 The 42d annual meeting of the Ash ford Union Bible association was held last Wednesday in the grove at War. renville. Those who desire to spend Q day amid scenery near to Nature can find no better place than this secluded grove back from the highway, and picturesque with massive rocks for . background, and towering trees and thick undergrowth everywhere. The rain of Tuesday had laid the dust, freshened the air and made possible an ideal day for the meeting of Wsd- nesday. As was expected, about 200 people were present. The morning was occupied with the brief business session. This resulted in the re- election of last years officers, with the exception of president. Owing to Che continued illness of Deacon AnSOn Barlow the office of president for the coming year is to be filled by Gilbert Amidon of Westford. Mir. Amidon was the presiding officer of the day and from the abundance of material at hand, including ministers. choir and band, very satisfaotory program was arranged. After all had partAken in a bounteous collation. provided by the ladies of the church, the afternoon session was opened at 1.3O o'clock with prayer by Rev. J. B. King of Eastford. Deacon z. B. Bicknell, treasurer of the union, called for the annual offering in behalf of the Con. necticut Bible society, to which there was . generous response. The follow ing pastors were present and delivered brief addresses: Rev. B. O. Bugbee, Rev. K. P. Mathewson of Rhode Is- land, Rev. MT. Read of Abingdon, Rev. J. B. King of EastfOrd, Rev. H. B. Goodsell of North Ashford, Rev. E. W. Darrow of Willington, Rev. Leonard Smith of Spring Hill. Among the speakers were also two lAymen from Brooklyn, N. Y., who delivered addresses, Dr. James Ingalls, and Dr. l.. J. Cardona. At the close of the exercises Harlan Amidon of Westford Hill called upon the people for . rising vote of thanks for the services of all officers and others who had served to make the day pleasant and cheerful for all. The next meeting of the union will be in the WhIton grove, Westford Hill, August, 1912.
