DIR. ]. p. Clifford gave the Christian
Brotherhood a lively speech after the reg
ular supper in Bethany Parish house
Monday night. Among other good
things he told how parental judgment is
exercised in the choice of future avoca-
tions for young hopefuls. A tricky boy
they always make a lawyer of; a windy
kid, full OF talk without saying much,
they fit for the ministry, and a youngster
who likes to abuse cats and dogs, they
know is a born doctor.

DIR. j. p. Clifford addressed the Sanato-
rum Aid society at its regular monthly
meeting Friday afternoon and gave some
practical information regarding hospital
work in general, with the cheering intel
Iigence that this institution is not the
only one with difficult financial problems
to solve. He took up more particularly
the subject of surgery and the new sys-
TEN OF sterilization, that the sanatorium
needs in its equipment, and mentioned
other improvements, such as an elevator
that would add to the convenience and
better facilities OF the institution. A
sanatorium visiting committee was APP
pointed to call on those patients able to
enjoy little society, and Mrs. G. A. Pin
Carpenter and Mrs. Julia Walsh were
named to serve during May.
postal addressed to Warren Church
was taken home from the postoffice Satur-
day morning by his young son, Harold,
and gave Mrs. Church a severe shock as
her eye caught the address of Barre when
she read this message :-"Your son, ID. c.
Church, died at this institution tonight.
Where will you bury the body?' Her
eldest son, Dana f. Church, being a stu
dent at Goddard seminary, Barre, her
first thought, naturally, was of him and
she failed to notice Immediately that the
card was postmarked St. Louis and re-
mailed from Barre, where the family had
previously lived. The welfare of Dana
was ascertained and then a calmer con-
sderation of the card led to the conclu-
sion that the message must refer to War
rem Church's father, L. l. Church, who
went West from Boston 70 years ago and
had since held but little communication
with bis family. The last word from
him was letter received seven years ago,
saying that he was just out of a hospital
in New York and was bound for the
West again. ID. c. were the initials of
his wife, and il the card were sent by
stranger, errors in relationship and ini-
a mi q hf easily he made.
