of Christ, has been adopted by The

ton by the Cert,r Church, Congregation

Canoe of ibis action is that the church
has strictly held to Puritan orthodoxy
for more thsn two and halt centuries,
having been funded in 1888. New

explained by the church officers, the
purpose of The change Is to make the
