| the Connecticut river were broken into
| within the past week or 10 days. the

ergreen. A double ring service was

| A movement is beginning for parish
house and enlarged Sunday school quar-

| church. For some time the idea has
been in contemplation, but its first pub

| something of the kind ought to be ded-

! church. The church was organized July

little less than four years The need OF
| more room for the Sunday school is
| very urgent and some of the rooms are
| filled twice every Sunday morning, the
1 youngest children occupying them for
| their lessons while the older children
| are attending the opening services in
the church. Glass rooms are needed be-

| movement is along the line of what has
been done by multitude of progressive
