 Westport. July 22-The rector Of one of the churches near the center and his parishioners are considering the closing of evening services for the re- mainder of the summer because a .zeighbor ,one of the towns best cfti- gems insists on having musicians play zt his home during the hours of even ling services It is said that the eff ,fcrts of the musicians so greatly dis fturb the services that it is impossible No hear the words of the preacher. Last Sunday evening and the Sunday lerening of the week previous 1t is said that the offences were committed. On ithe first Sunday it was believed that 1l was an oversight on the part of the tnetghbor but when there was repe- Kition last Sunday evening, the parish 4cners threw up their hands They consider now that the best move on ;Fheir part would be close up the Ehurch insofar as evening services are concerned for the remainder of the NTarTn season, that is if conditions keep GD as they have been for the past two Sundays and two prayer nights. With the windows of the church opened, and they have to be these warm even fngs, it is impossible to conduct ser Rices- Therefore don't be surprised if z local pastor makes announce knent during the week that for the bal ance of the season there will be no evening services Don't consider that st is because of the warm season, if fl were that the announcement would ezsve been made weeks ago, but be- cause of the above reasons.

He should consider that khe evening services never last more tEan three quarters of an hour start anE at 7-30 o'clock We would think much better of his Judgment if he re- A1-s.4 lime" Another gentleman, not mem her of the offended parish claims that the parishioners have not any taste For good music
