CO-WORKERS
Ladies of the parish have always been ready to assist in any great project of the church. This is evidenced by the group which organized in 1856 as the Ladies Benevolent Society, afterward named the Social Circle, and in January, 1899 became the Co-Workers. This group has been famous for its energy and accomplishments. Their object has been to promote the social interests of the parish, and to aid financially any department of the church. The first officers were President, Mrs. A. M. Wood; Vice President, Mrs. E. O. Parker; Secretary, Miss Mae Witham; Treasurer, Miss Clara Pettee. The meetings have been held in the church parlor on Monday afternoons.
When only one year old, this society began to pledge $150.00 a year toward the church music. Many years they gave $300.00. On March 18, 1901 they put aside $50.00 for a new church organ. Regularly they added to their nest egg until in April and May, 1925 their plans were fulfilled by the installation of a Hook and Hastings organ. In this same year they were grateful for a gift, known as the Mary Preston Peckham fund, which has helped to keep the organ in repair. They have been responsible for the expenses of the choir robes and in 1928 they bought two hundred and fifty hymn books for the auditorium.
All these years the Co-Workers have cared for the social rooms, redecorating and replenishing furniture, fixtures, dishes or silver as they were needed.
The annual Christmas sales, strawberry festivals, spelling matches, County fair, suppers, rummage sales, lectures and entertainments, all of the highest order, have enriched the social life of the church and re- plenished the treasury of the society.

YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
A record of this Society states that on February 23, 1892, it cele- brated its fourth anniversary which gives a clue to the time of organiz- ation. Rev. and Mrs. Laurence enjoyed working with young people, and Mr. Edward P. Fitts, at that time Superintendent of Middleboro schools, was so helpful that he was often referred to as "Father Endeavor Fitts."
The Society's motto was "For Christ and the Church;" their pledge in part, "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise Him that I will strive to do whatever He would like to have me do. I will make it the rule of my life to pray and to read my Bible every day, and to support my own church in every way, especially by attending all her regular Sunday and mid-week services, unless prevented by some reason which I can conscientiously give to my Savior, and that just as far as I know how, throughout my whole life, I will endeavor to lead a Christian Life."
Prayer meetings were held at the church each Sunday evening at 6:15 o'clock, except during July and August, when they were held out of doors, in union with the Methodist Epworth League. Social gather- ings were held each month, and picnics were frequently enjoyed.
The organization furnished flowers for the Sunday services, and then carried the flowers to those who were ill. Money was contributed to many worthy causes. It was a very active group, at one time having fifty active, one associate and twenty-four honorary members.
SUNSHINE MISSIONARY GIRLS
Yellow is our color, Sunshine is our name, Work is what we're wanting, Service is our aim, Where our help is needed, we'll be right on hand. We are Happy Workers, we're the Sunshine Band.
The vision and efforts of the Leader, Mrs. Lizzie E. B. Tillson, made this society possible. Organized in 1903 with twenty girls from our church, the first president was Sue Pitman. Vesta and Gladys Jackson, Agnes Pierce and Fannie Reed were early officers. Members were seven to fourteen years of age, and met in Mrs. Tillson's home every two weeks, except July and August.
( 59)
Money was earned by having entertainments and sales in the church vestry, selling soap, flower seeds, Easter cards, and chocolate bars.
A continued interest was in children's schools and hospitals in Japan, Turkey, China, India, Africa and the Philippines, where they sent many dressed dolls, paper dolls, picture postcards, Perry pictures, scrap books, games, toys, baby blankets, Sunday School papers and magazines.
By 1918 the organization had outgrown the Tillson's living-room and meetings were held in the church vestry. There were now seventy girls, representing every church in town, all working eagerly for their varied projects.
Mrs. Tillson's report for the twenty-fifth year is as follows: "There have been seven hundred different girls as members. They have received and expended $4700.00. Of that, $475.00 was credited to this church for missions, $200.00 to the Y.M.C.A. which included furnishing a dor- mitory room, $525.00 to Town needs, including Play Ground, Childrens' Gardens etc." By this time, membership reached ninety-eight, and when a party was announced they all came, and brought a guest. Meetings were then held in the Chapel. Activities ceased with the illness of Mrs. Tillson in March, 1930, but memories of the Sunshine Missionary Girls and their leader are cherished in many hearts today.
