DONNELLY- NUPTIALS


 The Christian Endeavor society of the Plainville Congregational church has issued a challenge to churches throughout the vicinity to compete for the largest attendance honor. The challenge has been accepted by the Christian Endeavor societies of the South Congregational church at New Britain, Newington and Kensington. The new venture was brought up by President Carl Moore of the local society. It will cover the average at- tendance of the members at the meet ings during the remainder of this month and December. The contest will probably close on Christmas day. The society that has the smallest at tendance will give a social and supper to the winners.
 The average attendance of the PlainviNe society is about 25 or more while there is a membership of 32. During the past year President Moore has started some novel plans which have been worked out with much suc- cess. One of his plans is to divide the society into teams.
