At the Baptist church last Sunday the morn
ing and evening services were of unusual inter-
est as the last before the departure of the
pastor, Rev. Walter F. Sturtevant, and family,
for their new home in Manchester, N. H. At
the beginning of the morning service Mr.Sturte-
want addressed the junior congregation, so
dear to him, and with whom he has worked so
untiringly and with such remarkable results
and whose fondness for him is far reaching,
The junior quartette-the four little daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel A. McLeod-furnished
music and Mr.. VIM. N. Lower rendered two
clarinet solos. The sermon was on "Friend-
ship" In the evening there was Fellowship
service in which the pastors of the city
churches took part. Rev. Haraden s. Pearl,
Congregationalist, spoke on "Church Unity,
Rev. Horace B, Sellers, Methodist, on "Chris-
tianlty not Churchinity", and Rev. Arthur E.
Wilson, Unitarian, on "The Community IDEAL"
While all took different subjects the main
thought in their remarks was the good fellow
ship that had existed among the local clergy
and church membership. and that as long as
there is diversity of opinion among individuals
there will be different churches and creeds,
but the aim of present-day Christianity is to
not forget the individual home church. In
closing they bade Mr.. Sturtevant an official
goodby and wished him God speed in his new
field of labor. Mr.. Sturtevant made brief but
eloquent response. The church was decorated
with sprays of asparagus and bush hydrangeas.
