cock. Harry F. Mitten, secretary of
the board Of trustees, gave his re-
port of the expenses for the renova-
tion of the exterior and Interior of
the church; a collection was taken
to finish defraying the expenses. The
response was SO satisfactory that the

decorator, was present and was COM
plimented on the very satisfactory
work doneJ Rev. H. B. Kelso an
nounced the revival program and
urged the young people to attend the
special services prepared for them.
Following the musical and business
program the preaching service be-
gan. Rev. H. B. Kelso presented DR..
William Cashmere of the Second
Congregational Church of Jericho,
Vermont, for the past 20 years. He
prefaced his sermon by a few remi- |
niscences of the time he came to this
charge 33 years ago. They came |
surging down the years preserved in !,
mind and memory OF the gracious |
contacts with these people. He spoke |
of the men whose fidelity and judg- |
ment were the bulwark of the church. |
Men of breadth of outlook who kept |
straight in the path of duty. They
have passed on but charted course
for their successors to follow. While
here a baby was born. Mary Cash
more grew up in an atmosphere OF
culture and sagacity in spiritual
things. She found happiness in
life of service to others and for four
teen years has been in residence in
Beirut, Syria. as Missionary with
a living, loving, interest in her work.
Muriel, the first little girl who came
here with her parents remains. at
home to take care of her father.
These "reminiscences brought choice
recollections of the time DR.. CASH
more, his wife and two little girls
lived here and as he aptly expressed
il took roots which struck deeply
in this community" His loyal
friends here were deeply moved be-
cause they too, had happy memories
of DR.. Cashmore's generous impulses,
his splendid reserve power and un-
swerving loyalty to principle. He
chose his text from ii Samuel, 22nd
chapter. 36th verse-"And thy gen. ,
tleness hath made me great" He
spoke of the destructive and con- ,
structive forces of the age. The con-
structive forces that build up our
lives concern us greatly. Those who
have worked out a reasonable philos-
ophy of life find that service, kind /,
ness, mercy, and good will are the
only things that afford us hope. c
They are the constructive forces with
which we are familiar. In this age 1
when the mind is caught in the most ,
terrible time of counter currents the {
most stabilizing force is the religion
Of Jesus Christ. DIR. Cashmere Wis !,
lalized three scenes in which three {
men testified concerning Him; one >
nan said "He must have been good: :
another Never before man spake ;,
ike this; and third, 'He went =
lbout doing good. Jesus is the one !,
perfect example we can emulate. :,
Truly the entire service was one of =
'ich spiritual grace. After the SER
rice old friends and new greeted DR.. 4.
