Children's day exercises were unusu

ally interesting at the Congregational church, the large auditorium belug com. pletely filled. The music by the choir was selected for the occasion, and the recitations by the little ones, both singly and together, were all that could be de- sired. The pastor stated that this occa- siou belonged to the little ones, aud if they made mistakes, or forgot, it was all just as well. But they did excellently, and would have received abundant ap- plause bad it been given elsewhere. At the close of the service all of the chil- dren in the infant department were pre- sented with a small flowering plant in a pot. The collection of the morning was remarkably large, being uearly 835. There was an unusually large number of children christened, as the names will indicate:

The minister who "tells what he is preaching about" is the one that im. presses his hearers. I have not to preach at you, which is usually most in effective and nograciously received. You have come not to pay a tribute to form, but for the honor and glory of God. Religion is the main thing. It suffices for the active, the strenuous life. It is needed by the reformer, the phil- anthropist, by all who are engaged in furthering the interests of our common humanity. We all desire to have some part in relieving human life of its miser ies, sorrows and sufferings.

A famous painting shows a Christian upon one koee in adoration, while with the other fout he is ready to spring into consecrated action An earnest spirit is the true source of all success. My three points are : be serious, be strenuous and be earnest, the last being the greatest. A grave peril of the hour is buffyonery. This is the age of the funny mau. Jocu- larity creeps into all places, appropriate and inappropriate. Everything not funny is voted down. But seriousness may be carried too far. Good people have given the impression that religion is austere, and to be pious is to be severe. Religion is health of body and mind and spirit. Holiness is wholeness Keligiou is meant to be enjoyed. "That my joy might be fultilled in you" is the glory of saint- hood.

Work on the Plainville ronte of the electric railway was resumed yesterday morning. There remained 700 feet of track to be laid on the Plainville road at the point where a large tree stands directly in the way of the line.

The services at the Baptist church last Sunday, Children's day, were well attended. In the forenoon the pastor, Rev. F. B. Sleeper, preached on "A Christless Education," drawing his for- cible illustrations from the city of erly, Miss Ida Pond, Miss Grace Whit-

Athens in Panl's day. There is no ie deeming power in philosophy or the fine arts. These things, separate from pure aud undefiled religion, tend only to cor-

ruption. If our young people leave Christ out of their education their knowledge affords no blessing, In the

evening there was a very fine Sunday school concert that was thoroughly en- joyed by the large audience. The church was beautifully decorated.

Deau and the Friends' school of Provi deuce crossed bats on Saturday afternoon, and provided a rattling good game. Though Deau was defeated, it was noth. ing to be ashamed of, as our boys played a thoroughly good game, having a semi-

Attleboro team. It was a "one, two, three" game, the inuings being rolled off with remarkable rapidity, the score be- ing 3 to 1 in favor of the visitors. Dean stood a good chance to win throughout the game, but the pitcher was a truffe too much for them, so they had to be con- tent with good ilelding, which was real ly excellent.

After the finest game of the season the second team of the Franklin High school defented the Textiles ou Saturday after- noon by a score of 6 to 4. All through the game the Frankllu team was a leader but hy such a small margin that both
