 There may be some lazy. quiet, sleepy country villages in old New England but Falls Village Is not one of them, not this winter at any rate. With banquets, dances, whist parties, chicken pie SUD- pers and other social gatherings follow ing one another in rapid succession, the 'burgh has been remarkably lively of late. And at every one of these gather ings pleasure and enjoyment were abundant.
 It goes without saying that the chicken pie supper, held in the Metho- dist church last evening was we'll at tended, that the menu was palatable and attractive and that everyone had a good time. This church established a reputation along these lines some time ago and is sustaining it.
 Read the article on page one by I. N. Bartram of Sharon wherein he suggests that the old Battle Hill Methodist church, near this village be restored, as far as possible, to its original state and maintained as 8 monument to Metho- dlsm, by the Methodists of New Eng land inasmuch as this was the first Methodist church constructed in New England. It was built in 1793. It would, we presume, be MT. Bartram' . idea, that the Falls Village Methodist church should have general oversight of the building and that some of the vAri- ous gatherings of this denomination which are not held in stated places, should be held here. We believe it q good idea. What say you, Methodists of Falls Village? THE NEWS would be pleased to receive 8 communication from one or more people residing here as to the advisability of the move. MT. Bartrnm believes the building should be purchased by the New England Methodists in general and not by any one society in particular.
