A very pleasant surprise party was given to MT. and Mrs. William c. Manchester of Redstone Hill at the Sunday school session of the M. F. church yesterday morning when MT. Manchester was presented with handsome armchair and purse of money was given to Mrs. Man chester as tokens of the respect in which they are held by the congre- gation and Sunday school.
 An impressive incident during the morning was the scene presented when Mir. Manchester sat in the armchair and the children of the Primary department grouped about him and sang for him. Following this, they presented him with a large bouquet of flowers contained in a golden vase.
 MT. Manchester has been superin- tendent of the Sunday school for the past 42 years. This Is only one year less than the entire life of the school as 1t was organized just 4S years ago. Rev. Arthur A. Ball, pastor of the church, made the presentation of the gifts and in a few well chosen words expressed the appreciation of the church and school for his serv- ices over such a long period of years.
 In responce, Mir. Manchester nar- rated how the Sunday school began its services in tent on the church property and he stated also that Mrs. Manchester was one of the first teachers of the school. He expressed the desire that all would rally to- gether and cooperate with William A. Albright. the new superintendent, in making the Sunday school suc- cess. Mir. Manchester retired from the position of Sunday school super intendent with the regret but well wishes of not only the people of the NJ. F. church but of the town of Plainville.
