Whitestone Church Members Unite

New York, 1895

Union services of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches of Whitestone are to be held, at which the merits of the different candidates to be voted on at the coming village election will be discussed. The Rev. James J. Moffit and the Rev. Jonathan Greenleaf are at the head of the movement. An effort was recently made by the churches to suppress the liquor traffic in the village, and the principal officers to come under the scrutiny of the union services will be the excise commissioners.
