here, promises to produce
VA t i i ti JS il..
religious life of the Vil
lage. A few sums have already been
subscribed, a plot of land assigned, plans
for a building secured and a committee
appointed;
While Protestant Episcopal church
services have been held regularly in the
Village Hall, for several seasons past, the
members of the church have long felt
that a proper celebration of its services
demanded an edifice set apart from all
secular use. During the present season
this feeling has grown, culminating re
cently in a meeting of those interested,
at the home of Mis. T. B. Cotter.
Dr. John II. Packard, Philadelphia, was
chosen chairman, and Mr. Thomas W.
Mabley, Cleveland, O., secretary, of the
meeting which included many of the
members of the congregation, and the
evening spent in discussing plans for the
organization of a Parish and the erection
of a church building.
The gift of a plot of land by Mr. Leon
ard Tufts, at the corner of Chinquapin
and Beech roads, as a site, and the receipt
of several contributions as the neclues
of a building fund, were announced.
Plans and a design for the building have
been kindly sent by Mr. Theophilus P.
Chandler, a well-known Philadelphia
architect.
Much enthusiasm was shown and the
members hope that during the present
season a sufficient sum may be subscribed
to warrant the commencement of work
on a church building which will be an
ornament to the Village and a source of
satisfaction to visitors.
In closing a committee consisting of
Mr. T. B. Cotter, Dr. J. II. Packard and
Mr. A. G. Warren was appointed to take
the whole matter in charge, with au
thority to take whatever steps might be
necessary to bring about the desired re
sult. This committee will be glad to
meet all interested in the project and to
receive subscriptions.
