Mothers of boys have an opportunity this week to see the advance styles of boys and children's suits in the exhi- bition announced by Meigs & Go. Many exclusive novelties are in the ex- hibit, such as are now being shown in New York. Both wool and wash stuffs are shown, and the variety suggests a metropolitan store. In addition, the new styles in boys waists, blouses and neckwear will be shown. Doubtless many will be attracted to this unusual exhibit which marks the progressive policy of Meigs & Co.,, who in common with other large firms in larger cities, inaugurate this advance show of Spring and Summer wears for boys at this early day. The display is shown in the brightly lighted Annex and is worth visit. Men's Spring suits and overcoats, furnishings, hats and shoes are coming in for share of attention these days, and the show of these things at Meigs & Co.'s is quite the most liberal in scope and attractive in variety that the town affords.

Rev John H. Davis, M. A., M. D., now pastor of the Sherman Congre- gational church, is an Englishman by birth, an American by naturalization. He spent II years in Canada and was for six years employed in one of Canadian Banks. His special prepa- ration for the ministry was obtained at Horton Academy, Wolfville, N. S., Canada. He graduated in arts from Acadia University in 1893 and was ordained the fall of that year and be- came pastor of the church at Economy, N. s. In 1895 he took his degree of Master of Arts in the department of Economic Science. The fall of 1895 he entered upon Divinity course of three years and graduated in 1898 from Newton Theological Institution, New ton, Mass. During the greater portion of the three years MT Davis was pastor of one of the Newton churches. At the close of divinity course he was called to Georgetown, Mass, and re- mained there for nearly Six years. He resigned there in order to enter the Canadian Presbyterian Church of Canada of which he is now minister in good and regular standing. In ad- dition to the previous degrees, MT Davis has captured in 1904 an M. D., after five years study at Tufts Medical College, Boston. This degree was taken for foreign mission work which cannot be undertaken on account of the two small boys. The M. D. course was taken while pastor at Georgetown, Mass. The preference for this country is so marked on the part of Dr Davis that he declined a call to Canada the same week he accepted the call to the church in Sherman. pr Davis articles have frequently appeared in Christian Work' and other religious papers. He is an able preacher and the congregations at Sherman greatly enjoy his miniStratiOnS.

We aim to have them practiced here on any and all occa- sions.-[ Harry Rider, 612 Water street, Bridgeport.
