 South Britain may have to ad- vertiSe for a preacher for the Con- gregational church, but it won't be the first time. Ministers have their work cut out for them here. John Minor was our first preacher, and he came shortly after % peo- pie living west of the mountains" asked the General Assembly, of 1761, to allow us to have four months of winter preaching, be- cause of "veTy bad and rough roads" between Britain and South bury. (You see, roads were problem, even back there. Bill Weasa hadn't taken over the state highway maintenance job then, and Ed, Coer wasn't around to improve town roads. People trav- cling between our two towns just had to take their chances then, even as they do now when they are forced to use a town road.) Anyway, our folks built a meeting house that was ready for use in ITO, and our minister trouble starts from that era. Prior to the erection project, the society met at the home of Moses Downs and enjoyed but two months of preach ing during the year.
 Mir. Minor preached here until about 1791, then he became too much expressed in farming, to the neglect of his parochial duties, which caused separation of min- ister and people" and the church elders gave him his walking papers. Minor deserves . lot of credit. Any man who could stand it in this parish for 90 years had en- durance. He probably had to take " AaEuAAnB 70 U1ts

be-" and all the good church folk whetted up their axes and start ed chopping and hauling wood to keep the preacher warm. Captain Ben Pierce started off early in the morning, with yoke of oxen and sled, worked hard all day, cut his wood long and put on all he could get on, and drove into the yard just at night. MT. Thompson came out and walked around the load and said, This ain't so big a load as Walt Hinman brought and walked away into the house and said no more". Captain Ben unlOaded and drove his weary oxen six miles back home. Thompson made gross error in insulting Pierce. It's doubtful if he ever stayed around long enough to burn up that firew0Od after that. Any way, we find MT. Matthias Caster, a Frenchman, holding down the parish in late 17S9 and holding out here for about four years. This Frenchman had bad luck, too. 'sHe left the society in a very broken up condition" according to the records, and the town fell back on "Deacon's meetings"
 After a while, people began to cool down and ministers were tir- ed" according to the historian. We had Abel McEwen, Thad Os- good, and a Dr. Osgood, "a man of note in England and America" McEwen pulled out for New Lon- don, figuring it was more profit able to preach to whalers and the wives of clipper ship captains than to try to make any head way with our hardshells. Osgood must have returned to England because he just seems to have vanished and we've always been friendly toward England. Along about 1907, we managed to get the Rev. Ben Tyler to come over here from Middlebury.
 MT. Tyler was a winner. He not only managed to endure until 1892, but left this parish to become president of Dartmouth College. The parish secured the Rev. Noah Smith as pinch hitter for the next s years, but Being slow and hesitating of speech his preaching was uninteresting to some and without notes he could do nOth- ing" The church folk held 8 special meeting about Smith in the schOOlhOuse and, ''Mr. Smith died i'm lS3O, of typhoid fever, leaving many friends"

Il Short Story Complete in This Issue


"oM had been alone on the hilltop for
some time, waiting at the trailer loft for
- the return of the pigeons, when the two
criminals arrived in the truck.
1t was a clear, sunny morning, and from
the hilltop the boy could see the neat patterns
of the towns across the bay, with the faint
outline of the San Francisco Oakland bridge
far to the north, and to the south the city of
San Jose.
The pigeons, high in the air, would of
course be able to see much further and Tom
hoped none of them would be lost Today
was the big test for them. Today would tell
whether Dads training had been sound and
thorough, and if the homing instinct was
strong in the birds. It's one thing to train
pigeons to return to an ordinary home loft.
But when the loft is on wheels and is taken
miles away so that the birds have to search it
out - that's something else again.
