whole time to the society which met
i'm a hail. Subsequently Mr.. Marshall
accepted the call to Massachusetts and
the North Deering society has since
hired a pastor with other churches. In
the meantime the work of building q
church was taken up and successfully
carried on and the church dedicated in
due form. Now the society feels the
need of a man who can devote his en-
tire time to the needs of the parish.
1t is understood that this society has
also, in line with the example set by
the WoOdfOrds Universalist church de-
cided that hereafter no entertainments
and dramas shall be given in the
church vestry as a source of revenue
for the support of the church work.
Subscriptions have recently been re-
ceived and it is said that enough has
already been secured to make 1t posi-
BILE to carry on the work for one year
at least without resorting to fairs and
entertainments to raise church funds.
