The JOY that all creation thrilled!
In other spring? Spring comes again
The May flowers bloom as once of DID,
The latest spring-time of the world
That all earth's springtmes have fore
told.
And as I look at leaf and flower
Those other springs come back to me.
The tender grace of each sweet hour
The past, and Coburn Woods, and Thee.

"Sam," the East New Sharon cor
respondent Of the Pennington Chroni-
Gle recently went to church and appar-
entity was not asleep all the time, be-
cause the following observations could
not have resulted from any dream:
when at the church at the village
and five children. Not a common thing
to see nowadays. SO many of one fam
fly at meeting. We don't calculate to
dip into the village matters much. but
the Methodists are a peculiar people
ana we train IN tnat company.
We went to church Sunday the 5th, the
text was in-well, let's sect might
have been in Daniel or some other
Ibook. I guess 1T was the other book.
Well. If we don't know where the text
was. the Sabbath school lesson told
something about Stephen being stoned
and that the other fellow, we guess his
name was Saul. held the coat and vest
Of that fellow who stoned Stephen. But
that Saul got more than his match
later on. After all we got quite a lit
tie out Of that Sundays service"
Sam" writes to the Pennington
Chronicle from East New Sharon as fol-

a fine thing and very uncommon. Mrs.
Eli Williamson is one of the most free
hearted women we know Of; II people
can't get boarded anywhere she takes
them and anybody hungry she feeds
them without any expectation of pay.
And another thing, she feeds all the
doves around the village: we counted
"a one day at her door. She buys corn
