 It is very gratifying to Madam Gard ner to hear that the health of her grandson, Rev. Harold Irving Gard ner, late missionary in Turkey, now residing in Whittier, Cal, is much inn proved and that he supplied the pulpit of Plymouth Congregational church there on the 18th. Both Rev. and Mrs. Gardner are active among the churches promoting interest in the work of the American F. M board.
 Another proof that boys grow into men is that Ernest Gray, the bright lad, who summered and wintered at Cozy Croft and came regularly to Sun grove and family is now Lieutenant Ernest Gray and as fine looking and appearing in his regimentals as he was as boy. He has been overseas, and as training officer in camps in the south since his return, has thir- teen months more to serve. When the time of his furlough, that he is spend ing with his brother and family in Wales, Mass, expires, he will be on duty at a camp in Nebraska. With the family he motored to Belcroft to call on his old friends.
