THE WINDHAM COUNTY REFORMER, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1908
LEYDEN.

The dance Of Friday evening was a
pleasant social affair Music by Tay.
lor's orchestra. People from the neigh
boring towns attended.
Quite an excitement was raised in
town at the time OF the severe shower
of June 10, when Clarence Brigham
was missed from his home and it was
feared he was drowned in the neigh
boring stream, which was very high.
1t was later discovered that he had
been sleeping on the hay NOV.
The presiding elder, G. W. Richard
son, made his first visit here June 81,
but the day being so very stormy a
small audience greeted him. The quar-
terly conference was held at the par
sonage Saturday evening where pleas
ant social time was enjoyed as the
wives of the official board were in
vited.
Rev. f. d. Lane Sunday took for
his subject "The influence of great
men as shown in the life of John Wes-
ley, the founder of Methodism. " He
answered the charge that has often
been made that the Methodist denom-
ination sprang out of ignorance by
saying that the first nine members
were graduates of Oxford university.

Some from Greenfield, Colrain, Mil
lers Falls and Guilford, Vt, were no.
