A Trip to the City.

One morning I was playing out in
the yard. having a fine time with my
other playmates, and all at once I
heard P call.
I Immediately answered the call. My
aunt had just arrived from New York
and she asked me If I would like
to visit the city with her for two
weeks. Of course, I was glad to get
the chance to go to visit the large city.
My mother packed my dress suit
case to get ready for the early train
the next morning
Before could realize it was seat
ed in the train and had hidden all of
my folks goodbye. The train was
going full force and after a long ride
arrived in New York
My aunt and got off the train. She
lived on Broadway and we had to wait
for the trolley car.
All at once I heard a whistle. It
was at the station waiting for passen-
gers. Just then I was seated in the
car, and of course it was crowded.
At last we arrived at my aunt's house
and they all greeted me.
After a long visit I got ready for
home. My aunt came as far as New
London and put me on the train bound
for Stafford and arrived home safely

The Hammer.

In the hammer lies the wealth of q
nation. Its merry clinks points out
house is built, not a ship floats, not
carriage rolls, not wheel spins, mol
an engine thunders, not a press speaks
not a bngie peals, not spade delves
not a banner floats, without having
endured the blows Of the hammer.
The hammer teaches us that great
only by good, hard, blows; that, If we
would attain usefulness and reach ouI
full perfection, we must not shrink
from the hardships Of life, but early
learn to cultivate the power of pa
tient endurance.

Goina FISHING.

One day two boys called John and
Mike thought they would go fishing.
They went to q small pond where
there were small boats. They dshed
from the boats, but did not catch any
thing. Soon Mike saw board stuck
in the grass by the side OF the tree
He went to get 1t.
John said they could use 1t for a
raft to fish from. They did not know
that the board was old and rotten and
had cracks in 1t. SO they pushed off
and jumped on.
Pretty soon Mike yelled that It was
going down. Then they all went In,
but soon got out again.
They did not go home right away,
because they would get q whipping
so THY sat down and waited, tin their
clothes dried, and then went home.

Our Church.


We have a little church, which is
the Ledyard Baptist. There are about
% members. We are a little band OF
followers.
The pastor Is one OF the most ac-
tive workers tor Jesus there Is and
practices what he breaches. He is
doing in this little church what many
another pastor wouldn't do for so lit
tie salary.
I like Mr.. Robbins very much, and
guess many others do. We have
raised money enough to have the
church shingled and now we are try
ing to have it fixed inside.
There were ten Of 9 us taken in az
members in December, ana We are
now working for the best to come.
I wish many of the heather boys
and girls who do not go to church
would some time know how nice It Is
to know God and love and serve Him
and when they die they will know they
are going to that beautiful place called
Heaven, or the Golden City, where
we can walk with God and be happy
ever after. It's just wonderful
