Congregational Church Notes

The pastor began his vacation this week, and will ee away the greater part of the month of August. If his services are needed he will gladly re. spona to any call. His restotiiee ad- dress will be--Oak Biutis, Mass, F. e. Box 4as. To reach him by Telephone or Telegraph call him at--oak Bluffs, The Highlands, opposite wesiey,rark.
 The following preachers have been secured for the month;
 Aug. 5--Rev. Willis r, Hume of Bergen. N. Y.
 Aug. is--Rev. l.. q. Horton. D. D., of Taunton, Mass.
 Aug. si--Rcy. samuel Raymond.
 The speaker for the fourth Sabbath will bc announced later.
 Rev. MT. Horton was formerly the popular pastor of the Methodist church in Wilhmantic; later he had charge for few years of the leading academy of that denomination in this state and Is now pastor of the largest church In Taunton, Mass. We feel assured that he will please the people.
 Mir. E. Nj. Warner will have charge of the Calendar for the month and all church notices and communications should bc given 10 him..
 The following persons are to take charge of the mid.week meetings;
 Aug. 5--Mr. ]. G. Johnson,
 Aug. li-Mr. +. N. Seward.
 Aug. is-Mr. +. NJ. Warner.
 Aug. ao-Mr. A. N. Bowen.
 The congregation will greatly miss the services of the choir during the va- cation month, and while we do not need any such proof to appreciate their value and help in the worship we shall more readily give them the credit that Is their due when in the early fall they resume their places. Their selections last Sabbath were extremely well giv- en, and requests for their repetition have been made.
 More than hall of the year has passcd and while not necessarily more than half of the benesolences have been con tributed this is presumably the fact From the nature of the case the offer. ings this month will be smaller than on any other month of the year. We have great faith In the efforts that the church k making to meet It's appor. tionment and 1t will surely do 80 If each one realizes hts responsibility In the matter. A little self denial on the part of all or large sacrifice by few will meet the request that the County Committee make of us.
 If you have any doubt of the way the editors Of the leading magazines In the country regard the work of the Foreign Missions and the place and significance of the "Laymen's Move mentti read the editorial in the June number of the World Today"

 The first pin-makisg machine WIS invented by \ doctor in Bellevue hos pital, New York city, in 1881, but tho company W hict was organized to uttI- ize the invention moved tD Derby tn this state six years later, and uonnectt- cut has ever since been known as tho pin.making headquarters of the world. Evidently the concern which started It's business In Lowell did not feel at home on the blanks of the Mesfimae+ 1t had to move acfoss the line that separates us from Massachusetts in order to get Into the right pIn-making and pin-stieking atmosphere.
 Samuel Slocum's nanieis more prom. iuent than that of anybody else except the Bellevue doct0S's tn connection with the pln business because he tn- vented the first pin.slicktng nachlnes which was quite as important as tho pin-maktng machine, because in ordes to sell pins to | woman it is absolutely necessity to hand them to her In vtIoh . way that the points do not get in ene fn0H Ut uGf HUH&t1s z@th4 f9tVCANt <A<A that back in lsil, and the pln industry hns been picking up ever slnce.
