The work doing on the Congrega-
tional meeting house is carried on,
not alone on large gifts, but with the
aid of small sums that have come from
former members of the church or their

accompanied gifts of this kind. A re-
cent one comes from the West, from a
| family in which the deceased wife and
mother had, in an earlier day, been a
member of this churcn. She went
West and married and her children
had grown up there. hearing their
. mother tell of the love she was still

should be to the multitude of other
churches that so much love is surely
being cherished for them, by former
members.

We surely are not alone in our sor-
Tow at the thought that Rev. DIR. Will
liam S. Hazen of Mortified ieels that
the time has come for him to end his
long pastorate there. We sincerely
hope his church will not resign"
