of the most successful years in its his
tory in 1921, not only in regard to
finances but in the various activities car
ried on by the numerous organizations.
The reports were made by the clerk and
treasurer and by officers of the various
departments. The meeting was held at
the Community house.
The meeting was called to order by the
pastor, Rev. Alexander H. Abbott, fol-
, lowing a delicious chicken pie supper
served by the Woman's guild under the
direction of Mrs. John Kukla, chairman
of the committee. There were about 800
who sat down to the beautifully decorat-
| ed tables and the majority stayed to the
| business session.
| The first matter of business was the
/ election of church officers for the ensuing
| year. The deacons elected were Herbert
| W. Gallup, Herbert B. Cary and Frank
| A Bill. all of whom are elected for three
years, and William W. Sample, who was
| elected to fill QUIT the unexpired term of
two years of Thomas Browning. who was
removed by death. Dwight L. Allen was
| reelected clerk. and Frederick W. Lester
| was reelected treasurer. The other Off
GERS elected were: Assistant treasurer,
| John H. Sherman; custodian of the trust
funds, Nathan A. Gibbs; trustee, Henry
| G. Peck; auditor. John H. P erkins

an member of the executive council

been an office rof the church society fol
over 10 years In recognition of hi:
| faithful and efficient service as leader Of
the church school activities the schoo
presented him a handsome mahogany ant
tan reading lamp. Nj. Gallup was over

officers of tie various church depart
ments were then read. the report of tn
treasurer showing that the receipts of tn
church during the year were approx
mately $4,000. Routine business wa
then transacted and the budget for tn
coming year approved.
In closing the meeting Rev. Alexande
H. Abbott spoke of t.le wonderful prog
ress made by the church not only in tn
matter of finances and increase in mem
bership but in the welding of the force
of the church into a mechanism for tn
progress Of religion, the fundamenta
principle of the church. The opportunit
in. the United Congregational church t
interpret the meaning of religion to III
present generation is great. We hav
the mechanism, the gathering of til

a sthe main principle in life. Let US nc
depart from this path and keep hammer

f | church, the Interpretation of religio
through our lives as we'll as through tn
| spoken word.

hospital on January u. having swallow
ed several poison tablets while in
room with her husband in a hotel here.
Mr. Ryan. IN American newspaper cor
respondent, was taken into custody by
the police the following day and is still
held by them, although until today no
formal complaint had been filed against
him
There have been various conflicting
versions Of the circumstances surround
ing Mrs. Ryans swallowing the poison.
She is said to have told the police that
when her husband returned to Paris
unexpectedly from India he told her he
was ready to grant rer a divorce, but
wanted her to go with him for a fare
well dinner. Mrs. Ryan accompanied
her husband to his hotel after the din
ner, when, according to her story to
the police, he accused her of infiledi-
ty and forced her at the point of knife
to swallow the poison. Then he stabbed
himself in the neck, although not seri-
ously.
Mr.. Ryan. however, mas firmly pro-
tested his innocense, denying all his
! wife's statements. He told the e:.min-
| ing magistrate he had made no threats
against his wife. He said he had told
| her iokinsly that he had poison in his
hand bag when she said she did not
want to live, but he thought she was
pretending when she actually took the
poison.
