OUTING FOR MEN.

The Seabury society of New York, which has charge of the outing for
 men which comes to the Kent school,
 Kent, August l to 9, has charge also
 of a Seabury conference which has just closed at St Faiths school, Pough- keepsie. This Poughkeepsie meeting was for women exclusively, and was the most successful ever held by the society. The accommodations of the school were taxed to their outmost throughout the entire fortnight. Out door meetings, Bible lectures, mission study classes and Sunday school con duct formed the work of the Confer ence. As the Kent outing is for men, the Poughkeepsie one was for women, and women were present at it from fifteen dioceses, including Cuba. Lead CTS in theWoman's Auxiliary, the Girls Friendly and other organizations in the Episcopal church were present. The beautiful grounds, the many places in the Hudson valley to visit, and the ample accommodations of St Faiths school building helped to make the Con ference pronounced success. The same instructors who were at Poughkeepsie will come to Kent. In addition, there is to be held at Kent during the outing a business session, attended by leaders in the Episcopal church, which will make out a national campaign for work by laymen in behalf of missions. Cities from Providence on the East, Norfolk on the South, and Pittsburg on the west will be represented. The numbers will not be large, for it is meeting of leaders, but it is likely that thirty cities will have men there. On the afternoon of Sunday, August g out of doors on the lawn of St An drew's church, Kent, there will be held a public meeting, at which some men will tell what they do. Men and women of Kent and vicinity are cor dially invited to attend. If it proves stormy, the meeting will be held in the church.

attraction in Extra and judging
from the crowded house" every
night we should consider that it
was highly appreciated. Not only
by townspeople but by country folk
as we'll, for many came miles to
listen to the originality of the COM
edians. 1t was nice clean show,
freed from vulgar and obscene
"hits" which are always welcome in
Extra. We hope Mr.. Abbott with
the rest of his little crowd may be
able to renew their acquaintance at
no distant day.

tWhitted had his frailties; these we
write in the sand. But his virtues
which were far in excess, are writ
ten upon the enduring granite of
character which he developed,
and engraved in the affectionate
remem brance in which he is held
by those who knew and loved him.
He was an upright citizen, kind
husband, loving father and a
sincere Christian. We firmly be-
lieve he is now membered among
the Immortals of God.
The funeral was held at the
Christian church conducted by
Rev. e. A. Poison and attended by
/. large number of people. Inter
ment took place at the Extra
cemetery.
