 All those who were interested in Sum- day school work were invited to attend the evening meeting last Sunday, when Rev. c. l.. Snow gave report of the Sunday school convention which he att tended in Meriden last week. We con- fess that we were surprised to find that so many were interested in the work, as the hall was filled with people. If it isn't asking too much, we would like to see that same representation. at the school each Sunday. Whitford's orchestra: John Whitford, violin; Miss Lizzie Whitford, organist; W. Buckingham Jr., cornet i; and Robert Pratt, Clarinet, gave two selections very acceptably. Rev. Shows report was quite interesting and enliv- ened by little sketches.
