CALLING A PASTOR.

A Specially Interesting Meeting of the l
 United Church Last Evening-Rev.
 Ruen Thomas, ID. D., Unanimously
 Called to the Pastorate-Sketch of
 His Career.
 That very important and interesting meeting of the United church was to take place last evening at the chapel of the church
 was bespoken by the large number of the
 members of the church ladies as well as gen
 tlemen that were assembling at. the chapel as
 the hour for the meeting was neared, not
 withstanding the unpleasant drizzle of rain.
 The meeting was for the purpose of acting
 with regard to calling Rev. Ruen Thomas,
 D. D., of Brookline, Mass, to become their pastor The utmost unanimity prevailed on
 the subject. The supply committee of the
 church consisting of eight gentlemen who had been to Brookline to hear Rev. MT. Thomas preach in his own church made their l report, which was unanimously in favor of calling him. They reported that they had
 made all necessary inquiries concerning him ! and his work among his people, which had | only heightened their favorable impression | of him. Remarks were made by Mir. De | Forest, Mir Law, Professor Baldwin and | others of the committee who went to Brook line, and by other members of the church. | The question of extending 8 call to MT. l Thomas was put to vote of the male mem
 bers Cby ballot), resulting unanimously in favor of calling MT. Thomas. Seventy nine | votes were cast. Then the ladies were given
 a chance to vote, by rising, and they also voted unanimously to call him. There were 1 ffty-eight ladies present. Thus it was 8 \ unanimous vote from all present.
 | Immediately after the adjournment of the church meeting legally warned society's meeting was held, which voted unanimously | to concur with the action of the church, and | the committee of supply was instructed to | communicate with MT. Thomas the action taken and take the necessary steps to accom- | plish the wish of the church and society. | MT. Thomas preached twice at the United | church recently, giving great satisfaction. | He is of English birth and education and was formerly pastor of 8 church in London. | He came to the United States on visit and | by chance preached in Boston and Brookline. l The Brookline church at once made an en- deavor to secure him for pastor and called l him. He expressed much pleasure at their l choice and desire, but requested them to in quire further concerning him and his work, I and committee of the church visited Lon | don, and the information they obtained con 1 irmed their purpose to secure him. He has preached for the Brookline church eight or l nine years and receives there salary of $5, 900. He is about 46 years of age, and | has a wife and an adopted daughter. The United church has some hope of securing 1 him.

Reclamation Of the Rev. Thomas R.
 Bacon Accepted by the Church-The
 Pastor Says it Was the Inevitable
 Course.
 There were about sixty ladies and gentle men present at the parlors of the Dwight Place church last evening when the special meeting of the church was held for the pur-
 pose of taking action upon the resignation of
 the pastor. pr. Robert Crane-was chairman
 of the meeting. In large letters in red chalk
 upon the blackboard at the rear of the room
 in conspicuous place near the door were
 the words "SaY Mo-" It was explained,
 however, by one of the dsaeons that they
 were used in connection with the last Sun
 day school lesson and referred to the invita- tions of the devil rather than the resignation of the pastor. The clerk, M. F. Bristol, read the following letter from the pastor: NEW HAVEN, Nov. 24. M Frank Bristol, clerk of the Dwight Place church:
 I enclose to you the letter which ! read yesterday resigning the pastorate. It is my l desire that the resignation should be accepted
 unanimously and without debate if pos l sible, as I can see no utility and much possible disturbance in 8 dis cussion of the matter. I desire above all things not to become the subject or any dls- l pute which might endanger the peace of the l church If those who are 10th to part with
 me will quietly submit to the inevitable, they will not only be doing me 8 great. personal favor, but also, am persuaded, will be do- 1 ing Gods service.
 1 Yours very sincerely, | THOMAS R. BACON. After the letter had been read a hush fell l upon the assembly, which was broken by a
 motion to accept the resignation. Several ot ! the members of the church expressed their
 regrets that their pastor should have felt it best to take the step he did, but as he had ! said it was the inevitable, they could see no other way out of it. A ballot was taken and l out of thirty-one votes cast only nine ! were against the acceptance of the 1 resignation. A formal ballot was then | taken with about the same result and that I was made unanimous. Deacon Miles Bristol, I Deacon John c. North and Carlos W. Clapp were appointed a committee to act with 8 committee from the society in calling coun-
 cil to dissolve the pastoral relations of MT. Bacon with the Dwight Place church. After | singing "Soft'y now the light of day fades
 upon my sight away" the meeting was de clared adjourned.
 The society will hold it's meeting next | Monday night. Mr. Bacon has been pastor \ of the church for four years
