Lee and Shepherd, publishers, Boston, have just i issued in their "Good Company series," a new book called "Life and Times of Jesus as related by Thomas Didymus It is written by James Freeman Clark in a narrative form and represents the subject from a doubter's stand-point. Thomas was an honest skeptic, and when he saw he was wrong, willingly acknowledged it. This book is of the "Ben Hurr" style and is printed in a cheap form.

Bible Readings for the Responsive Service. This book is uniform in style with "The People's Praise Book." It issues from the same noted editors and publishers. It is a studied volume of carefully prepared Bible Readings with changes in the face of the type to indicate the responsive parts. It differs materially from all other books prepared for responsive services and is by far the best of anything we have seen. It touches all the facts, doctrines and experiences connected with Christian faith and life.

THE ANNUAL MEETING. The annual congregational meeting was held Saturday afternoon, March, 28. There was a full attendance. John S. White, Mrs.

J. R. Thompson and Mrs. J. H.

Hitchcock, were elected trustees, but the two latter declined. The treasurer's re. port was read, also the clerk's. There was some deficiency in finances, but all would be paid in full by the first of April. The pastor's salarv was continued the same, and by A standing vote the pastor was thanked for his work during the year, and the congregation pledged again a hearty support, both moral and material.

The meeting was harmonious throughout. It is the desire of the congregation the coming year to keep all accounts paid up month by month, and incur no debts. "Pay as you go," is the motto. John Marshall was reeledted treas. urer.

THE L. M. S. The April meeting of the L. M.

Does this naturally; foCompound Oxygen is a concentration of nature's ozone. It is charged with elestricity. It is readily what will be the result of an inhalation of such vitalized nourishment. Disusea air cells expand again into activity. You feel like breathing from the top to the bottom of both lungs-something that but few of us do-and you regain strength in the most simple and direct way possible.

Another strong pointCompound Oxygen is liberated from the inhaling apparatus by heat. You put the inhaler in a tin cup of hot water- and breathe it--at once a warm oxygenated vapor gets to the lungs and you feel the genial glow from head to foot.
