Green street Methodist church was
re organized and revived on Sunday
last by the persistent and enthusias.
tic efforts OF the young ladies Of the

called susanna" had been growing
rather tagging of late. owing to the
increasing activity Of numerous Sun

IS the representative gathering OF
Methodist young ladies it was decided
that something must be done to
create an interest in it, The society
has representation and is a member
OF the kennebec Valley Federation Of
Ladies' Aids, and at the next Fed
Grafton meeting the society will be
represented, not simply as the social
society of young ladies of the church
but az a federation of young ladies
sunday school classes. The presi-
dent OF each class becomes a member
OF the executive committee Of the
new society and a president of the
society will be elected later. The
new society, under it's old name,
promises interesting things in the flu
ture, including as it does all young
ladies' in the church.
