The devotional service hour in the
hall last Sunday was taken up by re-
ports of the several delegates to the
Baptist state convention, held in Nor
witch last week. Rev. Charles w.
Wolfe's report covered the doings of
the convention in general way,
with special regard to the address by
DIR. Hall. Miss Ida M. Hall dwels
particularly with the proceedings of
the missionary meeting, and Miss
Elizabeth d. Hall, who was the dele
gate of the Sunday school, made the
Sunday school work the subject of
her report. Individually and collect
lively the reports were very interest
ing and instructive, and bring to those
who are not able to go the thoughts
of these leaders in their several
branches of work.
The following program was given
at the reception by the w. g. T. U.
to their new members in the hall last

man; reading by Miss Rose Dimock ;
song by Miss Ida M. Hall; remarks
by Rev. T. O. Denman; vocal duet
by Rev. and Mrs. Charles W. Wolfe
piano duet, Mrs. Alice M. Hall and
Miss Fannie Denman; reading by
Miss Rose Dimock; pinning on of
white ribbons, concluding by old and
new members joining hands and sing
insg "Some Glad Day." Refresh
ments we're served and a social hour
enjoyed, pleasant feature of which
was parliamentary drill, during
which Rev.. T. 9. Denman acted as
chairman, and was kept very, very
busy handling motions, amendments,
appeals and other distracting inven-
tions desinged VITO non plus, distract,
discomfort and rattle the victim in the
chair, but Mr.. D. handled it all in
that judicial and mastery manner
which characterizes all his worls.
Quite few had left the hall before
the drill took place, being unaware
of the fact that it was to be held.
Rev. Charles H. Brown was to have
addressed the meeting, but did not
appear. Such functions are very
pleasant way of keeping the public
in touch and in sympathy with the
organization. All parts of the pro-
gram we're much enjoyed, and special
mention Of any seems inappropriate.
