with the pastor; ushGrs, f. Il
Meserve, Richard Darling, Ear
Greer and Oliver Roberts. Two
committees were elected as the
following: nominating committee
Sidney johnson, T. G. Reyes and
Mrs. Mary e. Wallace; missionary
committee, Sidney johnson, Miss
Frances Atkinson and Miss I'll. e.
Reyes. The regular officers of the
Sunday School elected were the
following: Supt., James E. Hale;
asst. Supt., F. r. Meserve; Sec.
Mrs. George G. Fabyan; treas, ].
B. Hale; and librarian, Grace B.
Wallace.
The various reports of the even
ing showed that good progress
had been made during t1e year in
the work of the church and that
there were many things to en-
courage. A brief but excellent re
port of the Congregational Society
was presented by G. B. Barnett
showing the standing of the finan
ces of the church in the home ex-
penditure. A report by the pastor
concluded the business part of the
evening. In this last report it
was stated that the church had
lost four members by death and
two by dismissiOn to other church
es and that six members had been
gained, four on profession and two
by letter. During the year the
church has sustained great loss
in members who figured promi-
nently as officers and workers,
such loss is the death of James
B. Lawrie who filled so ably and
so long the important office of
clerk. But there are many things
that encourage. The Sunday
School is in the most vigorous and
hopeful condition for many years
and is doing grand work. The
young people are exhibiting a
spirit and willingness to come
forward to fill vacant places and
to carry on the work of the
church.
One response consisted of let
ter from Rev. John L. Merrill,
former pastor of this church,
which revealed a kindly interest
and sympathy for the people to
whom he once ministered.
A fitting conclusion was the
roll call at which some were pres
ent who had been absent for years.
The responses from absent mem,
bers were more than usual, some
coming from old and feeble PEG.
pie, and others from those far re
from us. In all these re
sponses at the calling of the roll
in the old home church there was
beautiful spirit of love
and loyalty to the church, o
steadfastness in the common faitl
and a thanksgiving to God fol
lis continued mercy. Although
many are scattered far and wide
yet how many are able to say, q
love thy church, o God"

A person, having knowledge of
a fact which might be used to the
credit of his town state and ma
ton, certainly has no place on
the reporters staff of the local
paper if he has not patriotism
enough to speak of it through
the columns of said paper. Still
/ realize l may be treading on
dangerous ground yet having the
good of the nation at heart and
after reading Jack Harris's let
ter last week, 1 feel it my bound
en- duty to speak, so here goes.
If there is one square mile of

ThetfOrd that can produce as
many handsome ladies of mar
age, who would grace
with their presence the home of
a U. S. Senator or Congressman,
or bring honor and dignity to the
home of a member of the highest
court in the land, it has not been
discovered yet.
Our pride rebels at first at the
thought of these ladies marrying
common servants of the people, yet
at second thought it is a question
of patriotism after all. How can
those poor men who find them
selves stranded in Washington
without a good wife do their duty
to their country if they must cook
their own cabbage and bacon or
worse still go out to a restaurant
and get a lot of condemned sam
pies from the food department

cannon mounted on carriages,
port holes from which guns pro
trude, and all the appliances for
defense in time of danger. There
are about sixty pounds of maple
sugar cakes in this fort. Aside
from this beautiful piece of work
manship, there are sugar rabbits,
pigs heads, shells, stars and cres-
cents, the stars swinging in the
crescents by white satin ribbons,
not much winter than the beauti,
