VILLAGE CHURCH ITEMS.

Rev A. II. Post gave us from his
pulpit, last Sunday morning, a long
sermon on the advantages and infiu.
ence of prayer, on the human mind
and character. BY prayer the home is
purified and made tit for the indwell-
ing of the Christian graces, fitting the
mother to exert the very best influence
on the hearts of the children, while
without it, in many instances, discord
and strife is more frequent. With
prayer, the man of business is strength
ened, fortified for many Of the trying
experiences Of daily life which other
wise would seem so much the more in
surmountable. He cited the action of
Gen Stonewall Jackson as an example
of constant prayer, who said that his
lips nearly always uttered prayer in
every little or greater thing he did,
even in the sealing and sending Of a
letter. The cause of so much listless-
ness and dormancy in some of the
churches, he attributed to a lack of
prayer, a slackness Of attention and
attendance on the prayer meetings.
Every live church is known by its ear
nest, constant, prayerful members.
Can we say the pastor is mistaken?

REMARKABLE INSTANCES OF HINDU

just north of Lahore, India, the
snow-fed Raw River is very broad and
shallow, and for the convenience of
the native farmers, the British govern
ment recently constructed pontoon
bridge, the toll of which is one rupee
about 80 cents. To evade this toll
the economical Hindus cross the river
just below the bridge, wading for a
distance of nearly mile in water up
to their waists. A novel picture Of
this will be shown by the Lyman H.
Howe Moving Picture Company in the
Town hall, on March 10. A great
string Of carts, laden with jungle grass,
burdened oxen, mules and Hindus of

| ABOUT THE NEW PIPE ORGAN.
After several months careful inves-
tigation and examination of many of
the largest, most perfect, costly and
magnificent pipe organs in this coun-
try with the view of securing such in
formation as would enable me to place
the contract for building the new pipe
organ presented to the First Congrega-
tional church of this village by Miss
A. E. Bostwick, with the builder to
whom thought would give the best
results for the amount invested, par
ticularly in tone quality, system of
construction, quality of workmanship
and other detail which go to make easy
the manipulation of the instrument,
Ernest M. Skinner of Boston was given
the contract. To Mr. SINNERS fertile
brain is accredited many of the most
important improvements and simpliti
cations of the tubular pneumatic and
electric pipe organ action. The new
gallery organ of Grace church, New
York, with miles OF copper wire in
cable connecting the organ with the
chancel console, some 200 feet away, to
which console he added Sole manuel
with its magnificent tuba, the new
choir stops, the linda Maris and Dull
Get and his organ key desk, was built
by Mr. Skinner. Many other large Or
gans have been constructed under
Skinner patents. When building the
organ at New Britain, the organist de-
sired console that could be used in
the aisle, but the aisle being but three
feet wide and the width of the usual
key desk for organs of this size being
some five feet and some inches, it was
thought to be impossible to carry out
the organist's wish. After little
thought Mr. Skinner left for the fac
tory, saying, "Ill have it," Mr.
Skinner soon appeared with his new
console and the situation mastered.
This desire on the part of the organist
opened the way for an improvement
Of inestimable value to thel per-
former, but it further required an in
genious brain to carry out and bring to
ultimate success that which had never
been done, and that which at first
seemed impossible. The console at
Grace church is the second one made
after this plan, but Mr. Skinner has
added an entirely new idea, that Of
displaying to the performer by the use
of tiny electric lights on either side Of
the console, the combination piston
operated on any manual. The New
Milford organ will have Mr. SINNERS
unified stop action compound wind
chest), a valuable acquisition to the
manual organs. By this system any
stop unified can be drawn on great or
swell organ. When used in the one it
is not in connection with the other I'M
less the stop is drawn. This gives the
performer the privilege of having his
sole or accompaniment on whichever
organ he pleases. The entire key and
stop action will be tubular pneumatic
of the latest and improved type. In
the specification there will be an ab-
sence of mixture and two foot stops
usually found in church specifications.
In their places will be some valuable
stops of the eight-foot tone, with a
wealth Of couplers.-[C.
