Among them were many who were important in their day and generatif n in the affairs of moment of church and state. It is quite remarkable how large number of them attained to an advanced term of life, a convincing argument of the healthfulnesS of this locality and seemingly of the upright ness of the people dwelling within the borders of the town. Some of those living in the past generations were i'm bued with the feeling that they did not care to have their agricultural pursuits interferred with or infringed upon as the permitting of manufac- turing interests to gain foothold here in the Center was not tolerated.
 The substantial we'll built houses constructed here and at different Sec- tions of the town more than century ago fully attest the thrifty ways and lives of those of preceding generations. In these days of unprecedented pro- gress we should feel inspired by what was accomplished under great priva- tions and difficulties to keep pace with the opportunities at our command, :, gaining confidence and encouragement from such gathering as this to meet the demands that the coming days may have in store for us.

 In this we would find I think, tasaa one element of it's intellectual growth lay in the old Rudd School, the school of our fathers and grandfat aers, which enjoyed reputation second to none in its day. Through this educational center one might gather from among our old families much of its best thought sufficient to, fill pages of history of great value to us. In the few minutes that ]. have allotted to me, my thoughts na .turally must run into that ever prese Int life, the medical life of Huntington. No feature of the past of our town W hich entered into it's very heart, and came into closest touch with all it's classes, stands out so prominently as does the work Of the medical men who uncompiainingly and consciously lived their long sacrificing lives among the people and passed to their reward. It is long beyond my memory, indeed it is traditional his tory that brings before us the crude yet earnest work of the early doctors who in Colonial days rode our narrow and winding streets to relieve the

To fellow tOwnsmen of Huntington, Conn.,, in their old home week, Greet ings: May the many remembranoeS that shall be brought to mind be en- nObling and improving. Of my stay there of over II years, nothing seemed to impress itself on my mind more vtv- idly than the quickly resurrected cour- age of the people from . great trial. can see now, as if it were not more than yesterday, the sad melancholy that prevailed on the discouraged faces as the people on the morning of the 18th of July, 1885, when they gath cred and looked on the smoking re- mains of our comfortable old church building. The common expression
 was: ssNe can never rebuild again." But by 2 D. m. the tide had began to
 turn and flew were taking encOur-
 aQingly and by night fall the sads dis

 eral hundred dollars were subscribed
 towards . new house of worship, and
 from that time all seemed cheerful and
 worked earnestly for the new building, enabled to dedicate the new house, nearly:free from debt.
 One of the best jokes remember was when Mrs Jusie Curtis Clark, wife of Henry Fl. Clark of Nilldale, Conn, had arranged with myself to present the church with the tbeautiful toned bell unbeknOWn to tho church and community till the bell WAS in Shelton ! and had sent Frederick Wooster to bring 1t over as . surprise to tho pe0- ple. But something in the shipping
 directions were not clear, causing the freight-maSter to telephone to Edward Buckingham for further instruction before he would deliver 1t to MT Wooster. MT Buckingham came rus6.

When re- piled, "Yes, have sent Ar Wooster over to get it, it was . sight to See | the look of blank aStoni1hment spread over his face.
