CHURCH NOTES
Will your love and devotion for
your own mother lead you to the
public place where tribute will be
paid to her on Sunday? She may be
living or she may be "alive forever-
more," but whichever it Is, you may-
be sure you owe her what you do
not, never could and never will
owe to anyoue else.
To remember and weave into
your life,—"Every Sunday is a gen-
tle reminder of the Heavenly Fa-
ther 's infinite love for his children
and a tender memorial to the gos-
pel of the empty tomb and of him
who ever liveth to intercede. An
intelligent observance of The Lord' s
Day will deepen our sensitiveness
to spiritual impulses, purif y and
exalt our thoughts , subdue our pas-
sions, enohle our purposes, enlarge
and sharpen our vision*
, warm our
hearts, suffuse and energize our
whole beiug with the Spirit of God.
Our experiences on this day can
mean that the other days of the
week will he used wisely, helpfully
and not only to one's self but to
fellow pilgrims along the way."
(From last Sunday's ertuou.)

As we note various buildings and
sites lu Centerville that "passing
by, we may remember ," none save
the Church is more important than
the Village Library. Although this
has been latel y publicized , we beg
permission to reprint for the rec-
ord in this column the following
from this season's calendar.
Centerville Library was seventy-
nine years old in March of this year.
It is recorded that one Eugene Tap-
pan , Centerville school teacher,
called a meeting in March 1869,
"the object being to frame a con-
stitution for a public library." An-i
cient accounts are so sparing of
detail that one's imagination has
to till in all the gaps in the old '
record. Moses Hallett' s store (now
Mrs. Bates ' antique shop across
from the church) was to be the 11-
brary's home, at euse with shoes
and molasses and calico, as was
proper. Why should not East India
goods and literature be in one's
corner grocery '
In 1S77 the library was moved to
the store of Nelson Phinney, who
i had a dry goods business. The fol-
lowing year it was located 1
in the
ante-room ot the old Howard Hall,
where It remained until 1S81, when
a small building was erected oil the
present ppremlses which was to bo
its home for sixteen years. A little
sheet called the Centerville Fair
Chronicle was circulated at a sum-
mer fair in 1S83 giving the follow-
ing Information about Centerville
65 years ago.
"Inhabitants in the village 402—
males 176, females 226; number of
houses 112, with 115 families. Also
2 churches, 2 school houses, 1hall,
9 stores and shops, 2 hotels, 1 post
office, 1 wheelwright , 1 blacksmith
and 1 water grist mill."
The present building was built
with funds obtained by public sub-
scription , "both young and old con-
tributing money and labor," and
was dedicated on August 6, 1897.
At Its monthly business meeting
Monday nigh t, the Guild voted to
accept the invitation to cater for
(he noontime dinner on Momorlai
Day at the Church Vestry, which ,
aocordlug to custom will be held
under the auspices of the Barn-
stable soldiers ' Memorial Associa-
tion and attended by its members
and their invited guests.
PERSONALS |
During May, the Library Associa-
tion plans to offer its usual Spring
Flower Show and the early season
will be especially favorable. Be ou
the watch for announcements . One
sometimes needs to "make dates "
abend in these busy days.
In the recent foreword about our
Village School Mayday program ,
the date was inadvertently printed
as May 1
. This should have read
"May 18, or the first pleasant day
thereafter." Please note.
On County Girls' Day, at Bald-
win Hall in Hyannis , May 7 (next
Saturday), 4-H Club Girls of the
County and their leaders will meet
ami exhibit samples of their work
ot the year. Of the Centerville Club,
some of them will model the com-
plete outfits of summer wearing
apparel which they have made.
Others will show completed articles
of that sort. This has been a use-
ful and popular project and next
month's theme, on "Gardening,"
should be equally as attractive.
Mrs. Roy Thomas is their busy and
energetic leader and Mrs. Irene
Pierce is assistant.
An interested and enthusiastic
meeting of the Cub Scouts and their
friends was held last Thursday eve-
ning at the Vestry, as announced.
Parents of the Cubs were especially
invited to attend and did so almost
witho\it exception. This was a joint
meeting with the Barnstable Pack,
No. 66, and much favorable com-
ment has been heard on the dis-
play of "Inventions." which the
boys had worked out during the
month. Such articles as a necktie
holder, an electric lamp stand, foot
stool , boa -, and a small "television
set" were seen as well as many
others. Interested friends contrib-
uted refreshments of iced cakes,
cookies and coca cola. Mr . Chester
Zucker , Scout Executive, was pres-
ent and showed moving pictures
and the Barnstable lads presented
a playlet, based on the life of Ell
Whitney, which received much
pleased comment . Ronald Dixon
was graduated into the Boy Scouts,
having reached the required age.
A list ot awards will be printed
next week. Mrs. William Hundert-
mark and Mr. Zucker and Mrs.
Francis Perry and Mr. Perry are
respectively Den Mothers and Dads
for the two Centerville Dens.
The 4-H Club boys are going
quietly on their way, learning to
work in wood at their bi-weekly
meetings with their leader, Mr.
Lawrence.
Miss Dorothy Worrell is using
her present vacation of a week in
promoting the Fresh Air Work in
Southeastern Massachusetts.
Dredging the entrance to East
Bay has now been in progress for
some time and the sound of the en-
gines is heard day and night. The
State and Town cooperate equally
in this considerable project , the
cost of which will be approximately
$20,000.
Miss Anita Bevans of Poughkeep-
sle has come to Longacre with Otis
Daniels so that he may resume hlB
school duties. Mrs. Daniels was not
sufficiently recovered to return last
Saturday but it is hoped she will
be this week.
Miss Annie Stockln has so far
recovered that she is able to walk
outdoors with care, to her own
great pleasure and that of her many
friends.
Mrs. J. G. Robbins of Montclalr,
whose nearly-completed residence
near the tennis courts has received
much favorable comment, has late-
ly been in town.
Mr . aud Mrs. Emil Danlelson
have lately been for some days at
their home on Bacon Lane.
Word comes fro m the University
of Massachusetts, Amherst, that
John Grimes of the Class of 1950,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence F.
Grimes, has recently been initiated
into the Q.T.V. Fraternity.
