%. This being Mrs. Rowley's birth
day, a little surprise was planned for
her. About forty ladies were there.
This was the first surprise to see so
many out at the sewing society. The

she was enjoying a birthday party,

people and her organization of the
G. E. society. Mrs. E. A. Dutton told

The annual roll call of the Congre-
gational church was held Saturday,
when 70 people sat down to bounti-
full dinner served by the ladies of the
church. The afternoon session was
devoted to reports from the various
organizations of the church. The to-
tai amount raised by all sources for
the year 1918 amounted to $1579.
With all bills paid there is now a bal
ance in the society treasury of $71.50.
The average attendance at the Sun
day morning service for the year was
70: at the Christian Endeavor meet
ing, 50; at the mid-week prayer
meeting, %; and 183 pastoral calls
were made. Fifty-one members re-
sponded to their names when the roll
was called. Seven members were add
ed to the church in 1918 and we trust
that more additions will be made in
the coming year. The Congregation
al church on Craftsbury Common is
not large but thriving. The follow
ing officers were elected: Clerk and
treasurer, Dea. E. A. Dutton: trus-
tee and auditor, Dea. N. B. Williams:
