REV. WARREN H. CUDwoRTH.-This earnest,

before the PEOPLES Course, at the City Hall,
and we doubt not that he will be geceted with
a full and appreciative house.
+ The Boston Journal of Wednesday, referring
to his resignation as the pastor of the East
Boston (Unitarian) church, says: 'sWe regret
to see that Rev. Warren Ell. Cudworth of East
Boston has sent in his resignation of the Uni
tartan church at East Boston, over which he
has been settled since 1852. His twenty years
of ministry has been abundant in good works,
and not only among his own people has his
ministratlon been beneficial, but his influence
has been of benefit to the whole community.
No preacher is more popular with the young,
while his services as member of the School
Committee, and his patriotic performance of
duty during the war have given him strong
hold upon the good will of thousands who know
him only as an energetic man, who is always
prompt in every good work. We cannot afford
to have the West appropriate Mr.. Cudworth,
and it is to be hoped that his society will be
able to indnce him to reconsider his intention
of Gissolving his pleasant connection
Such man as this would make first rate
pastor for the First Parish church, and it is sug-

a few Sundays with view to a possible CALL
