the stormcloud was huge bird. The
Arabians represented his wings as

WILMINGTON.

Lincoln Terry, eldest son of Rev.
W.. R. Terry. formerly pastor here,
now, pastor of the church in South
field, Mass, is attending the high
school in Great Darlington, Mass. 1,
his father driving him thither Mon
day mornings. He was the first and
last child born in the Baptist parson-
age here for years. Paul, the young
est son, is at home with his parents,
while Mabel ia still at Newton, N.
H., married, and has five children.
In this connection we may be per-
mitted to remark, perhaps, that the
new minister and his wife were
warned that one-hah of us was a
hard ticket, and that the other half
wanted to "run things We said
nothing, but, perhaps, did more, and
when they went away, staying with
us day or two, after their goods
were packed and shipped, they re-
marked that we were pretty good.
neighborly folks, after all. We would
not al1ude to this episode did it not
contain both q lesson and a moral.
There are two weak churches in Mr..
Terry's field, Congregational and Bap-
tist, and it is in project to unite the
two, Mr.. Terry doing the preaching,
first in the Congregational one year
and then the Baptist one year, thus
alternating right along-a consumma-
tion devoutly to be desired where con-
|ditions are similar.

Mr.. Charles T. Preston,
Wilmington, OF.
Very Dear Sir:-I am always much
interested in your Wilmington news
column. in the Stafford Press, and the
column in this week is especially in
teresting in its account of the meet
ing of the Ashford association at War
renville, as it recalls SO vividly o.
meeting held there Al years ago. It
was during the war, and during one
|of the sessions the news was received
that .Rey. VIM. @. Walker, chaplain
Of the 18th Conn. Vols, was at his
home in New London very sick and
not expected to live. Business was
suspended and special prayer was Of
cred for his recovery. It was during
the darkest time of the. war and the
feeling was very deep and earnest,
and as prayer was offered, led by Rev.
Charles Willett, there were strong
cryings and tears. and such a sense
of the Divine promise never felt or
witnessed. The whole congregation
was visibly moved. ! don't think
that I ever heard q prayer that seemed
to lay hold of the very strength of
God as did Elder Willett's. Brother
Walker recovered and afterward did
good service as chaplain, although I
believe :. did not remain very long in
the service. Very few remain who
were at that meeting of the associa-
ton at Warrenville. I presume that
Brother Batchelder of Stafford is the
only one of the pastors living who
were at that meeting. I thought
then. and still think, that the recov-
tsry Of Chaplain Walker was in answer
to prayer.
~ Very sincerely yours,

A traveller In France I'm the early part
Of the nineteenth century describes his
landing at Boulogne by means Of a
small boat as follows: The boat rowed
toward the nearest shore until IL ran
aground. which happened In the midst
Of the breakers In an instant the boat
was surrounded by n throng Of women
up to their middles and over. who were
there to carry us on shore Not being
aware OF these maneuvers. we did not
throw ourselves into the arms Of these
sea nymphs so readily as we might
have done. whereby those who sat IR
the stern OF the boat were deIuged

The Nimble ParagrapI..

It is most extraordinary thing that
some of our most successful novelists
cannot turn out q newspaper para
graph to save their lives. In most
novels there Is some page or other ON
a supposititious clipping from news
paper bearing upon the events under
narration, and in ninety cases out Of
hundred the matter that makes up the
clipping is most unreal. The truth
Of the matter Is that all the training In
the world will not enable a man to
write in this manner unless he has
been through the mill and had all the
nonsense deleted by the remorseless
subeditor. Our novelists do not have
their manuscript hacked and chopped
about by this skillful executioner, and
their pseudo newspaper clippings are
models OF what the real thing IL not

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. :" Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice TO the
consumPtive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
.Scott's EmulsioniSt themod-
ern method of feeding fat TO
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
