The Wedding
In the Wedding: A Pastor's Guide Margaret Bickford offers focused, practical guidance for new and experienced pastors alike in how to make this daunting responsibility an effective part of their ministry. Beginning with the first interview, in which the pastor learns about the couple's background and basic expectations for the service, the book then moves into a helpful discussion of the issues and available resources for premarital counseling. The author then explains the pastor's role in planning the service itself, covering items such as the style and type of ceremony, music, readings and presentations, and co-officiants, if any.

The Cuckoo Comes at Harvest
The people of Xingtai were fortunate to have had Peggy Bickford teach them about the English language and American life, just as we are fortunate to have her fine book The Cuckoo Comes at Harvest to educate us about life in the rural town of Xingtai, China. This evenhanded description of a small Chinese town offers an interesting contrast to life in the metropolitan Chinese cities most commonly pictured. Xingtai is typical of places where the masses of Chinese people live and this is how they live. In addition to the lucid text, the 42 illustrations give an intimate view of living and working conditions in contemporary inland China and a sympathetic look at the people. This valuable and worthwhile book is a must for anyone interested in modern China.
West Newbury
West Newbury was incorporated in 1819 after breaking away from the early settlement of Newbury, which was founded in 1635 by English livestock investors. From its very beginning, the town was a small farming community, later boasting many orchards, nurseries, and truck farms. The community was home to the last covered bridge in Essex County and can also lay claim as the birthplace of the comb industry. In 1886, a horsecar line from Haverhill opened up the community to surrounding areas. In 1897, horsecars were replaced with electric cars, the tracks of which extended to Newburyport. In the mid-1950s, the community grew with the opening of Route 95. Today, West Newbury retains its historic charm, and residents are passionate about its past.
