ST. ALBANs DISTRICT REPORT.
The report of Superintendent w. e.
Dukeshire, of St Adams district was in
part as follows:
One year ago l was made superintend-
ent Of St Adams district. Aware of my
limitations I have known how Paul felt
when he exclaimed, "And who is sufficient
for these things? and again have
known how he felt when he said, Having
obtained help from God / continue unto
this day"
My predecessor. the Rev. William Shaw
turned over to my care - churches where
services are held during the summer
months, organized into Sc charges and
| every charge having a pastor. Though
! some changes have taken place in the
| personnel Of the pastors every charge has
had a pastor every day during the year
Early in the fall the Rev. c. s Quimby
who had been appointed as preacher in
! charge Of our church at Iiighgate, Wa
! released to attend Drew Theological
! school and W II. Gould, now a student OF
| the University Of Vermont at Burlington
! was secured az supply for that church.
| During the past year the Death AngeI
| has not entered any parsonage home. No
retired preacher. no wife. or widow of
any retired preacher has been discha rged
| from the Church Militant.
! Our parsonage homes have enjoyed in
| an unusual degree the blessings of good
| health. And Yet to some OF our parson-
age homes sickness has come with all its
attendant anxeties, burdens and suffer
| ingS. Mrs, W, T, Best, wife OF our broth
or pastor at Morrisvllle, sought surgical
| help in our deaconess hospital at Boston.
Hopes are entertained for her perfect re-
| covery.
| The Rev. q. II. Sisson, the new pastor
| OF our church at Essex Junction, was
taken Ill with pneumonia soon after be-
! ginning his work The germs of this
| dread disease being driven from his lungs
but not annihilated rallied their forces
! for one last desperate assault upon our
brothers throat giving him serious trou-
bic during the early autumn, but through
the effects of a new scientific treatment
u real cure is being effected.
Not boastfully but gratefully do ] say
that no sickness, not even for a single
hour has hindered me in my work dur.
| ing the year.
STRONG LAYMEN HAVE FALLEN.
Ii has not been so in all the homes OF
our people Strong laymen have faler
as mighty cedars fall in the forest. leaving
a clear space against the sky. Chauncey
Temple strong, loyal burden bearer OF
our church at st. Adams passed on tc
the higher service early in the confer.
ence year J. Addison Dodds, strongest
| choicest layman Of our little church al
| North Hero island, crossed the bar in tn,
| midst of summer and met his Pilot face
| to face.
