Furbush, Yale graduate, came to this church little more than year ago, and in this time he has made the church factor felt throughout the community. Beginning with small table in the vestibule for the distribution of helpful literature, the interest grew till, last fall. read ing room, with several hundred maga- zines and several daily papers, besides foreign books and papers, was opened in the pleasant dining room of. the church. This is open three evenings week and Sunday afternoon and is largely patronized. In connection with this work have been held concerts and recitals. So much interest has been aroused that the pastor set about, a few weeks ago, to establish public H. brary, as there was none in the town. Books were solicited throughout the community and last Wednesday evening the library was open to the public by an opening social at which more than $40 was realized for new books. AL ready about 300 books have been pro- cured, with the prospect of large ad- dition within few weeks. The towns people are taking great interest in this and already large portion of the
 families are subscribers. The church | is in the most fourishing condition for years. Eighteen new members were receive last year, most of them on confession. A new upright piano was purchased for the Sunday school last | fall and valuable painting by one ot the American masters was presented to the church few months ago.
