Pastor Snow preached strong mis-
sionary sermon Sunday from the words,
"Go ye out into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and Is baptized shall be saved !;
he that believeth not shall be damned"
Three reasons why this command of our
Lord should be obeyed 1t was His last
request. The teeming millions of heath
en- will perish without the gospel. This
work enhances the prosperity and secures
the perpetuity of the churches at home.
We have at hand, through the kindness
OF friend, an interesting old-time pam
'kphlet: "Orations, poem, addresses, etc.
tdelivered at the reunion of the former
kpupils of Rev. G. s. Adams, Westford,
Conn.,, Aug. 81, 1866" Among other
things of local interest, we notice that
Miss Surviah Parsons of this town, now
Mrs. G. W. Harlow of Worcester, Mass.
presided at the "melodian" and sang
Kitty Clyde" and that Jason E. Twiss OF
wellington and Augusta T. Adams,
daughter of the old teacher and pastor,
were married on that occasion. The re-
fnnion was held In the grove south OF
Westford Hill Congregational meeting
house. This printed memorial of the oc.
casion must be highly priced by those
who are the survivors of the "a pupils.
Rev. Mr.. Adams and his wife died the
same day, some years after the reunion
In Hillsdale, Michigan, aged rs and "a
respectively They were taken with
Ichills at the same time, he dying nine
fhours previous to his wife's death.
The W. C. T. U. "jubilee" at the Bap.
tist meeting house Friday evening, In the
line of music, especially solo, Duet, quar-.
tette singing and accompanying, was the
most recherche affair that the Hill was
lever favored with. Mrs. w. II. Hall
Miss Ida Hall, Miss Jennie Essex, Miss
Georgia Whitford, Rev. Chas. l.. Snow
and j. w. Harrison creditably performed
tUheir parts. Miss Georgia Whitford's
recitation, "Asleep at the SWITCH" was
well received, while Rev. G. L. Shows
"Uncle Moses counting eggs" brought
down the house. Mrs. W. D.. Holman
| the president of the local union, gave g
very interesting address, embodying the
history of the formation of this union
and explaining its work and methods Of
work. She, as we'll as her fellow-work
tally when it is borne In mind that this
union, here In Wilmington, is now the
banner union of the whole state O
Connecticut, having gained the mos
members during the past year. Miss Lens
Whitford's admirable report of the recen
state convention, which has been herein
before mentioned, was read by her. TIL,
good and dainty collation. the ladies servet
their invited guests, in the cosiest O
ways, at small tables in the church par
lor, and In the seats in the audienc,
room, was appreciatively and thankful,
received by all the partakers. All in all
I the occasion was in the best sense in
struotive, wholesome and enjoyable.

dies for the superb entertainment.
The excellent ice-cream was ordere
from former townsman, James Macfal
lane, of Willimantic. His iee-cream ha
a kink about it that other makers don
seem to get hold of.
Senator Hall was busy In the kitche
ladling out the ice-cream to the lady Wis
itors, who often came back to him beal
ing the Oliver Twist cry of the partakin
crowd.
