AT THE CHURCHES
Advent

Drinking from cup' was the sub
ject from which the pastot, Rev. S. M.
Wales, spoke last Sunday morning. The
text was John IS; Ii. The cup to which
Jesus refers in the text was the cup of
suffering and death. He prayed that if
it were His Fathers will the cup might
pass from him, but was submissive. This
should be our attitude, yield to the d-
vine will. There is the cup of Gods
wrath against sin which was drank for us
therefore we may escape it. The cup of
salvation is not unpleasant; it contains
full, free, present and future salvation,
and is overlooking. James and John said
they were able to drink af the cup of suf-
fering, and indeed they did, with peace
andi good cheer. eff ye be without,
chastisement whereof all are partakers,
then are We bastards and not sons" At
present it may be grievous, but is for our
good, The cup of blessing, communion
with Christ, union and fellowship with
Him. The cup of separation, rye cannot
serve God and Mammon." The cup of
service, of sympathy composed of drops
of kindness. What is that in thine hand?
Let us be about our Fathers business
and go about doing good.

The Power of Snails.

One day by way of experiment /
harnessed two common garden snails
to a toy gun carriage to see if they
could pull it along, says a writer in a
London magazine. Although the gun
carriage was a heavy leaden one, the
snails pulled it so easily that 1 loaded
the body of the carriage with small
shot. The snails, however, were more
than equal to the task. Anxious to
test their powers still further, 1 at
tached toy cannon made of lead and
BRASS behind the gun carriage, but the
snails and their additional load moved
on once again with the same apparent
ease. Out Of curiosity / decided to
weigh the cannon, gun carriage and
shot and to my great surprise found
the total weight to be almost one
pound. l venture to think this very
good load fer two snails to manage.

The Family Pair.

The wriggly stiffness of the study
period was broken by slamming door,
and thin boy in dirty, ragged clothes
slouched across the room. Halfway to
the teachers desk he drawled, PA

little doubtful, he added, ''He kin come
back right away"
The permission given, the two badly
soiled, half starved sons of the most
shiftless family in the district shuffled
down the stairs. Very shortly Jim re-
turned, wearing pleased and impor-

Congregational

The attendance at the Cong'l church
last Sunday morning was large and the
sermon by Rev. C. c. ST. Clare was ex-
ceedingly interesting and helpful. His
text was taken from Rev. 2, part of the
18th verse, ITO him that overcometh
will | give to eat of the hidden mama,
and will give him white stone, and in
the stone a new name written, which no
man knoweth, saving he that receiveth
it," For an offertory Mrs. Geo. M.
Powers and Mrs. H. G. Fisk rendered
duet with pleasing effect.
There was an attendance of 1872 at Sun
day school, the same as the previous
Sunday.

Stories about the late Gen. o. o. How
ard, illustrating the kindness of his ma
ture, are told. One of them relates to
the famous march through Georgia, in
which General Howard co-operated with
Gen. w. Il. Sherman. Though the two
men differed widely in temperament a
great friendship grew up between them,
and General Sherman repeatedly attested
hisrespect for the unassuming piety of
General Howard. just before the cap
ture OF Savannah General Howard and
General Sherman went down the Ogee-
chez River in small boat to confer wi III
Admiral Dahlgren to arrange for the
final attack on that city. On finding that
Fort MacAllster had been carried and
that the army and navy were again in
communication, General Sherman was
much elated and jubliant, and soon after
they embarked he said: 81 feel good l
want to sing or shout, but my musical
education was neglected. Boys Ito the
staff officers in the boat can't you sing
something's" The ''boys' seemed at a
loss. Howard" said the General, 81
know you can sing for have heard yuu."
But, General" replied Howard, 81 can't
sing anything but hymn tunes. don't
know anything else" "Those will do
just as good as anything else,' said the
commanding General. ''Sing them" And
so, as they ran down to the fleet, How
ard made the air ring with 'Shining
Shore" "Homeward Bound' and Brock
Of Ages" the staff officers joining in and
Sherman occasionally attempting stave
or two.

THE "PIANO FUND +"

The following poem was read by Mrs.
T. J. Stewart at a meeting of Lamoille
Grange, Nov, 9th.
Last spring our Lecturer, Mrs. Nellie Shaw,
Whose word to all good Changers is statutory law,
Surprised the members one and all,
At that time gathered in Putnam Hall,
By saying each sister, whether cook, scrub or
scholar
Should for the Piano Fund" earn one dollar.
And this was not all she babe us do;
We must tell how earned the money too.
Now the time has come when | must tell
How for my dollar I've worked long and well.
When the scheme heard straightway thought
"My tomato plants are thrifty and will be gladly
| bought"
But the spring it was backward and the nights
| were very cold,
Jack Frost " took the tomato plants and not one
was sold.
Green Peas for the market next claimed my at
| tenton,
Several bushels | sold, but now l must mention
| That the buyer of peas was the grocery man,
| Who brought me nice goods in package and can,
But no cash did get, so fast the account ran.
Next my eyes were turned anxiously toward the
| strawberry bed,
From there | can surely get money!" said.
| At our house many mouths abide
| And tor Strawberries open big and wide,
| Soon the strawberries were all taken in
| And to work must once more begin.
Raspberries in plenty grew near by
To pick and sell them would try.
The berries were picked and easily sold,
But quickly gone was my hard earned gold.
was still on the worry side of the fence,
No nearer to having the one hundred cents
Uncle Samuel check will help me out,
For many days Pve ridden about
Delivering mail, in sun and rain,
In dust or mud, past fields of grain.
My " Piano Fund" dollar I'll have at last,
Disappointed no more as Pve been in the past
After paying some bills and for my last summers
hat
There wasn't penny left of that.
For mending breeches get no pay,
And now l can see other way
But from TOMS pocket must take -
The dollar for the pianos sake.
As judges now you all may stand,
I've given to you the case in hand,
1t you think this dollar not well earned
And from the treasury should be spurned,
A lesson hard shall have learned
And the dollar to the pocket returned.

taken.
