would not disturb many persons persist

Those interested in the arrangements
whereby mothers attending the Congre-

it enabled both father and mother to at
tend the service, where before it had
been necessary to alternate, and in an
other it not only allowed the mother to
attend church, but added two children
to the beginners department of the sun
day school. Miss Mary e. Loomis, grad
ubtC ! anu ouPtl VI Tx
Aid association attendants, has charge
of the arrangements, assisted by several
women of the parish.
