Rev o. W. Barker and Henry M. Smith,

tary, braved the fearful blow of last Sun
day afternoon to reach the session Of the
Taunton Sunday school, held in the
schoolhouse of the district. They felt
that their efforts were we'll rewarded
when they found an attendance of ID,
despite the fury of the elements. This
number plainly shows that the Sunday
school has taken hold, firm hold, and
has come to stay. Now let others come
in and help the good work along. No
aim Ia cherished by the leaders except to
reach those in the district who are him
dered, by one reason or another, from
getting to church and Sunday school
elsewhere, and to reach them for Christ.
