Hospital in an intoxicated condition
shocked the congregation, and his resig-

the subject of much talk In Kensington.
The facts were hushcd up, but the an.

Stevens has signed an official document
dcpCsing Mr. Crawford from the min
istry.
On the Sunday in question, in reading
the prayers Mr.. Crawford stumbled and
stammered, and when he left the altar to
make his way TO the pulpit, the Superin-
tendcnt of the hospital fastened after
him. The congregation waited for the
sermon, but in vain. A few minutes
passed, and Mr. Crawford; looking very
much agitatcd, came back from the
yestry and, emitting the sermon, pro-
nounced the benediction. That night he
wrote his resignation.
