Former Pastor Becomes coIporteur and Evangelist-Sunday Services.

A former pastor of the Baptist church here, Rev. Charles L. Snow, who for five years has been pastor of the church in Hopllinton, N H., has resigned, to become colporteur and evangelist for the New Hampshire state convention, succeeding Rev. George H. Watt. MT. Snow was or dained here and was not only an ex- cellent pastor but an organizer with the evangelistic spirit and well fitted for this larger field of activity.
 Sunday there was a down pour, so the attendance at Bible school and church service was small. The pas tor, Rev. MT. Parker spoke admirably, his topic being Christ Before Pilot, showing how down through the ages the great truth that the judgment of the world has made clear is that it was Pilot before Chrst.
