story of the towns growth as follows: 1t
was built on the land formerly occupied
by the Knowles Farm. the Old Brown
Farm. and d large part of the Devine
property. It was fine example of the
railroad building city. In this case the
railroad christened the town as well.
The name Kensington is taken from the
beautiful little hamlet of Kensington,
in England Some one of the directors
OF the road must have been charmed
by this English village. for he changed
the name from Knowles Station TO the
present Kensington. The town was in
corporated in 1894. It has lad five may
ors since them. B. Martin. r. B. Diet
rick. George Peters. Cornelius w. Clum.
and the present incumbent. Cornelius
Eckhart. who has served for enc year.
Thee Protestant Churches.
There are three churches in the town
of Kensington. The Methodist Episco-
pal Church. of which the Rev. Thomas
E. Copes is pastor, is one of the largest,
numbering one hundred souls. The pres
ent church has stood for six years. ana
is the outcome of an older building.
There are several fourishing societies
in connection with the church
The Episcopal Church is called Christ
Church Mission. and the pastor is the
Rev. David Barr. The Rev. James I.
Marshall is pastor of the Presbyterian
Church of Remington. The congrega-
ton is about as li.rge as that of the
Methodist Episcopal parish The church
building is of frame. and is considered
a handsome structure. 1t has bell
tower about a hundred feet high, and
is commodious and beautifully finished
within and without. What Is noticeable
about all the three churches is the
neighborly spirit that exists between
them Each renders the other assist
ance in lawn fetes or affairs of the
kind and there is a genuine feeling of
satisfaction when one church is success
full in any undertaking that looks to
its improvement.

inspiration and an incentive. We re-
joice in seeing the United States take
precedence of the old-world monarch

With such an object lesson before

The country is awake, wide awake, and
everybody seems imbued with the idea
OF a glorious destiny. We are praying,

and the other Ave feet four inches.
