Church During the nast two years a quiet agitation has blen in progress for a new church in this village, the present one, .which is over 80 years .old having nearly outgrown its usefulness in our progressive village. A valuable Piece of property has been bought consisting of the old schoolhouse lot and blacksmith lot adjoining the two lots facing the junction of the new Beach road with the Plymouth road! Plans for the new church have beeu prepared by Curtis W. Bixby of Bos- ton. A new year's gift of $5000 from the family of the late Gustavus F. Swift of Chicago, together with two local gifts of $1000 each, has made the building of the new church an assured fact, if a reasonable amount of financial sup- port is given. The plans call for a cobble-stone church with a large square stone tow- er. The first floor provides for .an au- ditorium designed to seat 200, a choir room and pastor's study on either side of the chancel. A large Sunday school is found at the rear of the auditorium connected by large folding doors; this room will seat 125. A ladies' parlor is at the rear of the Sunday school room and can be thrown open by folding doors. A large room is provided for the prim- ary department and one for a Sunday school library. On the lower floor is to be found a large dining room and connected with it a kitchen and china closet. A dressing room for the ladies and a coat room for men .will add to the equipment. A playroom and gymnasi- um is planned with a game roam for the children. The total cost is to be in the neua- borhood of $15,000. ~ Work will be begun as soon as the specifications are .prepared and ;.he contracts let. The expectations are that the church will be completed so that the dedica- tion will take .place iwithin a year's time.

Hall The Missionary Herald for January prints a portrait of the late Miss Alice U. Hall, and a tribute to her work Miss fiz.\\ was a granddaughter of tiie late Cyrus Hall. In the Herald for December, 1 904, the departure of Miss Alice U. Hall for China and the Foochow Mission was announced. It is now our sad duty to report her death at Foochow, October 18, after nearly five years of devoted service, for which she was well fitted. Miss Hall was born in Chicago, in 1873, and was graduated from Mt. Holyoke College in 1895. After three years of teaching she took a year of post-graduate study at Oberlin, receiv- ing the degree of M. A. She sailed from San Francisco, October 25, and at once gave herself to the study of the language, while laboringwith Miss Newton at Foochaw. On account of the paucity of laborers, during the past year she has shared with Miss Jerkins in the care of the girls' school at Diong-loh. While there she was attacked by the disease which proved fatal. For better medical attention she was taken in the house boat and by carriers to Foochow, whe- a, as Miss Perkins says, "she hid every care that love and skill cou'.d give." For some.days recovery was confident- ly locked for, but a change for the worse took place and the end came. Miss Perkins writes, "The departure of no other worker could leave such a vacancy." The funeral service was held at Fcoohow, and later a memorial service by the Chinese at Diong-loh, lasting for two hours and attended by native preachers and Bible-women from five miles around, who paid many tributes to Miss Hall's love and earnest zeal- When all the literati had spoken, the cook brought by Miss Hall from Foo- chaw said she had taught him when an idolater to read his Bible and wor- ship tihe true God. The teachers had spoken of her kindness to them, and he wanted to say she was just as good to her servants. The loss of this laborer is very keen- ly felt by all the mission. The church at Diong-loh has sent a communica- tion to the Woman's Board signed by its pastor, six preachers, five teachers, and five Bible-women, recognizing the value of Miss Hall's services and beseeching that other laborers may be sent to fill her place and other places that are needing help. Who will re- spond to these appeals "and be baptis- ed for the dead?" Mr. and Mrs. Alfred W. Kelley have returned from their visit to their visit to their daughter in Providence.

Matthews leave for Eustis, Fla, to-day, where they will spend several months with Mr. Alger's son, Mr. Francis Alger, Jr. Mr. Walter Baker of Taunton was the guest of his mother, Mrs. Lydia Baker, for several days last week.
