Church, it's present pastor DR.. Clarke, and ih former
| pastor, DR. Prentss:
On one or two occasions have spoken Of the great
mistake men make usually who leave good country
| settlement and remove TO NewYork. We have many
men who are setted in this vicinity, who have
had little fame, bnt who lef. popular positions and
came TO the city only TO find how little reputation
will aid man 10 build himself up IN this city. Tbs
resignation OF the Rev. DIR. Waller Clarke Of the her-
Ger street Church Is illustration on this head
| He settled in Hartford. He had one OF the bese
parshes in the State; be was one Of the most popuR
| men in New England; he wss induced 70 remove 70
what was Of the most influential churches In tn
| city. BIT death and removals have diminished IL
congregation, and the return Of DR. Prentiss and hs
preaching in the city has drawn largely on this po
sition that satisfied that he stern the downward
| torrent, DR.. G.. has concluded to resign. We have
many other men who have reason TO regret the hour
VIXEN the temptations of city pas.orse Induced them
70 leave the pleasant, thriving and happy country
4 homes. Some men Of great popularity before they
came here, might as well be in Egypt ss 10 this city.
| The Rev. Dr. PrentSs is now preaching in the
Chapel Of the Home for the Friendess, with the view
Of gathering sufficient strength to proceed to the sseo
| ton Of u new church uptown.
