announcement of the close of notable pas

County, Va. Mr.. Boyden was born in Gull
ford and his carly life was spent there, where
he still has relatives and friends living His
Virginia pastorate extended over period of
just - years. a very unusual length of time
in these latter days, and he at last rendered his
resignation only ON account of the increasing
infrmitics of age. Mr.. Boyden's letter of
resignation breathos the unmistakable spirit
of sincere peace and love toward all, and the
manner in which it was received and acted
upon testifies to the cordial feeling of mutual
love and confidence which existed between
pastor and people. To act upon the letter Of
resignation meeting of the whole congrega-
ton was called, and in the preamble and res
olutions adopted on the occasion they say :

the free gospel of the Son of God to these
three generations with all long -suffering and

contribution.
There is the gravest reason for apprehen-
sion that exorbitant claims upon the public
treasury, by no means limited to the hun
dreds Of millions already covered by bills in
troduced in Congress within the past four
years, would be successfully urged II the
Democratic party should succeed in supple

There is danger in intrusting the control of
the whole law-making power Of the govern

as sacred as those to which the faith of the
