| for the children were conducted, and the

special prominence. Prior to the SER

being thoroughly reorganized, and the
results of this work were seen in the
greatly increased attendance both of
adults and children. The occasion was
chosen to Use fresh tunes from new hymn
books which have been purchased, and
two very pretty songs were rendered by
a choir of eight girls. A number of reci-
tations were given. by other children,
and a short address by the pastor, in
which the building of character was
likened to the various stages of the
building of house from the foundation,
through to the final decoration and
adorn ment.

Lamoile county is one of the few
counties in the state that failed to get up
fusion ticket. While this may be re-
GREETED by some it is fact, irrespective
of party feeling, that "fusing" in politics
seldom brings about good results. When
fusion is resorted to it is usually because
one party, or both, sees success only by
amalgamation. When such success is
reached the party loses its identity and
