Sunday, June 24.-—My Sunday School scholars are learning the shorter catechism. One recited thirty-?ve answers to questions to-day, another twenty-six, another twenty, the others eleven. Very well indeed. They do not see why it is called the “ shorter ” Catechism! They all had their ambrotypes. taken with me yesterday at Finley’s—Mary Hoyt, Fannie and Ella Lyon, Ella Wood, Ella Van Tyne, Mary Vanderbrook, Jennie Whitlaw and Katie Neu. They are all going to dress in white and sit on the front seat in church at my wedding. Grandmother had Mrs. Gooding make individual fruit cakes for each of them and also some for each member of our sewing society.
