And now another great drawback for us Is, our choir has been in Q muss for a long time, and at lnss it collapsed completely. The "origi- nal and only one in town" has been lead CT quite a while, but he could not keep it | up, so down it went and we have had no singing except by the congregation until | last Sunday, when the "Governor" came | ont with his troupe and gave us some fine | music. Onf summer boarders are all | gone, but we hope the. Governor" will hang on tin next season so they may hear nun sa .t-- s#4 s, -....t-i

The inscription ss0ne Lord, One Faith, One Baptism" surrounds the bowl of the font in raised letters very tastefully cut. On the base is the inscription. ''IN MEMoRIAM, Gerard Sumner Wiggin." The reading desk has been removed, ,and with its brighter color ing, and neat notices, the inside of the church is certainly made much pleasanter than of old. v
