 Putnam, Connecticut.
 My dear WIHIiamz.-0thers and fny- self have frequently thought of the splendid service which you and your choir rendered while here on pour Sa- cation. IL Is something pleasant to think about, for there 0as nothing at all unpleasant connected with it.
 We. in and about Mantle, think 2 of Putnam IS highly favored in having such an efficient choir. 1t leads with out effort and without distfacting. Their singing is an inspiration 10 true devotion. There is no desire on the part of anyone to attract attention, but aii seem filled with the earnest puf- pose of allowing their hearts to go out in sincere praise and sdoration 10 the great Jehovah whom the people with themselves had come 10 meet and vol ship. Tint is g merit Of unspeazsble xslae- The disease, ksosa ss "asega- eephalstis, has not a. yet made it's appearance among them.
 Their service with Us, two -aooathss was highly enjoyed by sli the people. IL was a benedietion to al that heard them. l say this honestly, and 1 be- Iiege in expressing this opinion l am voicing the judgment Of the entire audience. Everyone would have been willing to say as many did say, like Peter upon lhe Holy Mount, Ut is good for Us tO be here
 The church WAS well filled st both services. This is 8 greater ompHment than some might imagine, for at shore resorts even Christian people make light of religious privileges. Some shore visitors leaving home for their vacations say goodbye to their friends and t0 God also 90 far as st- tending the services of the sanctuary is concerned. God himself in goodness and mercy watches over them. The choir of the Second church did a real service 10 many such. It brought them to the House Of God and they re- ceiyed blessing. They went away rejoicing.
 The concert on Tuesday evening of the first week was altogether different from their music on the Sabbath. The program WAS rich in numbers, quality and melody-yefy enjoyable.
 The members of the choir under stand how 10 entertain callers. The pastor and his wife are in no doubt of this fact. The delicious refreshments still finger in their memory, and the unique "sonyenirsa are among their cherished possessions.
 We think that the director of the choir may take satisfaction and pleas ure in the ehoir's attachments, and we all hope that they may spend another vacation in our community, bringing with them the good spirit which they manifested on this vacation, and the music that uplifts and edifles while entertaining.
 Very sincerely yours,
