THE sEVENING NEWS.

II Gray = H Robinson Dana Walcott, e.
p BARTLETT As soon as sufficient funds can
be raised, and a proper site can be procured,
it is proposed to build 2 place of worship, so
that our almost God-forSakcn town shall soon
have the tolling of at least one meeting house
bell To remind it of the Sabbath day, which at
present we doubt not that many of our citi-
zens are apt to forget. Wcare informed that
the society is small, and is in much need Of
nccuniarv aid, and it is to be hoped that every
citizen will consent to have at least one plank
in the new church. For there can be no
doubt that churches and public schools
will do as much to prevent crime and lawless
acts. and to produce high state Of civiliza-
ton, as auv other ordinary means, and hence
it is the duty of all citizens, even though not
professors of religion, TO aid in this or similar
enterprises. The character of the gentlemen
named rs trustees for energy predict certain
success to the new church, and it Is to be
hoped they have not undertaken this matter
without full determination to succeed IN
forming in this place large religious society

they manage to get along, and do very well.
