Sunday morning at the communion service of the Congregational church, ten persons were received into the church on confession of faith. They were all young people although of varying ages. All had attended upon the services of the church and were members of the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor society since being old enough to attend such services. Of such it can be said it was their own conscientions decision after arriving at years of understanding, the result of good gospel preaching and faithful Sunday school teaching. It is a sign that a church is fulfilling it mission in its work of soul winning, when it can take into its fold those who have grown up under its ministration. A church that fails to accomplish this much has forfeited its right to exist.
