 The excellent sermon of Rev. J. K. Moore on Sunday morning from Prov l 29:25, showed us plainly how often Fear leads us into the by.paths of l life, especially in the experiences of the young, that these vacation times are especially ripe for the teachings of the :" Life oflJesus.'

 An entertainment given in the hall on Saturday evening gave great pleas ure to a full audience.
 The w. c. T. U.iof Thorn pson held very interesting meeting last week Thursday the 10th, at the home of Mrs. Silas Joslin. The thunder shower which appeared at about the time those l from a distance would have started for | the meeting, kept quite a number away, as sthey would not have had time to get there, after the shower was over there were b present. Mrs. New 1 ton, wife of the pastor of the East i Thompson Methodist church, joined the union. Mrs Robinson, President, as usual conducted the usual opening and religious services, Rev. Q. k. New ton ,offering the prayer. Various mat ters of business were discussed and
 decided Mrs. Woodward Secretary, | read report of last meeting. The mem-
 bers had a very animated and deeply interesting discussion pertaining to
 the temperance cause and the remarks i of Rev. Newton were very instructive
 and LID .to date. Mrs. Goodwin read an 1 excellent article and Mrs. Robinson spoke eutertaiugy. Indeed, the whole
 meeting was most enjoyable, as all i agreed ii was. SilaS Joslin, who had just returned from the 50th anniver-
 sary of the battle of Gettysburg, WAS
 urged to tell the audience something
 of what he had heard and seen, and he i did so in very pleasing manner. The
 first item, was to emphalically deny
 the reports of there being liquor sold on the ground and much drunkenness in evidence. He said he never saw a case of drunkenness on the grounds, and everyone knows that what Silas Joslin
 says is true. There were places out l side the camp where liquor could be
 found, as there Is nearly everywhere. i He had no fault to find with the food,
 either quality or quantity. Sunday
 and one other day there were 40,OOo
 gallons of ice cream served. Each vet
 eran was given a plate, pint cup,
 spoon, knife and fork and hard tack
 cracker to bring home as souvenir. 1 The report of a stabbing affTay was not 1 among the veterans. The w. C. I. L.. consider it great encouragement and cause to be proud of that no liquor was l allowed in camp. MT. Joslin and wife
 also entertained the company with fine selections from their fine Nictrola, a
 present at their late golden wedding.
 During a delightful social hour, Mrs. i Joslin served fine lunch to which all did ample justice. All in all, il was a ! never to be forgotten meeting, very many fine sentiments and readings being expressed.
