 The meetings of the week will be as follows Pages of Arthur Tuesday af- ternoon, K. 0. K. A. Tuesday evening, and mid week prayer meeting on Thursday.
 Next Sunday the offering as indcat- ed on the Benevoence envelopes will be for the Congregational Home Mis- sionary society. On account of gift that was sent through one of our mem- bers the apportionment has been very nearly reached. It is therefore sug- gested that the gi1ers turn most of their offerings next Sabbath either to the pr. Kinnear Fund or to the Amer ican Missionary Association as there is quite deficit in each of these objects.
 The Queens and Pilgrims of AviIion ana the Pages or Arthur enjoyed the celebration of Chrstmastide little be- fore the usual date by making their last meetings seasons for sociability and gift making. The Queens were al- lowed to bring friends, and all the or ganizations used the evergreen tree for displaying simple gifts. There will be no meetings of the Queens and Pil- grims until after the holidays
 We are sorry 10 notice that the Be- nevolences for the year have not been sufficient to meet our apportio but we are glad that the total is larger than that of any other church in the county. We have held the first place for number of years and we do not care to yield that place to another.
