the church was the gift OF Queen
Anne. This was saved for many
years. but the records OF births. bap-
tisms, marriages and deaths were
destroyed.
Old residents of the community
enjoy telling tales of the church
which have come to them through
their grandfathers. They often re-
late the story of the mock funeral
that was held in the church at the
time of the death of George Wash
ington. The burial service was read
with as much feeling, and the CONN
was handled with as much care as
IL ii were the real final service for
the Father of Our Country.
Walls of the church are stained
with age, but the congregation
would have them changed under no
condition. for members feel the In
terror decorations, representing the
paintings of an old Grecian tenn
pie, could not be reproduced to har-
monize with the other antiquities
within the sacred walls.

Modern church-goers or missers,

day program a rather expensive
habit were they to turn back to the
days of their forefathers in the
vicinity of Pungoteague. Va.
Recently disclosed records of what
happened in the years soon-after St.
Georges Church was founded there
as an offspring of the mother church
of England in 1924. reyeal that an
absentee from a vestry meeting was
fined 20 shillings for failure OF
duty
. Passing of the plate may have
been a custom of that day. but the
minister's salary was assured to a
certain degree by the imposition of
a church tax on every planter and
trademan" above the age of 16 and
alive at the gathering of crops. This
tax, which applied to everyone on
the plantations throughout the dis
trict, was ten pounds of tobacco and
one bushel of corn, to be donated
by each person. For preaching a
funeral service a minister received
100 pounds of TOBACCO. II the minis
ters could have turned their to-
bacco into cash at the present-day
prices-while prices of other COM
modities remained on the old-time
basis-the business of spreading
the gospel could have been consid-
cred a money-making proposition.
Another interesting fact revealed
by recent search of the old records
shows that in 1884 Henry Charlton,
one of Rev. Cotton's flock, and a
member OF a distinguished family,
was ordered by the court to build
himself a set of stocks and sit in
them several Sabbaths in succession
during divine service, for SANDER

AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER.

Alison scarcely heard what Gwen
was saying after that one sentence:
-Diane has eloped with Warren
Bradley"
She held the receiver to her ear
and heard herself extending SYM
pathy and comfort mechanically.
But her heart was singing paean
of relief to the refrain: 1T wasn't
Larry! 1t wasn't Larry!" Z
She had not admitted even to her
self how tortured she had been by
the belief that il was Larry who
had run away with Diane Evans
She tried to bring her mind to
toaus on what Gwen Parker was
telling her:
