In its account of the reception giv- by the Methodists of Hempstead their new pastor, Rsv. Sau! O. Cur¬ se, formerly t)f Freeport, the Hemp- letead Sentinel said:
'Bro. W. S. Powell welcomed th? Ipastor in a few well-chosen and cor- Idial words, and Bro. Curtice respond- led in a way that strai^rhtway won I'hinri a place in the hearts of his Ihearers."

Nominations for officers to serve Freeport Council during the year h'e- pinning July 1 will take place June 14 and 21, and th? election will be held on the 28th. From indications, it is exnected that some Past Coun¬ cilor will be asked to serve again, as Councilor in order to guide af¬ fairs with greater eflicieney. For sev¬ eral years young members have been jiriven preference in the choosing of otTices. Some have given a good ac¬ count of the trust imposed while oth¬ ers have not. The Council has lost a number of available young men candidates for oflice by reason of war service, which makes the selection of older members more imperative. Be¬ sides, it is believed that the selec¬ tion of the older officers tvould help to increase attendance at meetings.
