she stood almost in the relation of fos-
ter-daugh hter and with whom she cane to
Randolph three years ago upon their re-
rnoval from Barre. bright mind and
gentle, forbearing disposition gave sn at
trsctive personality that won the regard
of all those among whom her lot chanced
to be cast.
She had long been frail in health and
the nature of the dread disease with

End Of the Meetinss.
The series of evangeiistic meetings con-
Quoted by Rev. J. p. Brusingham, ID. D.,
of Chicago closed Sunday after q week Of
strenuous effort to arouse religious en-
thusiasm in this people and disturb the
seeming calm OF indifference affected to-
ward spiritual matters. There being no
protesting heafhen in this community, in
which all claim some degree OF Christian
ity, conversions were not 50 much the OBJ
ject of the revival as the quickening OF
dormant faith.
Sunday morning q congregation Of 600,
the largest of the week, and including the
Masonic fraternity and L. s. Grant post,
G.. A. r., assembled i'm the Baptist
church, and there were over 200 at the
afternoon meeting. In the evening the
church was again well filled and DIR.
Brusingbam took personal leave Of the
many who waited to receive a parting
word and handshake from him.
In his sermon Sunday night, the evan
gelist found occasion to commend stead
fastness of purpose in Christian life and
depiored the ephemeral nature OF some
sudden conversions, whose feryor sbating
makes the last estate of that man worse
postage stsmp--it must stick in order
TO be good for anything and ensure a safe
delivery Of the soul at the right address.
He congratulated the Baptist and Meth
odist churches on their recent federation
and declared that Methodist fire and
Baptist water should produce such an
abundance OF religious steam that, with
the hand Of Rev. Joseph Hamilton on the
throttle, church machinery would move
by safely controlled force and Christian
work would feel the impetus OF a great
power.
DIR. Brusingham, who was the guest Of
Rev. DIR. Cooper during his stay in Ran
doiph, started Monday night for Var
mouth, Nova Scotia, where he will rest
a short time before engaging IN a camp
meeting in that part OF the Dominion
Prof. NJ. ]. Hill, 10 whose leadership
and remarkable voice was due largely the
excellent singing that proved so aitrsc-
Friday morning as he had an immediate
engagement in Scottsvilie. Texas. and
wished to stop first at Welisboro, Pa, to
meet his wife, to whom he Was married
early in June.
The expenses OF the meetings were de-
frayed by the collections amounting to
about s67, which was sufficient TO cover
all bills. Sunday morning, in addition
to the collection, pledges were received
from IS to so cents.
DIR. Brusingham Is the author of a
book entitled, '.Catching Men, several
copies OF which we're sold among active
Christian workers.
