The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1897-11-10

On Thursday, Nov. 4, the Ladies'
Aid Society, of Rochester Congrega-
tional church, met at the parsonage
and gave their pastor and wife very
pleasant surprise by bringing in a
grand donation which was thankfully
received. They not only brought for
their pastor and wife; but also re-
membered their horse, and literally
responded in the line Of corn and oats.
A good social time was had and we felt
not only riches in temporal things, but
in Christian love and fellowhip, may
Gods blessing ever rest upon the kind
people of Rochester.
