pastor of the Congregational church. Meth Williams of Ansonia sang a solo which was very much enjoyed. There was also other appropriate music. Monday the old residents called on their neighbors of years gone by and talked over old times. Tuesday was the day of the Old Home picnic which proved, in spite of the threatening weather, to be very pleasant occa- sion. Nearly 500 people gathered on the green at the Center to take in the festivities of the day. About II o'clock the people began to gather and for. nearly two hours good social time was enjoyed while the good housewives of Huntington were pre- paring the substantial lunch, which consisted of sandwiches, potato salad,
 pickles, cake, pie, peaches, bananas and lemonade and there was an abun-
 dance for all. About l o'clock all were invited to be seated in the little grove in the center of the green and then pretty young misses of Hunting ton did the honors as walters. They passed the good things around to all present who did ample justice to them. At the tent just south of the green ice cream was for sale for all who wished.
 After the wants of the inner man
 were supplied short literary program
 was enjoyed, the speakers standing on
 the old mill stone just north of the green. Rev F. A. Holden. president of the Old Home Association, opened

 and hope you will have pleasant time. We ask any who may have old papers, old deeds, old pictures, old relics of any kind and would be glad to preserve them, to present, them to the asso ciation and they will see that they are preserved. We trust, as we said last year, sonfe one may feel in- clined some day to present to our Old Home Association a building in which to keep the relics and which also may be used for library. You see how much our green has been improved and how we'll kept our village is. That is what old Huntington has done, now there is new Huntington ahead of us and we trust better work is yet to be done in the grand old town than has been done in the past. We want all to help us in naming the large new reservoir, which has Just been built in the southern part of the town, Lake Huntington, which will make 8 new point of interest for our town. We love the Sabbath, we love the church, we love our town, and now let us place our ideal high and strive to reachitss The old mill stone on which stand came from the oldest mill in town and was put. here by E.

Last Sunday, August 19, was the
 opening of the Old Home gathering at
 Huntington. At the Congregational
 church in the morning the pastor,
 Rev F. A. Holden, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion from the text in Jeremiah 1: 10, comparing very forceably the work of the fathers in making old Huntington what it is and the work we now have in new Hunt iugton in making it what we would like to have 1t In the future. It was very interesting and appropriate ser mon for this occasion. Old familiar hymns were sung carrying the older people back to the time when they were young and listened to the same hymns. There was also at St ,Paul's Episcopal church in the morning a service appropriate to the day. The church was very prettily and tasteful ly decorated with wild flowers. The pastor, Rev H. l.. Everest, took the outline of . sermon preached by Rev Christopher Newton, who was rector of St Paul's church from 1755 to 17o3, which was preached about 150 years ago in the same church, and filled it in with his own thoughts, making very powerful and instructive sermon and appropriate to the day. The music was also suitable for the occa- sion.
 BOTH CHURCHES WE'RE WELL FILLED.
 In the evening union service was held ct St Paul's church. The church was filled with Huntington people and many who had come back to enjoy the old scenes once more. The rector, Rev H. L.. Everest, presided. The service opened with devotional exer- cises led by the rector, and Rev Will liam Burrows, . former rector. There were three very interesting and in- structive addresses by Dr H. A. Rob- erts of Shelton, Rev William Burrows of Fair Haven and Rev F. A. Holden,

THE LAST VOYAGE. My work on earth is we'll nigh done wait the setting of the sun. I hear the surging of the Sea That beats upon eternity. I see far off the shadowy realm And thither turn my trembling helm. The winds that blew so cold and drear Grow softer as the end draws near. The distant gleams of silver light Relieve the darkness of the night. There stand upon the misty shore Faint forms of Loved ones gone before. The voice that once said "Peace be
 still"
 Now whispers softly "Fear no ill.," I sail alone, yet not alone, The Saviour takes me for His own. 1 wait His greeting when land, I wait the grasp of His Loved Hand.

THE WORD, WELCOME,
DEAR HOME TOWN.

 Dear Home Town: As the years roll
 by And life seems more complex, While Duty treads on Duty's heels, Too oft our hearts to vex, Wen backward cast no longing glance Nor breathe one wistful sigh, To those delightful>da of yore, When youthful hopes ran high. For youthful hopes if not fulfilled, Were but the hopes of youth; Maturer years new ideals bring Of greater, grander truth; Have we frollicked in the sunshine? Have we bent beneath the storm? Then we know the forests mighty
 strength, And how that strength was born. So we're marching on to victory Der self and selfish aims; We shall learn thetjoy of sacritice,' The truth of others claims; And we'll bravely face the glory Of each newly risen sun, And with faces to the sunrise, Hear the Master say "Well dOne!' And we'll come home each summer, A blessing to secure; To gather strength from these dear
 hills, That seem forever sure. To feel the thrill of friendship, Old friendship, tried and true, Twill bring glad thoughts another
 year, And hearten us anew.
 Faithfully yours,
 Harriet AliiS Bllkley. Southport, August, 1906.
