nearly a year a Bible school and morn

both among the home-makers of Yer
mont Square and in the circle of Con-
gregational Church Extension leaders
With the interest manifested it seemed
imperative that a resident pastor
should be placed in the field. A young
man from New England and his wife,
Rev. and Mrs. c. r. Small, are now
in charge of the work.
Already the business of organizing is
under way. The women of the COM

society for social, educational and
benevolent work. A modern kinder
garten and primary department is be-
Ing started in the Sunday school by
