to say regarding Mr.. Deans:
1.-THE readers Of the Church Helper
will remember that not long since we
made a prophecy that the time was not
far distant when Rev. John Deans of
the Congregational church, Dayville,
would be called to fill a larger and more
important place. That prophecy has
been fulfilled. Mr.. Deans has received
a unanimous call to become the pas
tor of the Congregational church at
River Point, r. L.. at a largely increas-
ed salary. Mr.. Deans is an energetic
young man with scholarly mind, good
preacher and every inch man
1--WE are sorry to lose him from our
community, but rejoice with him in his
deserved promotion. While we syn1pa-
tlize with our Dayville friends in their
loss, we congratulate River Point in
securing a young pastor who will
doubtless lead them forth to even larger
success

TERRILL AS SECOND LIEUTEN-
ANT

Captain Terrill the Winsted man,
whose recommendation as q second lieu
tenant in the United States service by
Senators Hawley and Plat, was seen
Monday by Waterbury American re-
porter in regard to the appointment.
THE captain says he knows nothing of
it except as announced in the press, but
of course hopes that it will prove true.
The captain said he would like to go to
the Philippines AS stated in the Amer
can, he has seen service for many
years in the militia, and throughout the
recent Wah he was a member of a Con-
nectcut artillery company. He was
for nearly a year major on the staff
of the Cuban general, Garcia, and saw
service in the province in the vicinity
of Santiago, and was on several en-
gagements beaween the Cubans and
Spaniards. Three times during the Gu
ban service the captain with a band Of
Cubans) penetrated the suburbs of San
tiago and he was also at Ell Caney two
or three times before the war with
Spain. We hope that later reports will
confirm the news of the captains ap-
pointment. He is a natural born SOL
der. and will undoubtedly make a good
record for himself in Uncle Sans SER
