TO) MERGE = PARISH 
WITH. CHURCH 
VOTED 
The First Parish, Manchester, 
voted at a special meeting called for 
the purpose, last Friday evening, to 
merge with the church society (Or- 
thodox Congl. church), voting unan- 
imously on all the questions. The 
action is contingent upon the church 
voting to accept the merger. 
The merging of the Parish with the 
Church is important in that the church 
since the earliest days has been con- 
trolled in a financial and material 
way by the Parish. Manchester is 
one of the last towns to make this 
change. 
It was voted to ‘authorize the 
Parish Committee to execute and 
deliver a deed of all the real estate 
that it now holds in fee, or in which 
it has an interest, contingent or abso- 
lute, running to the Orthodox Cong. 
church.” 
The Parish Committee was also 
authorized ‘‘to execute and deliver a 
bill of sale of all its personal property 
that it now holds, or in which it has 
an interest, to the Orthodox Cong. 
church.” . 
Also “to assign to the Orthodox 
Congl. church all its rights, title and 
interest in any fund or funds, notes, 
-or other evidences of indebtedness or 
value, now in its possession, - oF 
which may come into its possession 
by devise or bequest by any party or 
parties.” 
.'The consideration of the above 
transfers and assignments constitutes 
a liquidation of all indebtedness of 
the Parish to the Church. 
GREATER Honesty NEEDED. 
An appeal for greater honesty in 
all walks of life was made in the 
evening sermon at the Manchester 
Congregational church on Sunday 
by the pastor, Rev. Charles A. Hatch. 
“T have heard it said that it is im- 
possible for a business man to be eff- 
cient and successful and live the 
Christian life,” said Mr. Hatch. 
“Men tell me that it is difficult to be 
honest and be successful. I have 
known men to lose profits rather than 
commit a dishonest act and I believe 
it is possible for a man to be in busi- 
ness and live the higher calling of 
God in Jesus Christ. He may not be- 
come rich, he may not have a beau- 
tiful home and give his children a 
good education, but he will have one 
of the grandest possessions, a clear 
conscience.” 
Mr. Hatch said that there was 
room for the elevation of the lega! 
profession and a wonderful oppor- 
tunity for physicians to do Christian

into your house, put a thermometer 
into your mouth, feel your pulse and 
charge you $2.00 and feel they have 
done their duty,” he said. 
More public school téachers should 
teach for the love of the profession 
than for the “almighty dollar,’ as 
many do now. Many other occupa- 
tions were mentioned which could 
be improved by honesty of purpose 
and by Christian living.
