BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF
 NEIGHBORHOOD CHURCH.
Rev. E. O. Knowles Called as Pastor By Members Who Are Ready to
 Make New Start.
(special to Tbe Farmerl rl


 Stratford, Jan 31-After brea asting the waves of diversity for years, the Neighb orhood church in this town now bids fair to have fair winds and pleas ant sailing. The indebtedness of the church has been arranged so that it will not press the members continual ly The collapse of the plans to bring the church into the Unitarian denomination and make 1t a part of the great movement of that sect in this country, left the church without definite objects. There has been an earnest and SC f-sacrificing element in the church, however, which was will ing to make strenuous efforts to main tain the organization upon the orig inal lines. This element has persist ed and has finally succeeded in strengthening out all difficulties, and the church will now go ahead and ac- complish its work. This work is be- vid1ng a home for the many people in this town who have no church ho ne and who wish to meet and worship under the broad plan of Christian ity.
 At a business meeting of the mem bers of the church, held last Sunday after the regular service, it was voted to call Rev. E. c. Knowles. of Bridge port, to the regular past crate of the church. MT. Knowles has accepted, and will hereafter conduct the services ship Of this sorey troubled congre- gation- The new pastor is a lay preacher in the Methodist church. He Is a man of middle age, kindly in dis position and temperamentally fitted to take charg of the church. He has been preaching with success for F years. He was pastor of a church in Stepney for a year but was obliged to give up the work there on account of the distance from his home in Bridgeport. He has been engaged in evangelical work for many years and is widely known as an earnest and conscientious worker for the cause of Christ, and entirely unselfish in his motives He is now president of the Mems Christian Union, Q director in the Y. M. c. A., and superintendent of the Grace M. E. Sunday school in Bridgeport. He has preached in al- most every church in Bridgeport and has been heard in the M. E.. church in this town.
 The members of the church are much encouraged over the situation, and at a meeting of the members to be held next Sunday after the regu ar service the Deferred election of off cers will be held
 The church edifice is in fair condi- tion, and with a few repairs and a coat of paint it will be in first class order. The report that has been cir cuIated that the pipes had been frozen and that the heating apparatus was out of order, is denied by the church authorities who are at a loss to un- derst and how any such report gained publicity.
