faith, spranE from an origin closely al
lied with denorninational influences.
The people OF Bolton considered them
selves rather conservative IA matters OF
religion. There were churches Of every
denomination in the little village. New
doctrines were regarded fearfully. On the
part of q few, however, the prided con-
servatism was regarded as the belief in
oid-fashioGed customs. The progressive
element advocated certain thoughts di-
rectly opposed TO the time-honored te-
nets and teachings Of the majority. Des-
pite the slow soing conservatism Of the
odd fOgies," as they were termed, they
were aroused 10 the highest pitch Of eX-
element. \ wave OF denomnational
strife swept the village.
Those who remained faithful to their
former doctrines saw with alarm that
their churches were losing members.
Then came trials for heresy and those
who were found guilty OF transgressioH
were OuSted from the congregations. And
then when II was - over and the VII
lage gossip turned 10 other channels it
was found that IN all there were about
twenty persons VINO had been turned out
of the churches and had lost the friend
ship of the former brothers and sis
tiers" on that account. Naturally when
they were regarded with disfavor By their
townspeOple they turned 10 each other

In order to prevent any possible conten-
tiOn an occupation WAS sought in which
all might engage. They established ho-
tel in BellrOn. The tOwnspeOple with the
customary readiness of unprogTessive
villagers TO predict failure for Il new
idea, shook their heads at the project
But the enterprise prospered despite these
d ill-Omeued comments. Then there was q
. reaction Of feeling. The differences in
the churches which led TO the establish
ment of The Commonwealth" were for
gotten. The organization carried on work
in many charitable and philanthropjc
lines. When the announcement was made
that THE Commonwealth would leave
TeNus and settle ia the North there were
. wholesale expressions Of regret.
IL was decided to settle in Washington.
Some time was spent IN securing a suita-
