Sunday, the 3lst ult, was observed at
the Congregational church as "Harvest
Sunday" There was fine display OF
fruit and garden vegetables and some
flowers and a very appropriate sermon
by pastor Eaton. As our annual Thanks
giving Day has practically become a
holiday with the old time church SER
vice eliminated, Mr.. Eaton has suggest
ed that a Sunday before Thanksgiving
Day be observed as Harvest Day when
sample products of the farm and garden
be brought into church and the occasion
be one of thankfulness and gratitude
publicly expressed, and let it take the
place of the old time lengthy sermon
that used to tire the hungry, uneasy
kids on that day. "Harvest Sunday" has
been observed at the Congregational
church several times.
On Thursday evening, Nov. 4th, a
harvest supper and social was observed
at the vestry instead of any "Hallow-
cen" fol-de-rol, and much enjoyed.
On Sunday, Nov. 14th, Rev. S. c.
Eaton will speak on "Child Labor" and

featuring places.

PLIGHT OF JAPANESE EMIGRA-
TON COMPANIES.

The prohibition of emigration TO Ha-
waii has dealt serious blow to the
japanese emigration business. Over
thirty emigration companies in this
country have almost all suspended bust
ness and some of them, says the Japan
Times. have closed their doors. Those
continuing business are the Morioka
Co. Empire Emigration Co. and Meiii
Emigration Co. They remain in bust
ness with no small difficulty by send
ing emigrants to South America, chiefly
Brazil and Peru. But the steady
growth of national expansion, the Toxic
paper remarks. does not allow the Jap
anese to confne themselves any longer
within the limited extent of their faith
