CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
The meeting of the Mems Associa-
ton last Thursday evening was a
wonderful success. Those who were
not there surely missed something
really worth while. The speaker of
the evening was Henry F. Merrill of
Portland. Mr.. Merrill gave most
interesting and instructive address
on community spirit and community
work. He also spoke briefly about
the state pier. 1t Is hoped that at
some future date Mr.. Merrill will
speak more fully on the state pier to
the citizens of North Arson.
Much credit is due Mr.. Bunker for
obtaining Mr.. Merrill on this occa-
sion. Mr.. Merrill was accompanied
by Mrs. Merrill and were entertained
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker.
