We are requested to print the following
article taken from the Express and Stand
ard: The Cong. church have secured Rev.
Mr.. Barnard for their pastor. Mr.. Barnard
will supply the pulpit from now on.
Rev. Henry t. Barnard was born in EX-
eter, Penobscot Co., Me-, and with his
parents moved to Lowell, Mass, in 1852.
M r. Barnard was fitted for college in the
Lowell High School, having for one of his
class mates the late Gov. Greenhalge of
Massachusetts,. Mr.. Barnard gave up his
college course to enlist IN the service of
the United States, July 1862, and was hon
orabIy discharged from the service. The
war of the Rebellion nearly changed his
course in life as at the close of his service
he entered into commercial life. His draw
ing toward the ministry, however, con-
tinued and he entered the Cobb Divinity
School at Lewiston, Me-, in 1876. He was
ordained to the ministry in June, 1880 at
Cssipee, n. H., and has had pastorates in
that town, Brockton, Mass, Jericho,
West Rutland and Bradford, Vermont.
In all of his pastOrates he has had N ore
than an average success. In BrOckton he
took hold Of a mission in 1884, and in three
years time organized a church, erected
church ed1fce and brought the church self
support. IN West Rutland he was sue
cessful in raising money to pay off six
thousand dollar debt, while in all OF his
pastorates there have been large accessisons
to the mem bership. During the last pas
torate at Bradford, 68 have been re-
ceived to the membership of the church.
Mr. Barnard is connected with the fra
ternities to considera BILE extent, being
Mason to the degree of Knights Templar,
q member of the Independent Order Of
Odd Fellows, and the Grand Army
Of the Republic, having been chaplain
of the Department of Vermont in 1891.
His wife Harriet B. Mitchell of Bidde-
ford, Ne, who was an accomplished mu-
sic teacher, both vocal and instrumental,
and she has been of great help to her hus-
band during his ministry. They have had
one daughter, who died Sept. IS, 1884,
leaving a son, Henry Barnard, Stafford,
who has always lived with Rev. and Mrs.
Barnard. Mr.. Barnard leaves his present
passionate because of the late financial en-
barrassment of the town and his church.
During his five years ministry i'll Bradford,
he has raised $500 for the church and $500
for missions. The church feel that in the
choice of Mr.. Barnard they have secured a
strong leader and one who will be well
coined to the Orleans County conference.
