CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES.
Rev w. Fl. Hayes Of Andover gave q
interesting discourse, last Sunday, on
eminent value of character in the race
for success in life, from the words "a
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches" Character is the bed
rock principle, the fine quorum Of all
true achievement. The victOrs In the
Olympian games were not crowned by
the judges when they won, unless it
were done honestly. Character Is the
ultimate end of life.
