STANTON SEERE is no severtising medium in == ut equal to The Bui- for bustness resulis | )| was pastor for fifty-six year: Of wvital interest to every lover of historic Norwich is the approaching 250th anniversary of the foundation of the First Congregational church. The occasion is to be duly recognized by a series of special public services May 15-17. The first cial tion of the church was made in Hartford in the spring of 1660, and it is appropriate that at this time, and not earlier, its founding should be commemorated. For two centuries and a half one or another of its fine meeting houses has dominated the ancient Green at Nor- wich Town, ang during the whole of this quarter millennium the church has been & principal factor in molding the ideals of the town. The leading men of the earlier generations of Norwich citizens were almost invariably enroll- ed in its membership, and the church ‘was peculiarly identified from the be- ginning with the founding and devel- opment of Norwich. Very few, if any, churches can ex- hibit a more excellent record of long pastorates. In the whole period of its existence only ten ministers have serv- ed this church. Rev. Benjamin Lord, D. D. occupied the pulpit sixty-seven years, until his death in 1784, and his successor, Rev. Joseph Strong, D. D., The three days’ celebration begins with a historical sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. George H. Ewing, Sun- Aday morning, May 15.

Called together by President Noah Lucas, the members of the class of 1905 at the Free Academy gathered in the Y. M. C. A. building on Thursday evening for the purpose of discussing the plans for the five-year reunion of the class. There was an attendance of twenty-flyve members and much en- thusiasm was manifested. It was decided to have a banguet and dance and the date fixed was Saturday evening, June 2 This will allow those attending from out of town to be at home over Sunday, and at- tending the alumni meeting on Mou- day evening if desired. A committee to look after the plans was named, consisting ef President Noah ILucas, Miss Iieion Hamilton, Miss Adelaide Crooks, Henry Arnold and Leonard Hiscox. The class numbered 57 =at graduation and it is expected a larme proporijon of them will be in attznd- ance at the reunion Bishop Nilan. His kindliness and solicitude for the wellfare of his flock, his untiring en- ergy in the cause of souls, his love for the poor, have been prom- inent since his election to the episco- pate. There is in the new bishop a combination of strength, gentleness and self control which marked him among others. It is significant that one of the first appointment of Father Nilan was to that of St. James’ church in Boston, which has already siven to the church many prelates and bishops. He was a curate at that church in 1892, when the Rev, John Brady of Amesbury was appointed auxiliary bishop of Boston. The transition from the rushing, Busy life in the very center of Boston to the almost pulsating quiet of the lit- tle town of Amesbury came to Father Nilan as a strong test of character, which he underwent for eighteen years creditably and loyally. The ex- pressions of esteem and personal loss which have been uttered since his election to the episcopate by the men, high and low, with whom he came in- to contact during his pastorate are a high evidence of his value both as a priest and a citizen. He knew how to steer unmoved amidst those jarring clashings of town jealousies which have gigantic Importance where pop- ulations are sparse. Bishop Nilan is not a seeker after notoriety either in press or pulpit. ‘While courageous he is yet modest in a manly way. In the pulpit he dis- plays a healthy practicability of thought and an open, hostile person- ality.—Boston Pilot 8ilver Gray Fox Farm at Essex. W. H.

The foxes are allowed to Tun fn a yard of about 40 square rods, which is enclosed with a high fence. A strange thing about the fence is that it extends nearly as far below the ground as it does up In the air, as the fox is cunning enough to try every | device for gaining his liberty and pass es a good deal of his time nights in burrowing in an effort to get free. The foxes are hardy and there is little trouble in keeping them alive | but the difficult part of the proposi- tion is in getting them to breed.

If fed too much, the foxes become fat and lazy and do not thrive. This also affects the qual ity of the skin. They will eat anything and, when young, may be fed milk.— Rutland News.

It is proposed to have the church doors open is the middle of the day. so that people may enter and rest. The standing committee of the church voted to do this, if it met with the approval of the trustees.
