley's entire display is distin
guished by a certain artistic touch tha
gives that indefnable quality of correc
style.

Tenth Annual Opening.

An inspection of j. j. Fenton & Co.'s
opening of spring goods conclusively es-
tablishes the fact that the firm is prepared
to clothe the people Of this section in
everything but their right minds, the GUS
toners possession of sound equipment of
that kind being evinced by their patron
age.
For the past ten years Mr.. Fenton has
been in business in Bellows Falls and in
that time by his correct taste and good
judgment in all that pertains to mems at
tire has built up an enviable reputation for
his store, which is generally conceded to
be an establishment where the latest and
best styles are always to be found.
The interior of the store has lately been
thoroughly repaired and presents a very at
tracive appearance, which is enhanced by
the tasteful display of the goods made by
Frank I. Diggins. In the windows are
seen potted palms, handsome suits and
overc oats, mems furnishings, shirts, hats,
| gloves, and natty suits for boys with pock-
cts enough to accommodate all the fish
hooks, old nails and other collateral the
average youngster finds it necessary to
carry around.
In neckwear a wide range Of choice is
offered, for not only are all styles repre-.
scented but all colors as well, from the most
delicate tints to the deepest shades, in
stripes, plaids and broken effects From
review of this line OF goods it would seem
as though that portion of the race denied
the Joy of an Easter bonnet ought to be
able to find at least good measure of sat.
isfaction in new neckte. Still hats, and
handsome ones at that, are to be seen II
plenty.
In fact, tall or short, thick or thin, Mr.
Fenton challenges all corners and stands
ready to give them particular fits at the
shortest notice.

Only the members of the brides family

The bride wore very pretty travelling

Immediately after the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Belknap left for trip south, taking
their departure in an unexpected and
rather severe April shower in the shape of
rice. They will spend couple of weeks

celery compound has observed how soon it
regulates the bowels and clears the whites
of the eyes Of that yellow jaundiced look.
Another witness Of its invigorating capac-
ity ha' may escape the notice Of persons
not accustomed to ordinarily employing
this test is its effects on the pulse Observe
the firm, regular, full pulse that was before
uncertain, tlutterlng and feeble.
The great susceptibility of woman to
worry is heightened by the fat that she
leads more confined, monotonous life,
narrowed down to the four walls of home
the greater part of the day. Paine's celery
compound is just what such nervous, de-
pressed persons need to restore their
nerves to energy and to lift them out Of
their constipated, dyspeptc habit of body.
Paine's celery compound counteracts the
exhausting strain of work by its strong in
ducement to the delicate tissues to take
more food. II plainly induces the nerves
and brain to feed themselves more liberal
ly, and has thus saved countless men and
women from chronic neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, sleeplessness and failing mental
power.
No remedy has been discovered so rich
in fi-sh-forming and energy-producing con-
stituents as Paine's celery compound.

of dotted lavendar net, striped ribbon,
white flowers and lavendar wings.
An especially handsome hat is of brown
straw faced with white chiffon, with beau
