GEORGE TRAUT d of the New Britain General Hospital One of the most unique social func- tions ever held by the members of the Stanley Memorial church took place Thursday evening. when the pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. Raymond N. Gilman, were kidnapped, by a group from the congregation, driven blindfolded about the city in an automobile and then escorted into, what they thought was a hall miles away but what turned out to be the basement of their own church. In the church which was elaborate- ly decorated with autumn foliage and flowers, alternated every few feet with hanging baskets of flowers, a platform was arranged. A solid wall of autumn leaves formed the back of the plat- form. Both front corners held large potted plants, connected with bright colored paper ribbons to a blue and gold canopy on the ceiling. A chair stood on each side of the platform, flanked with ferns. What "old timers' sald was the largest gathering of Stanley Memorial members ever held, was seated in the room when the pas- tor and ‘Ais wife were lefl in. When the blindfolds were removed the latter were greeted with upwards of 200 packages piled on the floor in front of them and were invited to open them. The packages contained a varlety of household articles rang- ing all the way from kitchen hard- ware, and bathroom towels to-a com-| plete set of dining room china, cut glass and silverware, winding up with a corn cob pipe for the minister. He was rather confused as to what use to put the latter article until ad- vised by someone that it was used for blowing bubbles. Following the opening of the sur- prise packages several vocal selec- tions were rendered by Walter Falk, after which brief addresses were given by the minister and his wife. Mr. Gilman spoke along the usual lines of gratitude and a closer feel- ing of sociability in the church, but it was when his wife spoke that the affair became for a moment a little more serious. Mrs. Gilman began by stating that it was two years and two months to the day when she left her home, her friends, her people and her country to become the wife of an Am- erican, She spoke of the difficulties of being a minister's wife in a coun- try where she is more or less un- familiar with the customs and her voice shook as she remarked that the evening's affair was evidence that her husband's congregation had accepted her as one of them She asked for assistance from the women of the parish in learning the customs of the country, An address was given by A. W. Rit- ter, who was master-of-ceremonies, It was when they first were led into the hall that Mrs. Gilman made her sen- sational identification of her husband Mr. Ritter and other men shook hands with her when she came in, finally placing her hand where she could touch the finger tips of her husband. TImmediately came the cry, “That's Raymond." Mrs. Oscar A. Marsh Arthur Knapp were the in charge of arrangements, . oe .
