DORSET

Many who attended the laying OF
the corner stone of the new church
at Dorset on August 20. found their
hearts and memories full of hallowed
recollections of the old meeting
house" which was burned from an UNI
known cause .on the morning of No
vember "a, 1907. 1t was simple
frame structure, painted white, with
green blinds over the windows. The
inside of the building had passed
through various metamorphoses that
it might coincide with the changed
tastes of progressive age. We
doubt not if the luxurious modern
church on which so mucn time and
money is to be expended. is attended
by as devout. praying, practical peo-
pie as the old meeting houses, a rich
blessing will be realized. The histor-
ical sketch contained in this
issue of the Banner, was prepared
WITH much painstaking by Allan
3ourn of Yonkers, n. Y, whose sum-
mer residence is at Dorset and who
has spent much time in consulting old
records for statistics. Mr.. Bourn has
always shown a substantial interest
in town and church matters and is
never wanting in faithfulness. The
corner stone will be inscribed with
the dates 17S4--1909, marking the or
ganization of the church society of
Dorset and East Rupert, and tne be-
ginning of the new building. 'The
metal casket will contain a Bible, a
picture of the old church, list of do
nors and subscribers, the history of
the church and other objects of inter
est. Deacon Gilbert NJ Sykes has the
honor of laying the stone, he being
the oldest officer of the church.
