John Foster, this dissenting element withdrew to establish tht Brighton Evangellcal Congregatlonal Society and Invited the great evangelical preacher ~yman Bee¢her to . . dellver Its Inaugural sermon. The first minister of the new church was the Rev. ~e orge Blagden, who ·· later presided for many years over Boston's Old South Meeting House. With the expi~atlon of the . First Parish Church In the 1950s, the Brighton Evangelical Congregational Chu ch. became the community's oldest society of any kind. The handsome brick Colonial Revival s yle bulidlng, which · •J dates from 1921, was designed by the prominent architectural firm of Blackhal & Whittemore.

EDITORIAL Weather's t~ ,. outside's not frightful, yet... sit just us, or does it seem like Boston still doesn't know how to clear the streets after a snowstorm, more than a I century after the invention of the Model T? How come cities like Buffalo and Syracuse and Toronto can come through a 2-foot blizzard without drivers being bothered too 5-. much, while Boston gets a mere inch or two and shuts down like Louisville or Atlanta? ...

"PMCers are driven to raise money for cancer research and take pride in the progress made at Dana-Farber as a result of their efforts," Starr said. While many join the PMC for the athletic challenge and the event's reputation as a challenging and well-supported ride, people stay involved and raise so much money because they become com­ mitted to the cause, according to Starr. The PMC has a 70 percent rider retention rate, with cyclists from 30 states and six countries. Nearly 200 PMC cyclists are cancer survivors, thousands of riders have loved ones who have died of the disease and more ride in honor of those cur­ rently in treatment Since its 1980 inception, the Pan-Mass Challenge has raised and contributed more than $145 million to the Jimmy Fund.
