1 THE RALLY" MEETINGS TO GOO ON.
 At the "rally" prayer meeting held on Friday evening of last week it was voted by all means to continue them | for another year. Though not ac- complaining all results that might be hoped for, they have made a long step in the right direction, an average at tendance of perhaps 30 through the year being quite above the usual pray CT meeting held in the country church. Mrs Arthur J. Smith, Miss Minnie R.. Thicket and Miss Kate B. Reynolds were appointed a committee to arrange the list of topics and leaders for 1902. | The suggestions made by Rev Frank | Russell in his Sunday evening address of November IT, as to how the effec- tivenesS of church could be increased by careful, kind, systematic visitation by others than the pastor were put in- to working by the appointment of a committee to arrange for two visitors for each month of the year. Thus when children are long absent from the Sunday school, it will be as- certained why they were away and an endeavor made to keep the ranks con- stantly full.
 Fifteen were present at the Chris tian Endeavor meeting on Sunday even- ing, notwithstanding the great down. pour Among the things the members found to thank God for were: health, a Christian home and training, an un- broken family circle, complete har- mony in church work and life. The officers appointed the following as chairmen of the various committees l for the ensuing six month: Lookout, Miss Fife L. Wolcott; prayer meeting, Rev Otis w. Barker; missionary, Carle- ton Hubbell; social, Miss Mabel L.. Taylor; Sunday school, Miss Susie J. | Scudder. These are to meetwith Miss Julia B. Duncombe, tomorrow (Satur day) evening at 7.3O o'clock to select the various members of the commit | tees.
 A sociable is to be held on Wednes- day evening or next week, December I, at the home of l.. c. Morris. Music, readings and games are to be provided; and not the least pleasant feature of all will be the inspection'of MT Norris attractive new home.
 Next Sunday evening is the Conse- cration meeting in the Christian En- deavor society. Topic, "Children of God," Rom. 8: 14-17. Leader, Harley Peck. Some hints on the subject: | Who are the children of God? What is to be their home? What is their | family name? What has been be- queathed to them? Are they adopted children?

Monday evening, Fredrick Tripp,
 under the guidance of Patrick Keat- ing, Thomas O'Connell, Charles Bris- COG and John P. Lynch, took the first degree of initiation into the mysteries of the Clay Valley Coon and Fox club.
 After marching him through swamps, across brooks, over stone walls and barbed wire fences for about 15 garlic miles, the dogs were let loose and soon
 they treed an enormous coon in the region of High Rock. After inducing his coonship to descend from his lofty perch by sending the aforesaid candi- date up in the tree to shake him off, he was told that as a candidate it was part of the first degree to climb the tree, and after shaking Mir Coon to terra tirma so that the dogs could dis patch him, he would also have the privilege of carrying the prize home, the distance being about 10 miles. The coon when dressed weighed 2S pounds. It was easy enough to carry at first but as he was carried mile after mile through the brush and rocks Fred commenced to think the coon weighed about ton. Add to this the fact that when few miles from home and civilization the hopeful candidate was informed that there was still two more degrees to take and that this, the first one, was mild indeed in cOmpari- ! 1, | Inc cnanpl nrI rG NIr rNri n thought that he did not care to join unless he could compromise in some way.
