ST. JOHNSBURY CENTER.

The Congregational church at this
place has been presented with very fine
communion service with Individual cups
by Agnes S. Nichols, Julia S. Colby,
Isabel and Harold Shorey, in memory
of their parents, Moses B. and Charlotte
Frost Shorey. They were for many
years worthy members of this church;
Mr.. Shorey was bass singer in the quar-
tet that sang here so many years and
we'll merited the praises that were given
them for their excellent music. Mrs.
Shorey was much in christian work and
did all she could to help forward the
church organization that had in view
the upbuilding of Christs kingdom in
the world. The church would most
heartily thank the donors for this gift,
so expressive of their good will and
reverence for the church and the love
they have for their parents, in perpetual
ing their memory. At the communion
next Sunday this service will be used for
the first time.
