M. E. Church Notes: The services of last Sunday were we'll attended. The pastor preached in the morning on "The Mother.love of God," and in the evening gave the first of 8 brief series of addresses on the work uf the general conference of the Metho- dist Episcopal church, which is in session at the present time in Saratoga Springs, N. Y The Sunday school board will meet this evening in the home of the superintendent, Freeman F. Patten. Tomorrow evening the regular prayer meeting will be held, and on Friday evening the meeting of the Junior Epworth League, Sun. day morning the pastors subject will be z Faces.
 What is the difference between 8 telephone and lead pencil sharpener ? It is not infrequent that telephone exchange is found fault with many times when they are in DO way to blame. Recently one of our teachers WhA4O 4OuO0Ab4AS 4OA UuC ohO1dA U HULL at the high school building had occasion to telephone on a somewhat important matter. After trying the telephone in the building many times lthe room being soantily lighted with. out being able to get any response from Central" she returned not a little disturbed. The following morn- ing she revisited the same telephone to ascertain if possible the cause of her failure to get Central the night previous, she was fully rewarded and not little mortified in finding that instead of ringing the regular bell that she had simply turned the handle of lead pencil sharpener which was just below the telephone proper.

Notice was given of 8 meeting in conference room Thurs. day at p m, for the consideration of the Sunday school work to which all teachers particularly and all in- terested are urged to be present.
 Minneapolis, Minn.
 My dear Mrs. Preston:
 That bass voil for which inquiry has been made several times since I have been a reader of The Press had quite a history. As near as my mem. ory serves me it became leading part of that famous orchestra as early as 1888 when our old friend Joshua Preston was its leader, or rather the leader of the famous choir of the Bap- tist church of Willintgnn for the writer cannot remember when that choir was not famous for it's fine voices, and especially its fine basses and altos. In the early days of the church until about 1884 only the tun. ing fork was used for the starting of the tune then was introduced the violin cello owned and played by Harvey Vinton, but he was frail and soon after went into a decline and passed on to the other side where his near friends had gone before him. As I recall it, two of his elsters had gone before him. The instrument that had been used belonged to the Vintons, and about 1888 MT. Stephen Weston, an older brother of Rufus and Orrigen Weston came to the rescue and made the church a present of that fine double bass voil and it was soon installed in the old gallery for service under the care of the then choir AossAO@S OO5AAn | Ac5tOAs 0Au 00ONe oAAp time occurred an incident that I have never forgotten. One Sunday having the natural curiosity of many boys during the mid day recess attempted to crowd myself into the gallery to see the new bass viol, and as two or three of us tried to go in, MT. Preston met us at the head of the stairs and taking your humble servant by his right ear just turned me about face and told me that my place was in our pew near the east window. That was a lesson that have never forgotten, and have ever been careful not to force myself in where I was not wanted, and could do no good. At the first there seemed to be no place to keep the instrument in the gallery and when not in use it was set in one of the pews below, but after time the closet over the west gallery stairs was found to be just the place and I can see Mir. Preston as he came up the west stairs go directly to the closet for the much loved bass viol, put it in tune. ready for his part in the service.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for trif1e less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes
 Alum powders are not only cheap, but they differ greatly in leavening power.
 If cheap baking powder is used for fine cake and the cake turns out failure there is waste of costly materials worth more than whole can of the cheap bal- ing powder.
 Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food and its use therefore, results in an actual saving.

 My dear Mrs. Preston:
 Since writing you yesterday and in the wakeful hours of the night think that have solved the riddle of what became of that double bass viol that served the Baptist church in Willing ton for at least twenty five years and nearly all of that time in the hands of the late Joshua Preston, the second son of Amos and Patty Taylor Preston. I am very sure that the change from the stringed orchestra to a reed in- strument occurred during the pastorate of Elder Wakeman, and during my residence in Monson, Mass. where I resided from April, 1859 to August, 1862, when we returned to Wilmington and lived until the next spring in the parsonage on the hill when we re. turned to our own home, the Merriek omestead, where we remained till the fall of S65 when we left the dear old town that had given us birth. My daughter, Mrs. Lathrop, who was from eight to eleven years while in Wilmington does not remember any thing of that double bass viol and that confirms me in my solution of the riddle that in the change that had been made during my residence in Monson the instrument had been turned to good account at it's real cash value and may be in use even to this day, for that class of instruments don't deteriorate by age and a better toned double bass viol than that one are very scarce. As remember it was made of beautiful birds-eye maple, the very best for any stringed in. strument. You can trust the strong men as were then in control of church affairs would not give away such a valuable instrument not for . simple song. Please let me know if you like my solution of your riddle.

 We have no doubt that this solves the problem--it might have been turned in to help pay for the melodeon. We're that the fact it would still be interesting to locate the much appre. oiated instrument that has lived so long in memory. Many thanks to MT. Merrick for his communications.
