GRATITUDE FOR THE FATHERS.
A pleasing Incident in the Congrega-
tional church, Middlebury, on Sunday
morning, November 20, was the repeti-
ton of sermon, preached apout 60 years
ago by its third pastor, Rev Jason At
water. 1t was an historical and fare
well address at the last meeting In the
old First church, which was then torn
down, and many of its huge timbers
wrought into the frame of the new one,
now standing. Having sketched the
leading events in the town and church to
that time, May 5, 1889, the pastor made
a most tender appeal to his congregation,
to initiate the noble self-sacrifice of their
fathers. His reminder of what has been
seen and felt in place, where 281 had
joined their number, during little over
40 years, and the touching words OF fare
well to pulpit, seats, aisles, communion
table, must have brought tears. to many
eyes. In connection with the repetition
of this impressive sermon, large oil
painting of the speaker was brought
out of it's hiding place for years and the
younger generation permitted to look up
on benignant countenance, remember
ed by only our aged citizens.
