A Worthy Record.


During the early part of his ministry he
spent several years lecturing Tor the state
temperance society. He has ever kept
abreast of the times and is always an in
teresting and entertaining speaker, not
withstauding his four score years. In
the years he has been stationed here, he
with his most estimable wife have ever
worked for the best interests of the
church and the community and the West
Concord charge may well feel the honor
that the last service he rendered as
a preacher fell to them. AS they leave for
their new home, the well wishes of their
friends, not only in the Methodist church,
but ia the Universalist and the commu-
nifty as well, go with them. There has

harmony existing between the the two

Mr.. Smith, pastor of the Universalist
church.
