 Next Sunday at the church, the ser vice, commencing at o'clock, will be given up to the children's day con- cert. This is always a pleasing oc- -casion and this year promises to be particularly good, as the music will be especially fine. We wish all the people, children particularly, who participated in the observance of Decoration day would be present at the children's day concert. Flowers are solicited.
 The annual meeting of the Ladies' Aid society for the hearing of reports and choice of officers will be held Friday afternoon at 2. 30. It is hoped that all the old members will renew AHnA ha received, and that the men of the church will remember that they are invited to join the organization as honorary members. The membership fees all help, and the new piano, to complete the payment for which we are now at work, is giving much pleasure generally.
 At the choice of officers at the an- nual meeting of the Sunday school June 1st Chauncy Reed was elected superintendent; Mrs. Annie A. Pres ton, assistant superintendent; Dea N W. Pratt, secretary; George A. Cosgrove, treasurer, Mrs. Ward having declined to serve as she lives at such distance that she cannot always be present; Mrs. Harriet Robbins Pou- trey, organist; Mrs. Nathan O. Ward, assistant secretary. Miss Mathews and Miss Nichols will continue in charge of the junior department, where they are most efficient.
 A convention to be long held in memory was that of the Holland county w. o. T. U. annual of last Wednesday in the Episcopal church, Stafford Springs, for it's Christian concord, large benefits, fulfllment of hopes, prophecy of greater things yet to come, hospitality given, good at- tendance despite the weather, the presence and kind words of Rector Norwood, of Rev. and Mrs. Buck, the beautifully rendered violin solo by Miss Ruth Butterfield and the sweet and inspiring vocal solo by Miss Annette Washburn, made one great whole of interest and inspiration, and our age and experience permits us to say, as we have often said of our own town, that this organization should have the sympathy and sup port of a larger membership through out the whole of the large and beauti- full township of Stafford.
 Miss Palmer was appointed to take charge of the supper arrangements at the annual roll-call of the church | Tuesday, the 10th, commencing at 3 l o'clock.
