Written by Pastor. Al in all, the work was most satis- factorily done. The pageant was writ- ten and conducted throughout by the pastor, Rev. Willlam J. Reynolds, who has every reason to be proud of his people for the splendid support they gave him in every particular, his wishes being acceded to in everything and his most sanguine expectations being met. Nearly forty people have | participated in the different scenes and not a single disappointment| throughout the ten services that could have been avolded, and then the parts were very creditably taken by the sub- stitutes. For Country Betterment. The pastor feels that “worth while work” has been done, “country better- ment work” of the very highest kind undertaken and carried through with great success, showing that every com- munity if rightly approached and led, quickly and gladly responds to the very best things. No parish in New England is more typically country than this parish, extending from Moo- sup to Voluntown, twelve miles, from Plainfield td’ Escoheeg, R. L, fourteen miles, for members of this congrega- tion live from four to six miles distant and there is no church between. The usual evening congregations number from fifteen to twenty-five. Since the presentaticn of the pageants began, one hundred or more have been pres- ent, the study of history has been stimulated, the reading of the New Testament quickened, and a great in- terest taken in the most wonderful man in_history. For many mission work will mean much more than ever before, and the short but stimulating addresses of the pastor on the work each member in the community must do to fill his place and work out the scheme of the race will not soon be forgotten. Already plans are on foot larger things for the future. HAMPTON Death of Albert Fenton Mills—Dance in Grange Hall. to do |- F. A.
