On Saturday afternoon last the MEM
bers OF the Roger Williams Chapel cele-
brated in most approximate manner the
sixth anniversaryof their pastors coming
among them. Rev. George A. Smith has
been for 20 years most faithful servant
in tho Masters vineyard, aud 1t is not
saying too much to affirm that no pastor
has been more jealous in the performance
his labors than the clergyman who has
directed the servicessat this chapel. Not
only has the congregation paid Oh large
debt, but the increase OF spiritual devo-
tion among its members has been par
ticularly notable. BY all those quiet but
effective means that make n pastor not
only the leader but the friend OF his
flock, Rev. Mr.. Smith has fulfilled the
duties OF his high calling. During his
administration large number OF persons
have been admitted to full membership
in the church, and the importance OF the
body has been notably increased.
Rev. MIR. Smith, after graduating from
the theological seminary, served for many
year at st. Albans and Bristol, Vermont.
The Women's Industrial Society of the
chapel therefore thought that 1t would be
proper to celebrate in q prominent way
the anniversary. Under the handsome
trees that shade the beautiful lawn sur
rounding the church a bountiful repast
was served that met with the most gem
erous patronage, not only from parish
oners, but from residents of Wanskuck in
general. The pastor was the recipient Of
a number OF floral offerings and other
choice gifts. A handsome parish souvenir
has been prepared containing, together
with valuable information concerning the
parish, some fine views Of scenery in
Wanskuck.

Park and after an investigation OF the
alarm, found one man on top OF another
administering severe punishment to the
fellow underneath. After considerable of
tussle the officer arrested the party
