A special meeting was held yesterday after
noca.
Mr.. Lewis Pierce was elected Moderator.
A letter Of declination was read from Gen.
S. j. Anderson as member of the parish
committee, and Mr.. Fritz Fl. Jordan declined
verbally, for himself and Mr.. Renry ST. John
Smith,
Messrs. Fritz Fl. Jordan, Augustus Cum
mings. and Henry Butter were elected parish
committee. Mr.. Jordan again declined, but
the parish refused to accept his dechnation.
Gen. S. j. Anderson then said It was thought
advisable to try and build up the parish; that
its financial condition for a few years past had
not been what it shonld be. He referred to
the fact that movement was deemed best to
invite the Park street parish with the First
Parish, and II it was possible that an associate
pastor be elected, who would be agreeable to
both parishes. In order to bring about such a
union it would be necessary to choose a COM
mittee of conference.
Mr.. M. P. Emery thought a committee
might be appointed for such purpose as Gen
Anderson had mentioned, and he so moved
Mr.. f. Fl. Jordan asked if, in such union
the Park street parish would give up its corpc-
rate existence and be merged in the First Par
ish.
Mr.. Anderson did not know Of any talk hav-
ing been made ON the subject.
Mr.. Emery's motion was seconded by Mr..
Thomas Shaw.
Judge Goddard asked if this committee
could be legally appointed at this meeting.
The Moderator could not see why not. 1t
was nothing but consulting committee that
was to be appointed, and 10 legal action was to
be taken; no money was 10 be raised, or could
be, until warrant was issued for that purpose.
Mr. Charles Jose thought that all appronria-
tions for the current year had been voted at
the regular parish meeting. He thought the
arrangements then made could not be altered,
unless with the consent OF interested parties.
He thought it would be delicate job to unite
the two parishes SO as to make one that was
strong and vigorous, and If it was done it
must be done at the right time. Tho question
was, was this the right time?
Mr.. Jordan thought all arrangements could
be made for the rest Of the year at legal
meeting, and permanent appropriations voted
at the next regular meeting.
Gen. Anderson believed with his friend, Mr.
Jose, no legal contracts could be annnlled, but
this committee was merely consultation
committee, and when they had reported, a
meeting could be legally called to act on their
report.
The motion Of Mr.. Emery was put, and
unanimously carried.
It was voted the committee be nominated
from the floor, and on motion Of Mr. Jordan,
Messrs. 8. J. Anderson. II. N. Jose and M. z.
Emery we're appointed said committee.
