Talcott moved that an infor- al ballot be taken on the selection bf a successor to fill out the unexpired lerm as deacon caused by the death pf the late D. O. Rogers, which has 'our years to run. On the first ballot Paul K. Rogers, son of the lamented eacon was chosen to fill the vacancy. ‘he new deacon will bear the distinc- ion of being ome of the youngest bolders of a deaconship in the history pf the church. Other Deacons Chosen. The next business was the choosing two deacons for terms of five years 0 succeed W. A. House and A, W. ipson, whose one year terms ex- pired. H. Dayton Humphrey said that Inasmuch as E. H. Cooper, who had been elected to a deaconship last year, but who was forced to decline at the ime might be prevailed upon to ac- ept the place this year, and as his ather had been pastor of the church or twenty-five years, he would like o place his name in nomination for pne of the vacancies. Dr. Hill said that he was opposed to hny precedents being established in egard to nominations being made for fleacon, and he felt: that the best; ourse was to Tesort to an informal allot. E. W. Pelton was chosen halyman of the tellers and the first allot showed 55 votes cast, of which W, A, House had 26 and E. H. Cooper P6. Pour votes were scattered. A 'ormal ballot was taken and resulted in W. A. House getting 43 votes and 8. H. Cooper 14. Mr. House's elec- lon was made formal and unanimous. Upson Beaten. 1t required two ballots to decide the ther place on the board of deacons, jMr. Cooper ana Attorney A, W. pson contesting for the place. On| he first ballot the count was Cooper |31, Upson 20 and the meeting then | ftook a formal ballot which resulted in » Cooper’s overwhelming selection, e vote standing, Cooper 40, Upson Ecclesiastical Report. Dr, Hill stated that in the past the cficers of the Ecclesiastical society @ld not make a report at the annual meeting, but the officers this year had kindly consented to break this rule, and would submit annual statements. Treasurer W. L. Hatch reported Ireceipts of $13,373.56 and disburse- ments of $13,020.56 leaving a balance lof $353.06. In his remarks Treasurer Hatch said that it would be probable that an increase would be asked this year for seat rentals, caused by sev- era! changes in the church, or that sufficient pledges would have to be collected to make up the receipts for the year.

Take for IWORK WHILE YOU SLEEP Instead of nasty, harsh pills, salts, castor oil or dangerous calomel, why don’t you keep Cascarets handy in your home? Ce rets act on the liver and thirty feet of bowels so gently you don't realize you have taken a cathartic, but they act thor- oughly and can be depended upon when a good liver and bowel cleans- ing is necessary—they move the bile and poison from the bowels without griping and sweeten the stomach. You eat one or two at night like candy and you wake up feeling fine, the headache, biliousne: bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach, consti- pation, or bad cold disappears. Mo- thers should give cross, sick, feverish or bilious children a whole Cascaret any time—they are harmles: and safe for the little folks. G. FOX & CO. Hartford.

The pastor commenting on the fact that two of the members of the church had been connected with the congregation for over sixty vears and two for over fifty vears, reminded him that he had recently received two beautiful tributes. One was from Professor D, N. Camp who spoke in regret that 'he was not able to take part in the affairs as actively as he had in the past. He spoke of his joining the church on his arrival in this city, on watching with pride its lmagmiicon\ progress in growth since. Mrs. ' He assured the pastor that the South church affairs were always close to his heart and he wished it many greet- ings. | Professor | Camp has worshipped every pastor in the history of with the exception of the first. The letter was written by the venerable, “Grand Old Man,” and is being kept as a pleasant memento by the pastor. Deacon S. H. Wood moved that greetings be extended to Profess Camp on behalf of the church. Tribute To Talcott.
