WEST CONCORD.



Rev. A. Nj. Smith has rendered his
resignation as paster of the Universalist
church and will move from here the first
of May. He will preach at East Mont
peller and Calais. In the removal OF MIR.
Smith the Universalist church sustains
a great loss. He was ever ready to
work, not only in the pulpit but out of
it. There was no work SO mental
about the church or during the repairs
on the church, but he was always there
working with the others, and many
times alone. He was ever at work at
home or at church and he has done many
deeds OF kindness to those outside the
parish, watched with the dead and the
dying, and stood ever ready to extend
the helping hand to those In need. He
has entertained very liberal and kindly
feelings towards other religious denom-
nations, and has never spiced his ser
mons with scurrilous attacks against
other churches. AS was said of MIR.
Granger, so is also said of MIR. Smith,
that the two churches were never so
united as during the past few years they
have labored here, and it seems almost
unfair to give up two such good min
listers the same month. 1t is only hoped
their Successors may prove as loyal and
true as they have. The best wishes OF
the many friends inside the church and
