AT DANVILLE.
AnnunI Church Meeling,

The annual meeting OF the Congrega-
tional society and church was held in the
vestry Thursday. The society meeting
came before dinner and Charles S.
Ranney was moderator, with ]. E.
Tinker as clerk. A careful and business
like statement of financial conditions
was presented by the treasurer and
committee. The sho wing was on the
whole satisfactory. The usual expenses
have been met and the church edifice has
been painted. A portion of the balance
still due on the painting was provided
for by those present. Over so sat down
TO dinner and the social hour proved
very enjoyable. The annual meeting OF
the church opened about two O'Clock,
with Rev. 6. H. Cummings as moderator.
The clerk, Mrs. Mary D. Currier, reported
the net membership same as one year
ago, viz, 1856. The various organiza-
tions of the church reported, through
secretary and treasurer, the work OF the
year in educational, missionary or social
lines. Good work has been done. The
home department of the Sunday school
began the year with a membership OF
about % and now has over 20. The
church treasurer reported the benevolent
offerings passing through his hands, and
additional sums reported from other
sources make the gifts OF the year reach
a total of about 1926. The pastors
report reviewed the changes occurring
during the year and paid deserved
tributes to those who had passed from
active service by reason OF death or
removal. He called attention to needed
work, that promises a sure reward.
! Then came the roll call, by many regarded
as the principal event of the day. About
90 responded in person or with some
! message, written or quoted. The COM
mittee on rules made report of progress
and was continued. A committee on
benevolence was appointed. Pictures OF
Rev. Charles K. Tracy and wife, together
with description of their field of labor,
were distributed to givers. Officers and
committees of church and society were
quite unanimously reelected. Church
| day proved success.
