connected with its early history and first
ministers IS OF special interest. A relative
OF its second pastor, when visiting in
Indianapolis, not long ago, came in
possession of a letter written May II,
1889, from New Berlin. Penn, by James
Merrill, eldest brother of the pastor, to
his brother Samuel in Indianapolis He
spoke with regret of the fact that Mr..
Worcester must soon retire from active
service, and of tie wonderful influence
MIR. Worcester had exerted on the town,
the church, and especially the young men
OF the place. He was mainly instrument

which most of them could never have

Manchester Won.

Company d met defeat at the hands of
evening by the score of SO to %. Com-
pany D did not play up TO their usual
form and this combined with hard luck
in shooting baskets kept their score
down. At times Company d would
work the ball up the hall by passing only
to fail to make basket by inaccurate
shooting. But they could not keep thes
spurts up against this heavy team for in
scrimmage they usually lost the ball
and it resulted in basket for Manches-
ter. This game was won with Manches-
ter having three points larger score than
last year but that was not what the
Manchester team worked for. Their
great rivals in the New England League
were the Lawrence team and the Man
chester team were trying to defeat Com
pany D by larger score than Lawrence
