ING AND EVENING
Everybody mt Church Sunday

Last Sabbath was observed by the
Federated Churches as Everybody at
Church Sunday" The morning ser
vice was for the married and the
evening service for the unmarried
people Letters had been sent pre-
viously to the members of the various
parishes, calling attention to this
special day. These letters bore fruit
in a large attendance at both ser
vices. Notwithstanding the extremely
cold weather. Many were present
who have not been seen heretofore.
AT the morning service Rev. George
Merriam preached very practical
sermon to the married people. Mr.
Merriam introduced to the congrega-
tion AQuila and Priscilla, whose home
in Ephesus was a center of religious
power He emphasized what the
church could do for the home and
what the home could do for the church
also the responsibility of parents for
the religious condition of their child
ren.
Rev. c. H Mckinney preached the
sermon to the young people in the
evening Mir. Elhiney had as his sub
ject Lots Choice and he showed the
young people that they should be
grateful for the power of choice, and
exhorted them to use that power wise
ly. Wrecked lives are the result of
wrong choices
The music for the day was especial
ly appropriate. At the morning ser
vice quartette sang Angels of
Jesus a mems chorus sang Nearer
My God TO Thee" and at the conclu-
sion OF the service, Mrs. Eta SWEET
Bradley sang very impressively
Home, Sweet Home. At the even
ing service chorus of young people
sang Softly, Now The Light Of Day
At both services a voluntary Of
fering was taken for Syrian and Ar
menian Relief amounting TO $28.7S.
Next Sunday evenings sermon Will

Our young friend had lived but
thirty years, but she had enjoyed life
as few ever do, and had added to the
happiness of all with whom she came
in contact. She had developed along
broad lines, for her environment was
not confined to one small circle. She
had known the advantages OF travel
and the development that comes from
meeting many people of many minds
and of various intellectual attain
ments.
If she was at home and part OF
Gods world, and realm OF trees and
flowers, she was also at home in the
hustle of great city, for the True
Soul is at home Everywhere!
Her environment did not make her

CAROLYN COFFIN BRAINARD
A Tribute

1.-The fairest things in life are Death
and Birth
And of these two the fairer thing is
Death"
Associated with my memory of
Carolyn Brainard is the beauty and
freedom and Joy of Gods great Out of
Doors.
The blue OF the skies. the ripple Of
the waters, the forest trees and the
wild flowers of the woods speak Of
her.
The spring. from whose clear wat
ers those loving and willing hands
brought draughts of sparkling water
for her friends to drink, sings Of her
to those who knew and loved her. She
was as natural as nature itself, and
seemed part of morning light and
sunset clouds! A part of the birds
and winds that swept the lake!
Death may take from the sight
those earth has known and loved f;
but it can never take from the soul
the things that have been dear to the
soul, for in the soul of things human
ity abides. In the Chamber OF
Imagery live and walk those we have
known of yore and the heart vibrates
with songs that can never die:
For Life is ever Lord Of Death
And Love can never lose it's own"
When from our sight and plane oi
consciousness departs those we have
known and loved, our thought flashes
;swifter than the swiftest light ovel
their lives, their environment, theil
development, their personality!
When they leave the earth plane the
distinctive something" that makes

FINE WEATHER FOR SOMERSET POMONA
MANY PATRONS IN ATTENDANCE
Session Which Adjourned Yesterday was One
OF The Best In The History OF The Order

The 39th annual session of Somer-
set Pomona occurred with Skowhe-
gan Grange, Tuesday and yesterday
the perfect weather bringing a large
attendance. Worthy Master Eugene
Danforth presided. assisted by the fol
lowing officers Overseer, H. l.

ard Grant Witham; assistant stew
ard, w. D. Bradbury; chaplain, Mrs
John McCollor; treasurer, s. Fl. Brad

The Worthy Master gave report OF
the recent meeting of the State
Grange at Portland. Also resume
OF the Pomona meetings for 1918
C. H. Chute, L. l.. Smith and l. A
Homsted were appointed committee
to audit the books of the secretary
and treasurer.
From Secretary Emerson's report ii
appears that Pomona meetings have
been held during the past year as fol-
lows: January SO, Skowhegan ;
February 12, Madison; March 70, Nor
ridgewock; May IA, Mercer; June H.
Athens; June 25, Starks; August 49,
Solon; August 27 Fairfield; Sept. 10
Bingham; December 10, Anson.
The prevailing epidemic prevented
the holding of meetings at New Port
land and Smithfield. A severe storm
was on at the date of the Mercer
meeting and only four officers and
few members were present. The
most of the other meetings were
largely attended and splendidly pre-
spared programs were carried out.
Great credit is due Worthy Master
Brother Danforth and Worthy Lee
turer Sister Watson for the inter-
est they have manifested in making
the Pomona meetings a success. This
is not casting any reflections upon
the other officers who have so faith
fully attended the meetings and rem
.dered efficient service. Somerset
Pomona has a membership of 752 who
have paid dues to within the pre-
scribed limits of two years,-certainly
enough to continue the Pomona on its
onward way as one of the great or
ganizations of Somerset county.
The election of officers for 1919 re-
suited in a reelection of every Of
fetal with the exception of mem
ber OF the executive committee, Geo.
l.. Parker being chosen to that posi-
tion.
State Grange Secretary f. II. Libby
was present and spoke upon Grange
work. Subordinate Oranges reported
as follows: Somerset, Victor, An
son, Sandy River, Kennebec Valley,
Skowhegan, North Somerset, Canaan,
