Gifts to the Church.

An interesting feature Of the after
noon service at the Baptist church
last Sunday was the presentation to
the charch of a silver communion set.
The grandmother of e. r. Pope
some years since gave 5000 to the
erection of Baptish church building
in New Bedford, Mass and his mother
gave communion set. The grand
father of Bev. G. F. Bronson was at
one time the Baptist pastor in New
Bedford. That church has recently
bought new communion service and
sent the one mentioned to Rev. Pope
and he in turn gives it to the church
here. The facts as stated give this
communion set an increased value e.
pecially to the pastor.
Below is a list of the free will offer.
