A Community Church"

The town of Glover, in Orleans
county, seems to have solved the rur
al church problem-if indeed it is
really problem-in a highly salts

The town, according to the Barton
Monitor, from which we take our
facts, was afflicted with certain
signs and tendencies of degeneracy.
1t had two church edifces and the
remnant of three church organiza-
tions, but no resident pastor. Last
spring Rev. G. w. Douglass, a young
minister. was assigned to Glover.
The Monitor does not mention his
church membership. Some of the
leading people obtained pledges tow
ard years salary. some pledging
only after STIMULATING that the minis
ter must be a liberal thinker and

was pledged and the pledges are be
