Since the resignation of Dr. Lester L. West, as pastor of the Second Con- gregational church, which, when it takes effect, will leave the church without a pastor, there has been con- siderable quiet consideration .of the possibility of the consolidation of the Second church and the Broadway Con- gregational church, With such in view there have been two meetings of offi- cials of the two churches when the possibilities of such action have been talked over and it has been. presented to a number of the members of both churches for the purpose of sounding the. feeling of the congregations rela- tive to such a move, . The outcome of the matter, which has not as yet been presented to eith- er church as a body, is yet very un- certain. There will be doubtless much oppositiopn to the idea. Perhaps the strongest argument that can be used in behalf of the idea is the fact that the churches are so closely located that they are drawing {rom the same section of the city, a fact which has been felt for some time would ulti- mately bring about an agitation for consolidation, but which has been hastened by Dr. West's resignation. Neithér church is in debt and the finances are such that consolidation need not be urged, Broadway beifig the wealthier church in:this respect. Some months ago the society commit- tee of the Second church ~was ap- proached in regard to the sale of the property of the church, but that was ',,nBodi‘a——Smlh;l_"ulingofflgfi- uhanimously turned down. The Sec- ond church has a membership of about 360, while the membership at Broad- way church is about 600. ' ‘What action will be taken when the matter is presented to the churches separately, if it goes as far as that, cannot be foretold. That there will be much opposition is certain from the attitude of a number of the prom- inent members. The talk of consolidation will prob- ably come as a surprise to a num- ber of the members of both churches. The Second chureh is the parent church, the ecclesiastical society being organized November 29, 1751, while the church was organized July 24, 1760, and Rev, Nathaniel Whitaker was in- stalled the first pastor seven months later, Services were held in Trapp's tavern, now the Bill block, coxner of Shetucket and Little Water streets. The first church was built in 1766, nearly opposite Sevin's drug store, which was burned in 1783. In 1795 a frame building was erected where the present church stands, but the pres- ent church was erected in 184 ring built of stone furnished by General Willlams from his quarry in Love lane road. It was in 1842 that'a number of the members withdrew from the Second church and formed the Broadway Con- gregational church, and on April 5, 1874, the corporate body of Park Con- gregational church withdrew from the Second church. Six hours after high water it is low tide, which is followed by floed tide. GREENEVILLE Valentine Luppert Loses Valuable Horse Which Had Legs Broken and Was Shot—Ladies’ Charitable Socie- ty Whist—Turkey Awarded. Another isfortune befell Valentine Luppert off Central avenue about 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, when his horse got away, ran up the railroad track to & point behind the tannery, and went down an embankment, break- ing both hind legs, so that it had to be shot by William J. Kramer. Mr, Luppert was putting the harness onto his horse at his barn in the rear of his shop near the corner of Central avenue and Twelfth street when the animal broke loose and ran down Twelfth street onto the tracks. The stéamboat train was coming up along behind the horse and gained until, to get out of the way, the horse jumped down the bank into the canal. A num- ber of geop]e say they saw the train hit the horse. The loss to Mr. Luppert will be sev- eral hundred dollars, and follows sev- eral other runaways, in one of which at Taftville, only a few months ago, he had his arm broken. TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY. Father Smith EoTnplstu Today Dozen Years as Pastor of St. Mary's Church. Today will mark for Rev. James J. Smith the completion of twelve years devoted labor in Greeneville as pastor of St. Mary's church, and for the parish the rounding out of a dozen years of growth, since it was divided from the rest of Norwich by the late Right Rev. "Michael Tierney on Nov. 24, 1897 Since Father Smith began his pastor- ate here a modern ‘brick parochial scheol, a commodious convent and last of all a fine new rectory have through his efforts been built. It i{s tke hope of his parish that he may not leave his field until his work is crowned by the building of a new parish church. The spiritual slde of the work has grown in like ratio, there being now about 2,600 communicants. Ladies’ Charitable Society Whist. Mr. and Mrs. John Donovan enter- tained over 100 people Tuesday even- ing at their home on North Main street at the semi-monthly meeting of the Ladies’ Charitable society of St. Mary's parish.

Tuesday afternoon a meeting of the union evangelistic executive committee was held, at which the question of hav- ing further union services on Sunday evenings was brought up.

The | idea is to have one of these metings | in the central part of the city and the | other in the outskirts each week. ; The suggestion was turned over to nesg men’s committee, which, nge a schedule for the meet- report it at the mass meeting ings an in Broadway church on Friday' night.
