Dear Advertiser : \ As Boston grows it leaves far be hind the old, first buildings of the eity and spreads itself out into in numerable suburbs and parks. In one pf these new partS;.iof the city several streets converge and' form Copley Square, -named tor one of the city's great -sons}-. 1 John - Singleton Copley, the artist. Several buildings bfUhterest sur round this square and form a sort of court The :Curry School of; Expres sion is 4at-one 'corn er. Acr?ss-from that is the Public Library, and a little distance farther is the New Old South Church. On the other side of the Square is the beautiful Copley Plaza Hotel, which was recently honored by having President and Mrs. Wilson as ns* guests. -Perhaps the most interesting build ing of1 all. is .the old Trinity church, once famous for its great pastor, Phillips Brooks. Facing the, street th?re is a beautiful memorial to him' containing his statue, below which are inscribed the words, "Phillips Brooks, Preacher of the Word ?of God, Lover of Mankind.: This monument is erected by his fellow citizens." I had the pleasure of at tending- service in this church not long ago,! and there is no church in' which I felt more at home. Whether it was the influence of the great^ Phillips Brooks still living in the hearts of his congregation, or wheth- 1 er it was the gracious and kindly manner of the present pastor, I do ; not know. For churches, like people, seem to have personalities, some draw , ydu instinctively td them and others^ are only waiting for you if you care to seek them ?ut The interior is well suited to; have had its walls echo to such great s?r - ?ftulKns Rrnoks must ha,ve pi*. . . ?. : hi wi MI pw.-" "ito be sW?nt; thf most; ' bca'atfC*- m th? ; country.

This particular service ' flag at Trinity-church contained one hundred and sixty-one stars includ ing three gold ones.

U. work at Harmony. We arriv ed at this church just while the Sun- j day School was in session and had the j pleasure of hearing Prof. Long in the j midst of teaching the Bible class. It was very interesting to be present and hear the questions of importance as brought out by the discussions of an. intelligent class. When the Sunday School assembled the whole church was nearly filled with people and when the church ser vice began the same number were present Everybody who came at all, came to Sunday School. When the Sunday School was dis missed, it was announced that the W. C. T. U. would take charge of the program, and Mr. L. G. Watson pre sided, over the meeting, making a very interesting allusion to the heroic work of the women of the W. C. T. U.,.whose efforts, he said,, would al ways be appreciated and never for gotten. Mr. Watson introduced Miss Atta way, whom he said he had known all his life, who spoke on the history of th? prohibition cause, _ and made an appeal for the Jubilee Fund, amount ing .to about $17.00 'The" singing was- very bright atfd spirited and added inspiration to the meeting. Mr. and'Mrs.' J. L. Mims were pre sent and were called on to add their commend?tiori to a noble cause. After the meeting was .dismissed, a meeting of the local -.inion .was calW ed and'about, six subscriptions to the Union Signal were taken. ;v: ?? ? . : The people of Harmony -; proved themselves loyal to the 'Centenary Movement by the posters \yhich(W?re displayed 911' the walls' of the church!
