ANOTHER DIVIDEND
Record of Payments Unbroken Since
First Shares Were Offered
IA Years Ago

Red envelopes bearing checks from,
the Pacific Power & Light company
were received thru the mail on May
1 by hundreds of local people. The
money was the regular dividend paid
by the company every three months
to its Preferred stockholders. These
dividends amount to seven per cent
on each dollar invested.
Many of those to whom checks were
mailed are new investors and realiz-
ed for the first time the advantage
of placing money where it earns more
money. 1t is believed that the Pacific
Power & Light company in its sale of
preferred stock has taught the bene-
fits of investment to hundreds. Others
who received checks, however, have
owned shares of this stock since it
was first issued and have always re-
ceived their dividends every three
months.

In 1883. under the past0rats If Rev. ! b L. Brown. the church was renovat- ed. and the present opera chairs in- trodueed into church and vestry Co take the place of the old pews. 4 new organ for the church was also pur- chased at that time. The outlay for repairs and purchases amounted to sI 800
 A notable pastorate was that )f Rev George A Morse. iss6-ss. he was a man of large experience. e strong and foreeful preacher Of the true Gospel. He had a strong hslt oh the young people. and won many of them 70 Christ and the church. "Congregations were large and hIs I three years of service were used of l God for the preparation of the neid i for the work of his successors Rev. F. ]. Ayres followed with a pastorate of four years. during which a chapter of the Epworth Lea gue was started which proved very helpful addition 10 the efficiency 9f the ecclesiastical machinery. An ex- tensive revival refreshed the spiritual life Of the people. and thirty were re- ceived to membership from probation
 Negiecttul or Modest
 Other interesting items of the work accomplished might be culled from other past0rates but for the modesty. or neglect of the pastors to write in the Historical Record of the Church. a brief resume of their pastorate. 1 matter of very great importance which is too commonly neglected
 I have already mentioned that of the legacy of 8 GOO left 10 the church by Joseph Green in 1851, $500 was placed on interest as an endowment Fund" Some few others Of the worthy members who have gone home to heaven were wise enough and thoughtful enough to re member the church which they had loved and served in like manner. l think these benefactors are worthy of mention in this brief review of the church's history
 Phebe C Bickford $500; Joseph Green, 5000. Elijah C. Perrin, $l .000 Celinda Cortiss, s315; E. F. and Annie F. Thompson, s2,000. making total of s4,4l5.
 These funds which are in the hands ti our NtHAtAfftt IT usAftH are ii- vested at six per cent and yield the church an annual income of S264.90. Without this endowment the church would be seriously crippled in sus- taining its work Pm sure the treaa- urer and pastor take it as a semi annual God-send when the check for S132. is received in April and Oc- tober of each year
 My primary object in mentioning this endowment is that the sainted donors might be thus remembered with gratitude in this Old Home Night gathering.
