Celebrates the Raising of Money for n
New Parsonage---an Historical Para
graph.
When the Brattieboro East society was
discussing the question as to the advisa-
biltty of building new parsonage on its
lot on North Main street Dea. G.. +.
Thompson remarked that with one good
man to help him he believed he could
raise the necessary amount of money in
four days. The society voted to build the
parsonage and Mr.. Thompson was made
chairman of the committee. The money
was raised in four days, but the commit
tee did not stop there. The money came
so easily that they decided TO keep right
on and raise enough TO pay this years ex-
ira salary which the society voted TO pay
its pastor to give the pastor the equivalent
of parsonage while the new parsonage is
being built, and numerous incidental ex-
penses which will be incurred this year
The society voted not to expend over
$500 in building parsonage. The COM
mttee raised $1,000, including $500 which
Col. Z. II. Chase has offered for a 20-foot
strip of land off the south side of the par
sOnage lot. In order to celebrate the COM
mittee's success Mr.. Thompson arranged
for special service of praise in the church
last Friday evening. The service was well
attended, and the meeting was specially
interesting, the only disappointment be-
ing that Mr.. Thompson was not able to be
present, he having been taken i'll the night
before. l.. f. Adams, chairman of the
trustees, and c. H. Thompson presided.
The meeting opened with an organ vol
untary by F. c. Letsinger, which was fol-
lowed by cornet solo by Sewall Morse,
anthems by the choir, solos by f. II. Mil
Ter, responsive reading led by c. II.
Thompson, prayer by S. w. Kimball and
remarks by Mr.. Adams, Mr. Thompson
and eX-Gov. Frederick Hobrook. Judge
H. II. Wheeler, who was expected to
speak, was called elsewhere Mr. Thomp-
son and Mr.. Adams spoke in a congratu-
latory way, and applause was given when
Mr.. Thompson announced the result of
the committees work. The substance of
eX-Gov. Holbrook's remarks, which were
largely reminiscent, is published on an
other page.
