parish and church, we can gather but
meager idea of the great good that has
been wrought by the church in those 175
years Of its life.
For though perhaps not over 1000 pr
sons have been members OF this church,
yet no one can doubt that other thous-
ands have been religioasly Influenced,
more or less directly by the preached
gospel in this place, and through the
churches which have grown up in the
bounds of the parish. For in all the his
tory of the church, it has held and stood
fast by the thoroughly orthodox, and
.cripture expressed creed; and nearly all
OF the pastors, without exception as fer
as know)have honestly endorsed and
faithfully preached the same strongly
stated creed of the church. Then many
Y ung men were here prepared for col.

their spiritual character by contact with
UGH men; it ia claimed that Brother Ely
himself prepared over 100 for Yale.
The old church, though much depleted
~ the removal of many, of her younger
members to the surrounding villages,
and the transplanting OF the older ones
to their heavenly homes, has still life,
vigor, and enthusiasm, for kmuch service
vet; which is needed in this age of pre-
vailing skepticism, indifference and unbe-
l*ef. is needed in this community, which
has changed from Saba tn keeping nd
church going peoples to an indifferent g d
aongchnrch going, by the death and re-
moval of the former, and the coming intf
their place Of those care not for church
privileges. Therefore while holding
fast to, and for the faith once delivered
; the saints, there remains much need
and work for this church yet to d.,
among these non church goers, and es.
pecially for the children of the foreigners
who are fast buying up these old farms
hough they cannot themselves unGe'
stand our language, but are rearing large
families, who should become Christian,
and respected citizens.
May God therefore richly endow hel

with you to day. Gladly would be pres
emit to bear the message and greeting OF
Crumbull church, but as l cannot. l
hasten to write word of just explana
ton and greeting. There are special
reasons why should do this: We both
nave the same mother, Stratford, and
therefore are indeed sisters Ia the truest
sense. We are about the same age, 1924
and 1870. We have parishes adjoining
each other and families have intermarried
so that our relationship has always been
and still is peculiarly tender. We have
both, in like manner, passed through the
fire at about the same time, and have
had similar struggles in rebuilding wheel
the population Of our country towns and
their material wealth has been on the de-
cline. We have both arisen to the emer.
gency and, we trust, have been faithful
to our sacred trust, and are trying faith
fully to do the work that is given US to
do, no matter how hard the task. We
congratulate you on your 10th anniver,
sary. Yours has been splendid history
and the brave struggle you are making
today is not unworthy of that history.
Our prayer is that God may bless both
pastor and people in the upbuilding Of
the life and influence of the old New Eng

birthplace of much that Ia best in Ameri-

for it. 1t would be real delight TO us
both to be with you on that occasion,
to look in the faces, to grasp the hand
and join In the songs and prayers as of
old. 1t would be satisfaction to re-
call the dead and commemorate:their vi :

A Bushwoman.


From BlackWOOdS Magazine.
Close to the wagon we met BUSH
woman, one of lndowyoka's people re-
duced by starvation to the most emaciat-
ed and pitiable condition. Her husband
had ben killed by lions some days before,
though she herself had escaped with her
life. On her back and shoulders We're
the marks where the same lion had
ripped away great strips of flesh. Long
clots of blood had dried on her body; the
wounds had rot even been washed.
gave her some meat, which she seized
upon and at once ate raVenOusly. The
bones We're almost through her filthy sin *
her little beady eyes set close together
under a low, retrcating forehead, ner
fiattencd nose and large protruding lips
concealing what little chin she possessed,
gave her Il look most uncanny ana re-
pellant.
Altogether more like an animal than a
human being, she seemed to me the low
cts type of womankind that il has ever
been my fate to look on. There are num-
hers Of bushmen and their wives who
live in this miserable condition, wander
ing through the Veldt with no other
means OF subsistence than such trash as
wild roots and berries Some of the men
have guns and ammunition, and they
send their whole time i'm shooting. When
they kill a buck within reach of water
say ten miles--the whole family congre-
gates on the spot sits round the body,
and goTges itself until every scrap Of
flesh and skin has disappeared.

TERRAPIN AND THEIR HABITS
Fed on Shrimp and Crabs Before
Being Sent to Market.

Chesapeake bay terrapin are becom-
ing extinct. This is the verdict of p.
NJ. Strong, manager of the celebrated
Beaulieu terrapin farm. near Beaulieu,
Ga, where more Of the crawlers are
raised than at any other place in the
country. Mr.. Strong says:
Every year it grows harder to get
terrapin and prices increase. A dozen
fine eight-inch Chesapeake bay kind, if
they could be got, am told. would sell
for 5000 This shows how rare this
species has become. Our black stock
are fast reaching this point, though
we certainly hope to postpone the ul
innate extinction for many day yet.
Our terrapin crawls' at Beaulieu
produce more terrapin probably than
any other crawl in the country, think,
by the way, that there is but one other,
and that is on the eastern shore. near
Crisfield. Our crawls are right on the
river The larger is 80 by 60 feet, and
is divided into three compartments for
three sizes. The smaller crawl is for the
baby terrapin, and is 100 by 8 feet.
Through both CraWls there is a trunk
or ditch running, connected with the
river, making q circuit of the farm and
returning to the river again. The bot
tom of the crawls is on a level with the
low tide, and is covered with a layer
of mud about six inches deep. Into this
the terrapin burrow in winter and re-
main the best part of the time. Flood
gates are at the opening of both crawls
so we can let the water in or out at
will. Our average population of terrapin
is about 10000 one-half bulls and the
other half heifers.
THE feeding of the terrapin Is a
puzzling thing. / have not yet found
whether it is necessary for a terrapin
to eat all. Once | made an experiment
and put number of terrapin in
separate crawl. kept them there for a
year and gave them absolutely nothing
to eat. At the end of that time / took
them out and found that many of them
We're in just as good condition as those
had been feeding all the year. How
ever, we feed them. We give them eX-
cluslvely shrimp and crabs to eat.
They will take most anything you give
them, but these two things, / have
found, improve the flavor immensely.
Our 10000, | should say. on an average
consume twenty bushels of shrimp and
crab a day. If you stop feeding them 1t
does not seem to worry them at all
as they appear to pick up more nour-
ishment from the mud than anything
else. We have an army Of shrimp for
use, and all along the river there are
lines out daily.
THE terrapin is a hardy beast. l
