Mrs. Ella NJ. Keith of Worcester,
Mass, a w. C.. T. U. worker, was at
South Paris on Sunday. In the morning
she spoke at the Congregational church,
and in the evening she addressed a
union meeting at the Universalst church,
taking as her text, "Who is my neigh
bor?" Services at the Congregational
and Methodist churches were omitted
for the evening, and the church was fill
ed nearly to its capacity. Mrs. Keith
has been for seventeen years in charge of
work for sick and disabled railroad men,
and has devoted her time entirely to
that service. She is woman of very
pleasing manner, and her stories of some
of the ''boys" for whom she had cared
were not only of much interest to every
one, but some of them were very affect
ing, and the lessons of helpfulness and
practical religious work that she drew
from her experience should be of ma
terial benefit.
