Settlement Rev. Peter McOscar Reappointed to
Pastorate-Hcse Company's Outing.

Rev. F. H. Decker, superintendent OF
ithe Fountain street church house, was
formerly pastor of the Congregational
church in Westerly. He recently made
appeal to some of his former parish
toner's here and the response was so
liberal that Rev. Mr.. Decker is almost
embarrassed
In the course of his missionary work
he came in contact with several young
women who are earnestly endeavoffng
to better their conditions, and he be-
lieved that they would be greatly bene-
fitted by some kind of an outing. He
communicated with friends in West
erly and the favorable responses far
outnumbered the supply of girls and
having sent to Westerly those ne had
prepared for, he is now looking for
other deserving cases in Providence
WHO will be sure of an outing or a
week or more in Westerly if they are
satisfactorily recommended to Mr..
Decker, as his former parishioners
here are glad to assist him in his spe-
cial missionary work.
