Luther Conant
Luther Conant who died on January 11 at the age of 98 at his home in Norwalk, Conn., was at the time of his death the oldest alumnus of MIT having been graduated from that institution in 1895. Rev. James MacIntyre conducted the funeral service for Mr. Conant in our church on Sunday after- noon, January 17.
Luther Conant was born in the Conant farmhouse just north of Acton Center and was the 7th generation of his family to live in that house. His father was the town moderator for 40 years. The Conants were all active in our church and one of our stained glass windows was donated by Luther Conant's grandparents.
Following a newspaper career with the Journal of Com- merce and The Wall Street Journal, Luther Conant became Deputy Commissioner of Corporations in Washington, D. C., and in 1912 was appointed Commissioner by President Taft. He served for many years with the National Industrial Con- ference Board and was the author of "A Critical Analysis of Industrial Pension Systems." Even in his late years he kept up a regular correspondence with many members of the family.
He is survived by a son, Luther Conant, Jr., in West- port, Connecticut and by two grandchildren. We remember with gratitude all that he and his family contributed to the life of our church and to our community.
Acton's First Ecumenical Communion
As a part of the celebration of the week of Christian Unity, the Acton Clergy Association is sponsoring an ecumenical communion service this Sunday evening, Janu- ary 31, at the Church of the Good Shepherd at 7:00 PM. The church is on the corner of Newtown Road and Arling- ton Street. The Rev. Arthur Walmsley, executive secre- tary of the Mass. Council of Churches, will deliver the sermon. The service of communion will be conducted by the clergy of the community and they will use the liturgy designed by the Committee on Church Unity (COCU) which is proposing a church union for nine of our Ameri- can denominations. The proposal is still in the study stage. The Sunday night service will give us all a good opportunity to worship using the "new order".
Our lay representatives in the service are Marion Armstrong, Carol .Lake, Charles Rogers and Larry Faulkner. Our ministers will also participate.
Deacons Organize for 1971
All nine deacons were present along with the two ministers on Monday, January 25, when they held their first meeting of the new year at the parsonage. They spentsome time getting acquainted and the new deacons each gave a short presentation at the minister's request. Marion Armstrong, who has been a member of the church longer than any other deacon, told of some of the events in the past. Larry Faulkner, the youngest deacon, ex-

missions and moved in cheles of public notoriety and struek the pavements with his dashing steeds, he has maintained his integrity, deserved titles which he might have had for the asking, and reached a venerable age, receiv- ing the confidence and regard of the com- munity, among whom he has lived in peace these many years.
Mr. Blanchard has been a Whig and Re- publican in politics, a Baptist in his religious faith, and a man of order, sobriety, and good sense in all his public and private relations. ITis countenance beams with intelligence and good fellowship, and is itself a benediction which we are happy to have where it can be of service to the public.
