The reception for Rev. Charles A.
Parker and Mrs. Parker was postponed
necessarily by the non arrival of their
goods from New Hampshire on account
OF freight congestion, and consequent
delay in settling the parsonage and
arrival of the family. All this has
| given time for consideration and for
plans and now more elaborate
gathering than was at first thought
OF is being arranged for. 1t has been
deemed wise to have a religious ser.
vice OF welcome, not only to the
church and town, but to the associ.
alton and state as we'll, inviting Rev.

A. B. Coates, the Congregational state
officers as we'll as neighboring pastors
notably Rev. Leonard Smith of Spring
| hill who has in his own felicitous
| way welcomed here in succession three
pastors by the name of Charles and
after the line was broken by an Earl
comes fourth Charles to whom it
seems fitting that he give the hand
| OF fellowship, and he has promised
to come. This with special music,
reception and supper would make the
occasion a notable one In order to
give Mr. and Mrs. Parker time to
send for their church letter and have
them acted on the meeting could not
be held before the 9th of March and
possibly week later. It has been
thought by some that the religious
service in the afternoon with supper
and reception and music in the even
ing would be a happy arrangement
lending proper dignity and max ing
the services interesting, impressive
and helpful. This concerns all, and
general interest and cooperation is
expected. If you have a suggestion
call Mrs. Brown, 617 ring and make
it known.
