LOCAL TOPICS OF INTEREST.

l LOCAL TOPICS OF INTEREST. Charles Edmonds has been running a meat wagon, Monday and Friday, through Quaker Hill and Pawling, and Tuesday and Saturday through Sher- man and Stillson Hill. He handles a superior quality of native beef and has been most reasonable in his charges. His friends and patrons hope he will continue in the business permanently.
 Editor A. P. Smith of THE Bee was hospitably entertained at dinner, Sat- urday, by Town Clerk E. P. Briggs. w. E. Butcher has been rushing business at his cider mill. He has al- ready made about 5000 gallons and is still turning it out in five, 10 and 20 barrel lots. There will be a plenty of vinegar in Sherman next year. Alex Campionet, the local expert paint brush artist, was engaged, Sat- urday, in finishing the job of painting the exterior of Hawley's department store. e
 Joseph Etts has been quite poorly Of late and under the care of Dr J. N. Woodruff.
 Charles Mcdonald has put a new roof on the west side of his house. Recce Romaine assisted him with the work.

up over the pulpit he saw a telephone.
 Upon inquiry he found the other end
 was in the sick room of a young lady who had not left her bed for 12 years, only as she had been lifted up by a steel derrick once day. He wished to visit her. He told her his plan and she was delighted and wished to know if she might invite six elderly ladies who were unable to attend church. She said: "1 can hear the singing and the prayer and the other exercises, but when the lesson is begun it IS a con- fused tumble. Now we can enjoy the opening and closing exercises and then the ladies and can have our lesson to- gether."
 The address on primary work by E. P. St John, of Clark University, Worcester, Mass, brought out the necessity of sowing the good seed un- sparingly to children under eight years old. The opportunity to shape char acter comes before that time. A childS brain is nine-tenths as large at eight years as it ever will be. Do not try to do too much memory work. Fill the mind with the significance of the truths. Teach the lessons that are practical and can easily be taken in. You must appeal to the senses. Never a child who did not love flowers. One Sunday afternoon sitting by my moth- CTS side she taught me the verse: "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll not neither do they spin, and yet say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Then she took up one of the blue flag lilies and pointed out to me it's beautiful colors and its wonderful make up, and then she taught me, "Wherefor if God so clothed the grass of the field which to- day is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, o ye of little faith" And to this day l cannot see one of those blue lilies without repeating those verses and thinking of my mothers instruction.

The 23d biennial gathering of the State Sunday School association was held in the First Congregational church, Meriden. The first session be
 gan Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
 The session was opened by Rev B. c. Carpenter of the Trinity Methodist church, Meriden, who conducted the
 devotional service, after some pre-
 liminary business consisting of the ap-
 pointment of nominating and resolu- | tiOn committees. The words of well
 come were given by Mayor George S. Seeley, who said:~.'I thank you for the
 invitation to be present with you. 1
 am glad to meet so many who are in- terested in the work you have in hand.
 There is no branch of church work
 that is so important as the Sunday school. hope the convention will be you the freedom of the city,"
 Rev R. A. Ashworth, pastor of the First Baptist church extended a hearty welcome to the Sunday school
 workers. J. w. Logan, who is grad
 uate of the Bible Normal college and
 a paid superintendent of the First Congregational Sunday school, extend ed words of welcome to the superin- tendents. The principal address of the afternoon was by Marion Law
 renee, general secretary of the Inter-
 national Sunday school convention, and one of the best known and most successful Sunday school workers in America. He spoke of International and State work.
 At 3.3O a resolution was presented to l the convention by Prof H. w. Conn of Wesleyan, chairman of the asSocia-
 tion board of directors, favoring the consolidation of the State Sunday school association, with the Connecti- cut Bible society. w. H. Hall of West
 Hartford spoke in favor of the resolu
 tion, George Carey of Bridgeport led the opposing side. The subject was discussed, pro and con, for nearly an hour. A vote was ordered resulting in a defeat of the resolution by vote of 135 to 8S.
 Tuesday evening there was special music conducted by G. Frank Goodale and assisted by the choirs of the Meri- den churches.
 The superintendents' social and SUD- per held in the parlOrS of the First Baptist church was pleasing and in- structive as well as social time. It was presided over by S. H. Williams, of Glastonbury, the incoming president, and there were toasts by S. P Thrash CT of New Haven, Dr Milton Philips of New Haven, Rev J. H. James of Rockville. At the evening session there were several fve-minute papers on lesson study by different workers.
 Wednesday morning an early song service was held at $50, afterward the report of the Executive committee was heard. The change of Miss liar ret Waldron from missionary depart ment to home department and the lack of necessary funds, has made it impossible to employ more than one worker in the field. Miss May Lord l has been employed, spending much of her time in revisiting old fields, the hands of the work CTS in them and holding the ground gained in former years. Many of the fields have lacked the hearty, active support of the near by churches, thus making the revisits and pastoral work

Proverbs

"When the butter won't come put a penny in the churn," is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why.
 When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul- sion.
 It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it.
 Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs.
 Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be- cause it is SO perfectly adapted to their wants.
 For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment.
