The anniversary of the fortieth year
of the ordination of Rev. William s.
Hazen, DID,, pastor Of tire Oongrega-
tional church here was held on FRI
day afternoon. The program of the
exercises to be held at the church has
already been printed in these columns
and vas well rendered to about sever
ty-five people who assembled to greet
the pastor. The steady downpour of
rain kept many from attending and
had the weather been more propitious
doubtless the large auditorium of the
church would have been filed with
friends. The reception rendered the
pastor and his wife in the evening
was attended by a large number. An
interesting program was rendered con-
issting of an original poem by W. W..
Holden, music and short addresses.
Little Misses Marion Field and Emma
Davis, prettily gowned in white acted
as ushers. A purse of $50 in gold vas
presented to Mr.. Hazen representing
the forty years service and good meas
ure given the purse was swelled to $50.
All unite in wishing the pastor many
more anniversaries.
