Remarkable Operatiss.

Mrs. w. J. Miller, of Lime Springs,
underwent an operation at the hospital
in this city some days ago for gall
stones. Her son. Or. T. E. Miller, and
. specialist, DR.. Wey Ian, both of Chi
cago, performed the operation. The
gladstone removed was more than two
inches in length and about an inch and
half in thickness, and was a perfect
egg shape. DIR. Weylan pronounced it
the largest he had ever seen, and said
it would take several hundred of the
gallstones usually found to make one
the size of this.
Mrs. Miller is recovering nicely from
the operation n--Decorah Journal.

 The ninety second annual meeting of the Ashford Baptist association was held at Willimantio September 26th and 27th. The convention opened on Tuesday afternoon with the women's Missionary service Mrs. Emily F.. Spencer, state secretary, was the principal speaker. At the close of this meeting Rev. H. B. Goodsell con- ducted a brief devotional service The recent resignation of the Rev. W. F. Rowley of Willimantic left the associ- ation without a moderator and Rev. w. D. Sanfield of Danielson was chosen to fill that office until a moderator for the year could be duly elected. Several of the churches have called new pastors within the year. Rev. A. E. Stone has come to Putnam and Rev. O. A. Parker to Wilmington, Rev. F. W. Klein is at the Eber Dun- ham memorial church and Rev. F.. E. Manderson IS at Stafford. The program had been so arranged as to make both days equally attractive. On Tuesday afternoon Rev. A. B Goats, ID. D., secretary of the Con- neoticut Baptist convention was present and brought his usual encouraging message. He declared that we must expect large results and work for the realization of the five-year program which Baptists have made their ob- jectiye. The annual sermon was by Rev. B. O. Bugbee of Wsrrenville Rev. E. A. Blake of Brooklyn read a unique paper on 'The Preacher and His Education. At the evening session there were two addresses which held the close attention of the audience. Rev. A. E. Stone of Putnam delivered the first address and Rev. G. H. Storms of Norwich the second address. The Wednesday sessions of the association opened promptly at 9.3O o'clock. A good number of dele gates from the various churches were in attendance. The letters of the sixteen churches were read and ap. proved. An interesting part of the days program was the general dis cussion of the topic. "What is the matter with the rural church ?" Rev. c +. Genung, D. D.. of Brooklyn opened this discussion. The other feature of the morning was an ad- dress by Rev. P. H. J. Lerrigo, M. D., of Boston on the subject, "A voyage of self.discovery. In the afternoon came various reports and other matters of business. Two ad- dresses were scheduled for this hour, one by Rev. O. R. McNally of New London and the other by Rev. O. A. Parker of Wilmington. The former was for some reason detained. Rev. B. O. Bugbee was chosen moderator for the ensuing year and Rev. H. D. Baker of Woodstock, clerk and treasurer. Rev. E. A.
