following an illness of about week,
death resulting from causes incident
to age.
She was born in Dublin, ireland, in
December, 1888, and was the daugh-
ter of James and Jane (Murray) Por-
ter. Whe nthe deceased was a child,
the family removed to Scotland, where
she was married to Mr.. Farrell about
so years ago. MIR. and Mrs. Farrell
came to Taftvil1e from Scotland %

NORWICH TOWN.
Rev. Thomas p. Rose of Lowell
breaches at M. E. church-LocaI
Residents Anxious for Electric Street
Lights.


Rev. Francis P. Rose, pastor of a
church in Lowell, Mass, preached at
the First Methodist church Sunday
morning. After referring to his early
days spent in this church, the speaker
took for his text, And it came ia pass
after they had gone over Elijah said to
Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee"
His subject was The Vision of the
Trail.
If there is anything dangerous in our
Christian life, the preacher said, it is
to be spiritually near sighted. We
should get a vision of higher, holier,
better things than we have been think
ing of. Time is too short to spend over
trifiing things. God pity the man with
little aims, with little self-respect.
God help us to be great. to deal with
the eternal consequences. What man
wants is a, friend. down at the bottom
of his heart-a God.
We are here for something besides
that We may have something unless it
is to give. Not what we have, but what
we are. Is it your desire simply to get
to haven? A man must believe in
God and love Him, because he can't
help it, then heaven will take care of
itself. When Jesus puts His yoke up
on us, it is the emblem of doing some
thing and of being something. The
temptation to stop keeps coming in the
struggle of getting an education, of a
business life, of a religious life. 1t is
the man who has won the struggle and
the prize who can say, Ask what I can
do for you.
Everything in life is based on the
question, Are you willing to pay the
price it is worth? Oh! for a praying
church that is willing to pay the price
of the souls it would bring in. I am
glad to be follower of tire Almighty,
miracle worker, Jesus, the Man of men,
the God in glory. May the. God of
greater and grander things hold us
from little and trif1ing affairs May He
help us not to stop at Bethel, at Jeri-
cho, but to push on to the Jordan and
hear as Elisha heard, Ask what I shall
do for thee.
