Ways a vast amount Of useful in-
formation, is continually ,dissemin-

even more must be done.

The Canadian Baptist last week had
the following complimentary note
from Rev. Dr. Norton, Superintendent
of Home Mission Churches, for the
Clinton and Auburn Baptist churches;
The work on this field during the
pastyear gives, me another opportun-
ity to mount my hobby— that is, the
leadership of the pastor. W hon the
last pastor left this field the people
were very much discouraged. The,
church et Clinton felt the loss of the
pastor so keenly that they even talked
of closing their doors. Mr. J. K. Pair•
full was sent to the field as pastor, and
immediately took hold of the work
with a strong grip. The work has
been gradually gaining in popular es-
teem and in power. During the laet
quarter they reported four baptisms
from Clinton and six baptisms from
Auburn. The attendance at Clmlon
has nearly doubled, so that in the even
ing service they no* have an average
attendance of nearly 100: Mr, Fairfull

each week on the Auburn end of the
field, His driving during the quarter
amounted to over lett miles, and dur-
ing the quarter before that to some
thing over 1,400. We have no word of
complaint concerning the hardnees of
the work, but constant expressions of
gratitude for the blessing that is. Coto•

tate to attribute the prosperity of the
field, under the,blessieg of God, to the
active and energetic leadership of the
pastor.
In the seine issue a summary of the
work of the Clinton Church was
given:—
On Thursday evening, January 21st,
the Ladies' Ald of the Clinton Baptist
church served a fine tea from 0 until
7.80 for the small sum of 30 cents, A
large number of the members of the
church as well as adheuents attended
and a verypleasant, social time was
spent. A 8 o'clock, the pastor called
the meeting to order and the annual
business meeting was held. After a
short prayer by the pastor, the busi
noes was at once proceeded with. T
reports the different departments of
the church were most encouraging,
and especially gratifying was the re
port which showed a balance of 1185in
the treasury. The pastor's report was
cheery and hopeful, showing, a very
thorough work done by him since com
ing to ns last May. We gained four
new members by haptim, four by letter
and one by restoration during the year
and lost four making a net gain of five.
The average attendance is gaining and
the prayer meetings are very well, at
tended.' The Ladies' Aid and Mission
have reorganized with an increased
membership and a more hopeful out
look than for some time. The Sunday
School report was also very encore
agfcg, showing•a balance on the right
side of 820. Sunday, Jan.17th we took
up a collection in aid of the Belgian
fund which amounted to something
like $11, and the Sunday School is giv
ing $6, Altogether we have a bright
outlook for the future. .I,he pastor
gave us our mottofor the year, "Re
member the days of old."
In the issue of Jan. 28th, the Auburn
report was published which we give
below;—
The annual business meeting of the
Baptist church was held on Tuesday,
Jan. 19th, with very encouraging re
ports from all parts of the church
work. Our church has suffered much
from removals to the West and also
by deaths. During the pastyear there
have been fifteen join the church, thir
