Much credit is due Deacon W. H.
Brackett, chairman of the joint
board, for the pray erful and faithful
wisdom and discretion shown in the
matter that when first confronted
seemed SO formidable of securing a
pastor''for the federated church. Pas
tor Earl W. Darrow's resignation was
read and accepted October II. Many
applications were received and four
cand idates we're heard; the last one
on two successive Sundays. All
formalities have been observed, a
unanimous call given and accepted,
and on January I'd Rev Charles A.
Parker of New Castle,N H., preached
his first sermon as pastor of the
federated church. Ten weeks, in.
oluding Christmas, during which all
harmoniously under the charge of the
regular officers and beautiful spirit
shown has been manifested by all.
This appreciation by member of the
board will be heartily endorsed by all
