Answer.—The Scriptures declare that the earth s God's footstool (Isaiah 1) and that He is to make the of His feet giorious (Isafah Ix, In describing this work of beau- tifying the rth, e Prophets wax eloguent and pictire in glowing terms the conditions of the regenerated earth as L will when the Lord shall have finished His gracious work of preparing the earth for an everiast- ing habitation for the restored world of mankind. The desert g to bloom and blossom ax the rose, and springs shall burst forth in the solitary places, and the earth shall be glad for them (the happy race of mankind), The shall yield her increase, produc- wers and fruits where now the thorns and briars and weeds fourish. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf, and the voung lion, and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them, * * * for nothing shall hurt nor destroy In all the holy Kingdom: the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as,the waters cover the sea.” (Isaiah xi, 6-5.) In short, Paradise is to be restored! How strange if then the Lord should touch a match to the earth and burn it up! No; “the earth is to abide forever.”—Eccleslastes 1, 4.

Mr. Editor: The Bulletin's notice of the death of Willlam Netson, which has just come to the attention of some { bury, contains inaccuracies—but that is not sp strange when one remembers that it is twenty-five years and more Norwich. His death recalls the flying of time and many pleasant memories, rthnuxn his old pupils are not yet very There never was a “Norwich Silver Drum and Bugle Corps.” Its official title was that with “Silver” left out, nickel shells. Bank Commissioner pitt is the only member of it who comes to mind at this moment. But that wasn‘t the corps of young- sters to which vou evidently refer in the obituary; it came before, and the Juvenile drum corps, which wore a short pants uniform, and was actually This started as a drumming class and on the first Memorial day on which it escorted the Sons of Veterans it had no formal name. Next morning The ‘Bulletin referred to it as the Juvenile drum corps, and the name stuc o I was but nine years old when it was_organized, and the other bovs must have averaged about that. We never turned out, to my remembrance, with anything but drums, though we did practice some with a file of piccolo players. We did, however, have a lot of fancy snare drum work which could be turned loose on occasion. The Juvenile drum corps never es- corted the Grand Army veterams in Norwich—at least, on Memorial day; we did turn out with the republican veterans in a big parade when James G. Flane came to Norwich in 1888. We went to a Fourth of July celebra- tion at Henry C. Bowen's Roseland park in Woodstock with Sedgwic] post, once, too. Tscorting the veterans on Memorial day was, however, left for Tubbs' band and it used to be the pleasure of the Juvenile drum corps to make things interesting for the band. When we practised in the little old Grand Army hall on Franklin square, old Willlam would get one or two of his drummer friends to come in and he and they | would play a double drag while| we boys played one of our beats—with | the result that we could carry our time porfectly and complete the beat when in such an inferno of sound we The l’o us & Mitchell Co.

How Colonel Tubbs would scold! There is before me now a small pho- tograph of the original twelve in that Juvenile drum corps. One or two are dead and the others are scattered all over Christendom. Some of them I haven'{ known anything about for years. One other of the three former members of the drum corps Who now live in Waterbury is not in the pie- ture, for he (John H.
