 ''The law of the harvest is to reap more than you SOW; SOW an act and you reap habit, SOW a habit and you reap character. SOW character and you reap a destiny !"

E. union, which was held at Mansfield Center last Friday afternoon and evening. Miss Dunning's report at the meeting Sunday evening was listened to with much interest.

Oar. row will be present to preach for the Baptists next Sunday At the close If the service business meeting will De held, to see if the church will vote 10 extend call to Rev. MT. Darrow 70 fill the vacant pastorate. It is 1oped that all who are interested of ;he church and congregation will be even if it takes bit of extra ,ffort.

Preston, Esq.,, took so much pleas. mt interest in collecting. and that were for some years in the church l ,arlor, were carried to Willimantic l asst Friday to be reset in frames that ! and when completed will De rehung in the church parlor. The l ommittee of the Ladies' Aid having | he matter in hand were Mrs. Hol- nan, Miss Hall, Mrs. Preston; ad- isory committee, Mrs w. H. Hall | nd Miss Alice Preston. The trip in he roomy Hall Pierce Arrow was de- ightful and the courtesy that made possible for all the committee to Iave a voice in the matter much ap. reciated. It is hoped that suitable | iotures of Rev. Charles L. Snow, ow of West Medway, Mass, and hat of Rev. o. w. Wolfe, now at )hicago university, may soon be suit- bly framed and added to the col ection
