NORTH BROOKFIELD, Mass,
March 1.-THE metamorphosis of the
Union Congregational Church into a
fufl-fiedged Episcopal society will be
complete with the installation In the
near future Of a pastor appointed by
DR. Alexander H. Vinton, bishop Of the
Episcopal diocese of western Massa-
chusetts.
The unusual feature of the situation
is that the Union Congregational
Church, instead of being a tottering
religious body, deeply in debt and
with an editice sadly in need OF re-
pairs its only asset, has large and
prosperous congregation and one or
the finest houses of worship to be
found in a small town in the State.

Church was discussed and rejected

into the great American nation, are not

cision has been reached by the Bureau

been discovered that years pass before