WHITE CHURCH GUILD
Mrs. Olive Maynard, wife of the pastor, Reverend Newell C. May- nard, was the founder of the White Church Guild. A group of young matrons of the church wished to have a society of their own. The Co- Workers met in the afternoon and these young ladies, many of them employed during the day, wished to meet in the evening. They conferred with Mrs. Maynard and together planned the beginning of the White Church Guild. Mrs. Mertie E. Witbeck served as the first president.
The initial meeting was held November 4, 1916. The object of the society was to increase missionary interest and enlarge the social and spiritual activities of the church. Any young woman over sixteen was eligible for membership by the payment of dues, fifty cents per year. The Junior Co-Workers merged with this group.
From the beginning, the society has been ambitious. At the present time there are one hundred members. Meeting nights are first and third
(60)
Tuesdays in the church parlor. Local friends, and missionaries from all fields are frequent speakers. The activities of the society in the form of a House Beautiful Fair, Calendar Supper, Gay Nineties party, birth- day parties, Old Folk's Concert, sales and entertainments have in every way fulfilled their aim and replenished the treasury.
Runners for the aisles of the auditorium, pulpit rug, pulpit Bible and other needs of the church have been supplied. Plans are under way to re-cover the pew cushions as soon as material is available. The Society also contributes to Home and Foreign Missions.
Always blessed with fine leadership, a successful future is assured for the White Church Guild.
BETHANY GIRLS
In February, 1919 there was needed a midweek activity to interest the young ladies of the Intermediate Department of the Sunday School. Realizing this necessity, Miss Flora Clark organized the society called Bethany Girls. Their aim-every girl a spiritual center, radiating the Master's purpose in the home, daily life, and school. Any girl was invited to join who was willing to sign the covenant and pay the membership fee of 25c. Among the assistants to Miss Clark were Mrs. Lizzie E. B. Tillson, Mrs. Edna Bailey, Mrs. Lillian Smith, Mrs. Lottie Kennedy and Miss Carrie Luippold. The girls met in the church every other Wednes- day evening and learned to make many kinds of fancy work. They con- ducted sales and devoted the money thus earned to worthwhile projects in the church, town and other countries. Their meetings were of a social nature, with now and then a guest speaker. At the time the Home Mission Circle disbanded, their Kingman fund of $1000.00 was turned over to the Bethany Girls, the interest of which was to be used each year in remembrance of the invalids of the parish. The society was discon- tinued in 1938, owing to various other activities.
THE FRIENDLY FORUM
The Friendly Forum was organized in 1937 and is now celebrating its tenth anniversary. At the time it was formed there was no organiz- ation in the church for young men and women beyond high school age. Mr. Julius invited a group of about twelve young people to his home,
(61)
and as the idea for a new organization appealed to all present, plans were made to form the new society. The name, The Friendly Forum, was submitted by Mrs. Maynard Goodridge, and was the choice of those present at the Friendly Forum's first meeting. The purpose of this organ- ization is to promote Christian fellowship.
The Friendly Forum has an active membership of about forty. In the course of its ten years of existence, there have probably been two hundred young people as members of the group. During the ten years there has been a great variety of meetings. Some meetings have taken a serious tone, while others have been on the lighter side. Many fine speakers and interesting discussions have been heard during the years.
The Friendly Forum receives new life in the person of Mr. Edwards and looks forward to new achievements.
SABBATH SCHOOL
The first record of organization is June 8, 1848, with Deacon Hor- atio G. Wood, Superintendent, Nathan King, Secretary. There were twenty-four teachers, twelve male and twelve female. Sessions were held after the church service in the Chapel, until 1859, when it was voted to meet in the church. In April 1888 records show an attendance of two hundred forty-five and collection for the month was $17.02. For many years there was a library for all ages. There have been various missionary projects, both at home and abroad. 1872 shows a record of the first Christmas tree and $64.80 was raised to meet the expense. In 1881 they raised $70.27 for a Christmas tree and bought four hundred fifty plates, one hundred fifty spoons and one hundred twenty-five mugs. 1887 shows a report of cost of chairs for vestry, $456.25, primary chairs, $48.00. Some of these chairs are in use today.
Superintendents listed are 1851, Branch Harlow; 1854, A. J. Pickens; 1859, James H. Harlow; 1860, George L. Soule; 1863, George H. Doane; 1866, Ivory H. Harlow; 1867, James M.

