DU M M ERS TON.
Left a fearless Congregation.

On Sunday Nov. II, 1909, the much
criticised and greatly offended pastor
of this people preached what may
properly be called his indignation ser
mon in which he severely denounced
the church because they had not sus-
tanned him and did not appreciate the
services of thousand dollar preacher
who had faithfully ministered to their
spiritual wants for the past two years
for half the value of his services. On
being asked why he selected commun-
ion day for giving the church such
castigation his reply was that it was
the only opportunity he would have of
getting so many of the church mem
bers together. Probably there is not
in all New England, New Hampshire
excepted, at the present time a con
secrated and efficient minister who
has the fool-hardiness to preach such
a sermon from the pulpit at a commun-
ion service or on any other occasion.
The sequel of that ill-timed and i'll
tempered discourse was a farewell ser
mon preached December Goth when
the pastor took leave OF a fearless
congregation. He did not say it but
his actions betrayed the sentiment eX-
pressed in the following benedictlon:
Dear old distracted town farewell,
Ye folks no more I'll tease,
This year in peace ye critics dwell
Ye people sleep at ease.
Shortly afterwards he made the pre-
diction that the church doors would
probably be closed for the winter. IN
order that the evil prophecy might net
come to pass the Christian Endeavor-
ers took charge OF the Sunday religious
services after the pulpit was vacated
and the meetings have been we'll sus-
tanned since that time. Las Sunday
was the ninth meeting held under
Christian Endeavor management. The
average attendance at church for that !
period is So and for the same mid |
winter period one year ago, when the |
church was under the management of |
an acting pastor, the average attend |
ance for nine Sundays was So

day seemingly as well as usual Her
lifetime was spent in this town where

tcularly interested in the COngrega-

ant old places kept up in a manner
creditable to the town. Mr.. Morse
died ten years ago. For many years
Mrs. Morse's sisters, Misses Mary and
Sophia Fits, had union home with
the Morses, and it is somewhat singu-
lar coincidence that all three sisters

years ago to the day of Mrs. Morses
funeral Mrs. Morse was the last
of her family, there being but a second
cousin left on her side of the house
Mrs. Morse left an only child, Mrs.

ing y callas. The burial was in
