OLD PEOPLE GAIN
Strength by Taking VineI. Here Is
 Proof.

Proof.
 So many cases like this are con- stantly coming to our attention that we publish it for the benefit of oth- ers:-Mr John Widmayer of Jackson Mich, says; 'I am nearly TO years of age, and was in 8 feeble condition buh Vtnol has done wonders for me. It is the best medicine to create strength I have ever seen and I have taken & good many of them: Last spring I was run down and worn out but I took Vinol and soon regained my strength. Vinol is certainly an invigorating tonic for old people"
 It is the medicinal curative ele- ments of the cod livers without oil aided by the blood-makng and strength creating properties of tonic iron which are contained in Vinol that makes it so efficient in such cases.
 If you have an aged father mother CT anyone in your family who needs a strength creating tonic, try Vinol on our offer to give back your money if it fails to benefit. Broadway. Pharmacy G. c. Engler, Norwich Conn. Vinol is sold in Baltic by J. W. Lavalle & Co.,, and in Taftville by the Taftville Pharmacy.

 Into a tall and noisy lad; He always cuddles in my arms

Rev. Nj. R. French and First Metho- dist Choir Provide Sheltering Arms SerVice-Children's Party-Sermon for c, E. Week.

Rev. M. R. French and choir of the First Methodist church were at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon. The text of the address was, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me be- cause he hath annointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the broken -hearted."' It was an ancient Hebrew custom to annoint in preparation for service, whether prophet, priest or king. Christ waited through the years for this an nointlng and baptism, and this was the first text from which He preached In this world have been sown the seeds of sin, sorrow and death and there is need of a Christ. During the. days of His earthly life He only began the work of teaching the way to God. The work begun must be car ried on by His disciples and by the church The Christ of Galilee walks no more with Us in the flesh, but He still works with us else we should lay down our work in despair. Interces- sorry prayer brings the annointing of the Holy Spirit and the presence of Christ with us
 The first part of the hour was spent in singing familiar hymns. The Beau tiful City, solo by Charles Frazier sung in rich, tenor voice, and the solo He Knows by Mrs. F. H. Bushnell In which the rendering brought out fully the thought expressed by the words, were greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Bushnell was at the piano.
