History discloses one remarkable
record. James May was one of the
first settlers of the town of Barton,
and Oliver Blodgett was the first dea-
con of this church. We have one
member of this church who is a great
granddaughter of both these persons,
Miss Fanny May, the esteemed town
clerk and treasurer of the town of
Barton.
[ have hastily sketched the life of
this church for the past 100 years. It's
membership and prosperity have
steadily increased from its organiza-
ton. It's membership at the present
time is 159.
What is to be the record of this
church for the next 100 years?
Without doubt this is the most
critical time the world has ever seen.
Everyone interested in democracy, in
liberty, realizes it is no time for in
dolence and idleness, but on the con-
trary, time for the most strenuous
work.
In my opinion, what is true of the
world, is largely true of the church
and Christianity. Many agencies of
late are working against the cause of
religion and religious instruction and
worship.
1t behooves everyone, who believes
in Righteousness, and the cause Of Je-
sus Christ, to put on the uniform of
Christianity and go to work.
