markable success. He has been able
not only to interest people in the
church but also to raise funds for
build ng and repairing churches and
parsonages. He is at present at West
Enfield, where he is completing o
noteworthy work. Mr.. Young is a
man of sterling character and of
earnest religious convictions who al
ways takes a genuine interest in the
PEOPLE and the community in VIII CHI
he lebors.
He will begin his pastorate in Oc-
