missionary organizations revealed by
reports an especially good work done,
both having met their appointments,
the churches, however, failing to come
up to the mark, and the ladies' aid So
cieties had good reports. For the So
| cieties, w b. Colt and A. b. Washburn
were elected trustees for the First
church and H. W. Morse, F. O. Ralph
and George Williams for the Second
church
But the great interest OF these meet
ings centered in action taken by both
churches toward union. Such action
was taken by the churches that mem7
bers Of the Second church should be re-
ceived to the fellowship OF the First
church, and the new place Of meeting

flee of the Second church. Thus do the
PRAYERS Of many seem answered and it
is to be hoped that new era Of fellow
ship in Christian work is to be com
menced in Brookfeld.
