been appointed by the war work council
Of the international committee of the
Y. M. c. A. as an expeditionary secretary
for work among the men in France.
Whether his assignment will be with the
American or French troops will be deter.
mined after he reaches that country.
Owing to the impossibility of calling
church meeting, because of the qlaran
tine, the church and prudential commit
tees voted to approve the granting of a
years leave of absence The securing of
a supply for the time is left with the
pulpit supply committee.

remain here for the present, but will
probably make other arrangements for
the winter

the church from Cliftondale, Mass and

1910. In addition to the usual church
work, in which he has been very success
full, Mr. Boicourt has been particularly
interested in the boy scout movement,
having large troop in his church. Along
this line he has been proficient in the
part, as well as the more Sc
rious limo of thar yvarE
A great interest in Y. NJ. C. A work
developed, two summers having been
spent at Silver bay, in the Y. NJ. C. A.
and young peoples work. This work in
France opens position which he feels
gives a great chance for Christian work
and for which Others feel he is admir-
ably fitted. While the church realizes
keenly the value of his services, yet not
one of the members would feel disposed
10 hold him back. They will still claim
him as pastor and wish for safe re-
turn to the church and people. Mr.. Boi.
,ourt had the unanimous endorsement of
