Maine, pastor of the | Vernon Methodist church for the past two years, was appointed pastor of Uncasville Methodist church and left Vernon for his new charge last week. | Uncasville is a larger and more inn portant field of labor, and carries ! with it substantial increase in sal | ary. This promotion for Pastor Maine was we'll deserved and all are glad of his advancement. Nevertheless, his departure from Vernon is universally ! regretted, not only by the members of his parish, but by the people of Ver- non in general. MT. Maine entered so completely and sympathetically ! into the every day life of his people, calling upon them constantly in their homes. and always bringing with him such a spirit of oheerfulness and help ! fulness, that all feel that near and dear friend has gone from among us. ! The children would watch for his coming and run to meet and greet him, and the sick ones welcomed the l snnshina that he brought. Mr Maine !
