ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ECCLEsIAs-
 TICAL SOCIETY.
 At the annual meeting of this eccle- siastical society, Congregational held at the church, on Monday forenoon of the present week, the following off, cers were elected for the year ensuing: Edward o. Sperry, Howard c. Hop kins, Herman o. Averill, committee.
 Sherman Cogswell, clerk and treas urer.
 Edward O. Sperry, collector.
 George McCan, Edward M. Taylor, tithing men.
 Harry Lyman, Ralph Averill, My ron Hopkins, ushers.
 After the election of officers, Walter Burnham introduced resolution to be adopted, reading in effect like this: Believing it to be for the best inter- ests of this church and society, be it resolved that the pastor of this church hereafter shall give his entire services to this church and SC ciety.
 Quite discussion arose among the members of the society present in re- gard to the feasibility of the plan, but the resolution was finally adopted by a vote of seven to six. The pastor will now be obliged to relinquish his con. nection with the New Preston Hill church., as pastor altogether, which means by present terms a reduction o1 the pastors annual income of $25O We have hoped, in past years, thai eventually the New Preston Hill SO ciety might further combine with the church here as to result in one churcf only, with the fund which has helped , to support the New Preston Hill church, turned over to this village' ecclesiastical society. By the passing of this resolution, we may safely con clude the change of fund is put mucl farther away in the dim future. Flo several years, the two churches hay seemed to work in unanimity with on !. pastor over both churches, and there ] by has given both churches a bette :. pastor than either church can expec r alone for it's salary paid. No seriou
 objection has been offered to the abov s plan till the resolution passed was ir n troduced on Monday, then it was al
 serted that the Sunday school hel
 has suffered in attendance and inte " est by the want of the pastors atten'

BREEZY TOPICS FROM THE BRIDGE.
 Cornwall Bridge people passed quiet Christmas. Rev MT Stevens gave an excellent address on the usual Christ mas topics.
 Dr Stevens had the pleasure of vis- it from his father over Christmas.
 My1on I. Willard is on the sick list and is trying the skill of the new doc- tor.
 Mrs Eva Bacon of Arlington, N. J., is visiting her son, Douglas, at Albert Halls.
 William Marvin of Derby was home over Christmas. The large clock at O'Dell's was won by George Dougherty, in the guessing contest.
 The sleighride and supper of last week for the benefit of the church was we'll patronized and proved an enjoy able affair. It is all right to go sleigh ing if you don't wear glasses, so those that were in the habit of so doing, left their glasses off for the time being, and as you all know glasses are liable to get broken, especially in the bot tom of a sleigh. We'll, never mind, boys, Peabody, the optician, will be | here in few days. An auction at the late residence of Wilson P. Sturges closed out the per. sonal property of said estate, the 22d inst.

corps Of lady assistants, who nave VOL unteered to assist as teachers and workers to hold up the hands of their and to draw in as many children to the school as possi- ble. There is no reason to believe this interest on the part of the lay members will cease during the year to come and we have sincerely hoped the spirit manifest on the part of the la dies would be extended to the opposite sex, who have for years shown too strong desire to reach their homes immediately after the morning ser mon and leave the affairs of the Sun day school more entirely in the hands of the ladies of the congregation. Now the men of the church, when the mat ter is pressed home closer to their at- tention and conscience, desire to place their responsibility for the success or failure of the school upon the person of their pastor and say plainly, if not in words, "Just let us go home and sit quietly by our tiresides still, but you must stay, and you must see that the Sunday school has your best efforts for thorough success and growth. A few elderly ladies have felt for long time the lack of their pastor to lead and in- struct a Bible class and with the other duties of the school, you must expect to attend to that personally each Sun- day. Finally as a reward, you must relinquish all other duties and servic- eS outside our church, whereby you have in the past added $250 to your annual income, and let your entire service be devoted to this church and Sunday school.' Such seems to be the substance of the action of Monday. We await the result, to perceive if cheapening salary adds to the eff ciency of pastor or increases the spir. itual growth of a church. During the meeting above mentioned, the follow. ing resolutions were passed in memory of one of it's late members and CO., workers, Hon 0. P. Lyman:
 WHEREAS, The Great Head of the Church on the first day of the present month, by death removed Hon Charles P. Lyman, the junior member of this society's committee, and,
 WHEREAS, We desire to place upon the records of this society our appreci- ation of our loss. Therefore be it
 RESOLVED, That this society has lost valuable member, and this con- munity and commonwealth a public spirited citizen,
 REsoLvED: That we extend to the widow and four fatherless childrer our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their bereavement.
 RESOLVED, That the clerk of this society be and is hereby instructed te enter these resolutions on a memorial page in the records of this society an6 also send an attested copy to the wid ow, Mrs Nellie s. Lyman.
