WELCOMED HIM HOME

CONGREGATIONAL society Extends n
Warm Greeting 10 Rev. Myers.
At the Congregational church last eve
ming the members of the church and a
number of others gathered at the church
TO extend welcome home to their pastor,
Rev. N. j. Myers, who reached home last
sunday afternoon, after a two months
sojourn in Europe.
The church had been most beautifully
and tastefully decorated by Lauren j.
Myers, our artistic young decorator, and
the scheme of decoration was more than
appropriate. The guest assembled in the
lecture room at first and when the crowd
had gathered they we're invited to come
up stairs to the audience room. Upon
reaching the audience room the assembly
found themselves in darkness. Soon there
came to their ears the American bugle
call followed by the touching strains OF the
Star Spanged Banner" and as the
sweet strains rolled from the organ grad
ually there appeared across the front OF
tine church, in dimmest outline at first,
the words Welcome Home, and the out
line Of "Old Glory OF sudden, a red
light flashed and Miss Marie Reed stood
on a pedestal draped in white and holding
flag as the Goddess of Liberty.
Red, white and blue festoons we're in
evidence everywhere while above each
window slowly appeared the flags of the
various countries through which Messrs.
Myers and Spencer have travelled. the
entire decorations forming as attractive a
welcome as ever fell to the lot of anyone
returned from foreign shores.
Short addresses we're made by E. B
Lapham, Byron Brown, Revs. Myers
Maxfleld and Winter and A, L. Spencer
III of which we're heartily received. Little
Vivian Steele as "Dinah Lee" gave two
pokaninny sketches that greatly pleased
all present. At the close Of the program
the ladies served punch and waters while
all present spent social half hour in hap
by Fluctuations.
The decorations will be left up over
Sunday and Rev. Myers will preach botf
morning and evening