A resolution of thanks was extended to Mr. James H. Weston in 1892 for his services as Secretary and Treasurer for eighteen years. Meantime there have been many faithful teachers who have had classes more than eighteen years. The Primary Department moved into the Chapel, in its new location, on April 1, 1928. During the years there has been a Young Mens' Class; Mothers' Class; Mens' Class; Senior, Inter- mediate, Junior, Primary, Beginners, Cradle Roll and Home Depart- ments, conducted by able Superintendents. The Sunday School has ever been, as it ought to be, the "nursery of the church," and many from its numbers have become members of the church, by confession of faith.
Other organizations to fill needs at various times, for different ages, were:
Boys' Brigade Church Parlor Society
Helping Hand Society In-as-much Society Junior Co-Workers Middleboro Industrial School Pilgrim Fellowship Pleasant Hour Club

OUR CHURCH TRUST FUNDS
BY ALBERT A. THOMAS, Treasurer
On August 15, 1883, in accordance with a vote at a meeting of the church, there was transferred to the Central Congregational Church a stock certificate for two shares of the capital stock of the Old Colony Railroad Company, at that time considered a prime investment. This certificate is still held in the name of the church but now represents but little value.
On July 5, 1886 there was deposited in the Middleborough Savings Bank by Andrew L. Tinkham, clerk of the church, the sum of $65.00. Where this money came from the records do not indicate but the amount has always been held as a trust fund the income only used for church expenses.
During the following years there was also deposited in the Middle- borough Savings Bank in amounts of $100 at a time, a total of $800, the last of these $100 deposits being on July 13, 1910. The $100 deposited on July 30, 1906 came from the Estate of Elizabeth S. Washburn, but for a time the identity of the one making the other deposits was unknown, as each contribution was accompanied by an anonymous letter ad- dressed to the treasurer. Later it was learned that the donor was the late Julia H. Copeland. Thus we have the beginning of our present trust fund portfolio.
On March 1, 1917 there was received from the Estate of Julia H. Copeland the sum of $18,000 providing the following trust funds:
Income only to be used for general church purposes $10,000.00
Income only to be used to help defray ex- pense of church musical program 5,000.00
Income only to be used to assist in keeping church parsonage in repair 3,000.00
In March 1920 there was transferred to the church a stock certifi- cate for twenty-eight shares of the capital stock of the Middleborough
( 64)
Trust Company, a bequest by the late Mary A. Kingman, this to be held as a trust fund the income only to be used for repairs to the church interior. This certificate is carried on the books at a value of $3,640. On September 1, 1921 there was received from the same source the sum of $1,000 to be held as a trust fund the income only to be paid to the Home Mission Circle Society.
On November 1, 1925 there was received from William S. Shiverick of Salt Lake City, Utah and Samuel N. Shiverick, of Middleborough, the sum of $5,000 to be held as the Charles H. Shiverick Trust Fund the income only to be used to apply to the payment of the Pastor's salary.
The following bequests were received to be held as trust funds and the income to be used for general church purposes:
October 29, 1922 From Estate of George
H. Shaw $500.00
December 28, 1930 From Estate of W.
Osgood Eddy 100.00
To be held as the W. Osgood Eddy Memorial Fund
November 1, 1933 From Estate of Samuel
N. Shiverick 5,000.00
October 4, 1934 From Estate of Samuel N. Shiverick 1,000.00
July 16, 1938 From Mrs. Maria D. Mitchell 200.00
In memory of her late husband, Albert F. Mitchell
September 1, 1940 From Estate of Eben- ezer Pickens 8,814.04
Real estate and personal property valued at this amount
March 1, 1942 From Estate of Arabella Bourne 500.00
February 6, 1944 From Estate of Josephine
S. Perkins 2,142.12
May 26, 1946 From Estate of Clifton W. Tillson 2,000.00
To be used as a "revolving fund" in charge of Standing Committee to be loaned church treasurer, without interest, when needed to meet cur- rent expenses of church, the money to be replaced in the fund when temporary borrowing is no longer necessary.
(65)
In June 1927 the church voted to sell to the Middleborough Co- operative Bank its lot of land on South Main Street for the sum of $7,500, the church to retain possession of the chapel building standing on the lot and to remove same to the land adjoining the church on Webster Street, the expense of moving the building and its rehabilitation to be taken from the purchase price of the lot sold. After paying all expense of moving the chapel and cost of repairs there remained a balance of $4,448.80 which sum has been held as a trust fund the in- come being expended for general church purposes.
The following trust funds are carried on the books as of today:
General Trust Fund
Julia H. Copeland Trust Funds
$1,265.87 18,258.76
Chapel Fund
4,448.81
Charles H. Shiverick Trust Fund

W. Osgood Eddy Memorial Fund
100.00
Clifton W. Tillson Fund
2,000.00
Total book value
$54,131.21
For the year ending April 1, 1946 these various trust funds pro- vided income of $2,269.70.
Much could be written regarding these many donors to our church. All were vitally interested in the welfare and future well being of the church and each during their lifetime rendered valuable service in its behalf. Certainly the church has a great responsibility in carrying for- ward their wishes and at the same time owes to them a debt of appre- ciation for their generosity in perpetuating their financial support to the church where they were so happy to have been a member.

WAR SERVICE COMMITTEE World War II
It was the desire of the War Service Committee that each month some assurance of fellowship and loving thought should go out to those in the service of their country. This was done by contacting each fam- ily every month for the latest address of the service men and women and the sending of church letters written by Reverend David J. Julius, and men of the parish. Women of the church wrote letters on alternate months. At Christmas, gifts were sent to every one on the church Honor Roll, at home or overseas. At annual meetings, funds were voted to defray the expense of gifts, postage and mailing the church letters. These were augmented by gifts from individuals.
Mrs. James H. Burkhead and Mrs. Chester L. Shaw served as Co- Chairmen of the War Service Committee, assisted by Mrs. John A. Holt, Mrs. Harry W. Howes, Mrs. Boyd A. Iseminger, Mrs. Joseph B. MacAllister, Miss Grace I. Paun, Mrs. Arthur B. Pearson, Mrs. Edgar Stafford, Mrs. Roy West, Mrs. Charles C. Whitney and Mrs. John G. Howes.
On June 11, 1944, there was held a Service of Recognition for the men and women of the church in the service of their country.
A "V Day" Service was held in the church on the evening of May 8, 1945 to observe the cessation of war in Europe. In the absence of the Pastor, the service was led by Mrs. David J. Julius and Mrs. Mertie E. Witbeck.
