and Ran Away.

WORCESTER, Mass, April S.-Frederick
Kimball, for 80 years teller of the Peoples
Sayings Bank in this city. has been missing
since Wednesday. With him is $43,500 in
bank funds. The loss will in no wise affect
the banks solvency. Kimball's crime was
larceny. as he took property not in his
custody. Since he left his accounts have
been overhauled and found to be all right.
Last night the banks securities were over
hauled and the theft discovered. He has
written a letter since his departure in which
his intention never to return is ann ounced.
His flight was premeditated. Kimball
moved in the best society. He had the con-
fidence of his employers and the public. He
had salary of $4,000 and his wife had an in
come of about as much more. AS far as
known he lived within this Joint income.
The cause of the crime is unknown. Detec-
tives are on his track.

very helpful items to be observed.

5. TIE church is full Of faithful members who
to large degree are already organized for work.
g. Your pastor by reason Of experience and
observation Is in a position to recommend plans
and only such plans as he feels confident will car
He therefore, with confidence, having as a
motto, "a minimum of organization with maxi
mum OF etiiciency," submits the following scheme
of life and work:

Two DeacOns.
Two of the Parish Committee.
Superintendent Sunday School.
President Of Y. p. S. G. K.

the bond so recently formed between Dr.
