About so sat down to the excellent sup
per OF the Christian brotherhood in Beth
any Parish house Monday evening and
after the repast listened to remarks from
n. M. Wilson on what the Brotherhood
should try 10 do for this community the
coming year. One of his points was the
loyal support this club Of men at least
should give TO the police and other public
officials attempting to maintain Law and
order, instead OF the opposition the officers
are quite apt to meet now In the dis
charge OF their duties on account OF the
sympathy the offender is more likely to
receive than the condemnation he merits
for his unlawful deeds. Rev. DR.. v. M.
Hardy Ct Morrisville, former pastor Of
the Cong'l church In Randolph, was pres
} ant a the supper aud was heard with
