1t is probable that the school closed

At least there is no record of anything

Through his efforts the school was
again started and January g. 1886,

him from the city.
In March, 1863, Charles H. Dillaby
was elected assistant superintendent,
and acted as superintendent from
April to September, in 1871, when he

Mission Circle.
May IA, 1895, witnessed the organ
ization of the Mission Circle as one
of the auxiliary bodies of the church.
Its objects are "To promote more eff
cient work in this parish and state,
and to cultivate tht missionary spirit
and enterprise in our midst; to raise
funds by annual dues, donations, or
requests for the use of missions; to
distribute UNCONVENTIONAL literature;
to assist in benevolent enterprises un-
dertaken by the church, and in all
practical ways to work in the spirit
Of Christ to elevate and benefit all
classes needing material or spiritual

The beautiful ivy which now graces
the church was planted by the Mis-

Conclusion.
AS we pass out of this building to-
day it will be for the last time, as
services are to be held here no more.
This spot which has been hallowed
and consecrated for SO years. now
we may well believe that honesty, fair
ness and justice to all shall ever be
the rule, and that the teachings of
this society, church, and Sunday school
shall never fail.
Let US go forth with the banner of
the Christ before US and wherever we
shall reunite for services let us be
determined to be faithful, loyal and
true, and resolved to labor together
with God and Christ for the highest
good.
The farewell service was accompao-
fed by a tfnge of sorrow by many
OF the members, as they had been as
soclated with the many organi cations
in that building all their life, and the
thoughts Of a separation brought back
memories of the eventful past
The services, until a new church Is
secured. will be held at the Buclzing-
ham Memorial.
The work of raising the building wifi
be started at, once, and the Chelsea
Savings bank will erect there a mod
