 The weather man was kind in providing perfect June day for the Universalist Sunday school picnic held at Forest Park, Springfield, last Thursday. The attendance was some- what affected by the prevalence of measles and whooping oaugh, several who had anticipated the pleasure of attending coming down at the last minute with one or both of these diseases. However company of fifty made the trip and the long ride on the perfect day was nearly as much enjoyed as the park and it's attractions. The rose garden was beautiful and engaged the attention of the older people while the children found the animals more interesting. The picnic was voted decided success from start to finish.
 The following is from recent copy of local paper in regard to the new pastor of the Baptist church: "Rev. F. A. Manderson who has been pastor of the Grafton Baptist church over two years, closed his pastorate on Sum- day. His sermon of wealth was deep, and he closed with touching words. MT. Manderson is noted for his excel lent sermons and his delivery exoelled the average clergyman. Both MT. and Mrs. Manderson possess rare musical talent, which has been highly esteemed. Mrs. Manderson sweetly sang a solo, "Pass It On" Their re. moval is a regret to the parish at large. The new field offers better and larger opportunities. The three little boys of unusual loving and manly discipline have won the hearts of their co-mates and the adults too. The closing hymn sung by the choir was ''Blest Be The Tie," the congre. gation joining. The family took their departure Tuesday for their new field in Stafford, accompanied by their ward, Miss Katherine Taft. ''
