Rally & Roll- Call


The Rally & roll-call of the church and society at the Congregational, on Tuesday, the first day of the 20th century, was an occasion long to be remembered by those who participated. The call, meeting with such a general response, suggested the query of many. "1 Would it not be well to have such calle often than once in a century from all our churches?" It might tend to awaken a train of thought long dulled and sleeping.


The following program was listened to by a large audience :


Part I


Scripture reading and prayer anthem


Roll-call of church members Hymn Roll-call of society members


Part II - Reports

Congregational Church of Orleans- The Congregational Church building of Orleans which has recently been remodeled was originally built in 1829. It's outside dimensions were 41×68 with posts about 18 feet high and a roof of low pitch , which together with double rows of numerous windows , gave the building an appearance reminding one more of a factory than a church. It was built of the best of stock and of heavy timbers and all apparently in as good Condition as when first put together. The roof had not been renewed and was perfectly tight and in good condition. Inside it contained but a single room with a gallery on three sides and short narrow entries from the doors .
