A unique and interesting service will be held at Congregational church Sunday morning. The wonderful picture, "The Master," by Darius Cobb will be exhibited and the noted artist himself will speak of this masterpiece on which he labored for thirty years. Rev. C. F. Hill Crathern of Worcester and the artist are devoting themselves to the mission of deepening the vision of the Christ. Wherever they have gone their service has created a profound impression. Rev. Mr. Crathern speaks on "The Christ in Art." Mr. Cobb speaks of the painting of his masterpiece. A special offering will be taken toward the expense of the mission. Following the service the sacrament of the Lord's supper will be observed.

The Glee Club concert to be given by the New Hampshire College Glee Club in the town hall Thursday evening, March 9, under the auspices of the high school, promises to be an exceptionally interesting entertainment. The Club consists of thirty members and the program to be rendered includes vocal and instrumental selections, readings and college song cheers. Some of the press notices enable us to appreciate at least slightly, the sort of an entertainment the club gives from the Portland Express. "The New Hampshire College Glee Club and Orchestra, a fine aggregation of well trained musicians, gave a splendid entertainment". From the Concord Patriot, "The Glee Club exhibited excellent training and members are deserving of much praise for the manner in which they rendered their numbers on the program." The concert begins at 8 p.m. Admission 25 cents. Arrangements will be made for a special car to the beach after the entertainment.

Mr. and Mrs. William T. Ross were called to Boston on Tuesday to attend the funeral of their aunt, Mrs. Harriet T. Todd who died suddenly on Sunday. Mrs. Todd was the vice president at large of the W.C.T.U., and that order had charge of part of the service reading their ritualistic service which had been compiled by Mrs. Todd. A long eulogy was written by Mrs. Kate Stevenson (who is in a sanitarium) and read by the state president. Rev. Jason Pierce had charge of the services and his beautiful prayer was like a sermon in itself. The large number present and the many floral offerings testified to the esteem in which Mrs. Todd was held. The funeral was held on her seventy third birthday and her voice which had been highly cultivated in her youth was as sweet and true at the time of her death as ever and she attributed its preservation to the fact, that she had always used it to advance the cause of her "Master."

Not many people realize the extent to which the parcel post business has grown. A single item, that of poultry, is in itself important. From 50 to 100 doz. Eggs are mailed from Hampton each day.
