RESIGNATION OF THERET DIR. SCUDDER.

The Rev. Dr. Henry NJ Scudder rendered his
resignation OF the Passionate OF the Central Congre-
gatiOnal Church, in HancOck-st, near Franklin
ave-. Brooklyn, at largely attended church meet
ing last evening. call 10 the pulpit of the
Plymouth Congregational Church in Chicago was
recently given DR.. Scudder and he has decided TO
accept It, At the meeting last evening about 600
persons were present and much opposition to
accepting DR., ScuddeI's resignation was shown.
The meeting was presided over by IL. u. Benedict,
and w. L. Peckham was made clerk.
Dr. Scudder's letter was read by A. Afford, chair
man of the Prudential Committee. In 1t he said
that he had no dissatisfaction with the church.
Peace harmony and Christian fellowship had pre-
vailed IN, the body during the eleven
years and six months of his paste;
rate. The church under his ministry had
grown from 36S members TO 1912, so that 1t was
now the second Congregational organization IN the
United states. The reason for his resignation was
that he felt unable to endure the pressure of his
work i'll Brooklyn. The strain was too great. He
had carefully reflected upon methods
of relief, and he was convinced
that any such would work injury both 70 the church
and himself HIS call TO Plymouth Church. Chicago,
would give HIM just the change that he needed, and
he believed that he could have many years of Wig
orous service there Pecuniary considerations did
not affect him. as he would receive 20 per
cent less income in his new pulpit.
DIR. Sender fixed the date of his resignation No
vember 10 ana asked to have q Congregational
Council called October 81, to give him dismission
from his pastOrate.
A motion to accept the resignation was made by
L. II. Champion, who said that he felt convinced
that the hope of keeping DR.. Scudder was gone. A
series vi resolutions adopted by the Sunday school,
regret ting DT. ScudGers resignation and eX-
pressing the hope that he would remain.
were read by G.. ID. Baker. After
several members OF the church had urged the
using of every possible effort TO induce Dr. Scudder
TO withdraw his resignation, motion was adopted
to appoint committee of seven TO wait on him to
induce him TO reconsider hls action. In the
discussion 1t was proposed to give HIN
years vacation, to employ assistant
pastor to relieve HIM from of the services Oh
Sunday if he would remain. The meeting voted to
