places may make their plans accord
ingly The society was organized
with view to the systematic distri-
button of Bibles in the homes through
out the town where needed. Who
suggested that the four churches in
the town 1.-TWO Baptist, two Congrega-
tional, work together for this pur-
pose is not clear, but certainly four
churches working in harmony under
such conditions is rare indeed. 1t
was q happy thought to meet in the
open air when the weather would per-
NIT, and may be described as a basket
picnic, to which all are welcomed
and is generally attended, as upwards
of four hundred have been counted,
coming from far and near, in this
scattered community. The present pres
ident is Arson G. Barlow; secretary,
John A. Brown. Program consists
of two sessions-1O a. m. and p.
m.-with bountiful lunch between.
The Babcock cornet band contribute
music, alternated with singing by a
chorus voluntarily assembled. Speak
ing by professionals and laymen is
given a prominent part, followed by
a general discussion. in which the au-
dience is requested to participate, to
the end that there be a full, free,
frank expression concerning the best
of life to q modicum of which we are
all divine heirs. There are Opportu-
mites for. nature study, tramps afield
and excursions across lots to places
of interest in the vicinity. Sugges-
ton has been made that the day be
given even more the appearance OF
old home week enjoyed by some OF
our neighboring states, by indicating
by means of signs or otherwise
points of historical or legendary in
terest, of which there are many
throughout the town, which was in
corporated and organized as a town
In 1715) thus helping to prepare the
way for a bi-centennial celebration.
Suggestions to this end sent to the
officers of the society would be gladly
received and carefully considered at
the regular meetings. 1t is believed
that an effort to develop the sent1-
mental factor in life would lead to
good results. Its value has been un-
derestimated, if not in danger of be.
ing lost to view, in our struggle to
1nfinikinpr nf
practical. AS Hubbard puts it: Let
the truth be echoed again and again
that happiness can never be reached
by annexation, absorption and owneT-
ship, but only through radiation.
