gee family who were sheltered in the 
village chapel at the time of the 
Salem fire, recently wrote a New 
Year letter of greeting from her pres-

expressing thanks in behalf of her- 
self and her family to Wenham peo- 
ple for the kindness received in that 
week of dire need. Miss Bucher is 
now a school teacher.

The customary meeting of the 
Ladies’ Society, postponed from last 
Wednesday was held Wednesday af- 
ternoon; and was followed by a pub- 
lic supper and entertainment. 
Rev. Mr. Cutler has presented a 
report of church beneficence for 1914. 
The “red envelopes” have brought in 
$129.50, of which $40 went to foreign 
missions, $44 to home missions, and 
$45.50 to local missions—the total of 
these figures being $19 more than last 
year. Local missions included Bibles 
for the children, support of boy 
scouts, and delegates’ expenses to 
religious schools and conventions. 
Individual gifts credited to the 
church’s account brought up the total 
foreign mission gifts to $104, home 
missions $88, and others $100.43. 
Total of the year’s reported benefi- 
cence $292.43. These gifts come 
from the church, the Sunday school 
the Y. P. S. C. E., and the Ladies’ 
Society. The church membership 
stands at 80, a gain of one over last 
year’s figure.
