Rev. Mr.. Bayley has Word to Say.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The sermon preached in State street
church last Sabbath morning was intended
as a statement of facts, as such alone it has
significance and value. So far as / know
but a single statement made has been i'm
pugned, and as to that statement / will
thank you for opportunity to say an ad-
ditional word As to the spirit of the dis
course, and the purpose which inspired it, l
have nothing to say. it must speak for itself.
My statement as to the use of intoxicating
liquor by pupils Of our public schools has
been denied. In view of this denial | wish
to say, first, that my statements were made
upon the authority of teachers, and in their
own words, save that, by an error which
regret, though it is not in the least mater
ial, gave the age of the kindergarten child
referred to as mine years." when | should
have said five" This is, believe. the only
erroneous statement in the sermon. And,
secondly, | desire to say that | have the
written statement of these teachers made
subsequent to the preaching of the. sermon,
that the facts were as stated in the discourse.
The Mayor states, concerning the Kinder
ten, that mo child there has ever been in
toxicated." Two teachers of that school af-
firm over their signatures that "a child five
years old frequently comes to the Kindergar-
ten with every appearance OF being under
the influence of liquor"
The other teacher referred to, after de-
claring that her former statement was true
according to my (her) understanding of the
words" adds lit is quite evident that they
drink something which impairs their intel
lectual ability, many of them habitually."
To my mind those declarations justify the
statement of the sermon that "the nefarious
business of the rumseller is reaching even
into our public schools for its victims"
Yet | would call attention to the fact that
this particular subject is but single and
subordinate item in the indictment Of facts
presented by the sermon.

PINE STREET CHURCH.
Farewell Service in the vestry Last
Evening.

The congregation and friends of Rev. Z.
S. Stackpole of Pine street M. e. church met
in the yestry of the church last evening to
bid him farewell before his departure for
Rome as missionary. Capt. A. j. Petten-
gill called the meeting to order, and Rev. w.
S. Jones, assisted by Rev. A. w. Pottle, was
presiding elder. The exercises opened with
music and Bible reading, which was followed
by prayer by the Rev. w. S. Jones. After
the prayer purse of money. contributed by
those present, was presented to Mr.. Stack
pole by Mr.. Pettengill, in graceful manner,
after which the following resolutions were
read and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, our pastor and friend, Rev. &C. s.
Stackpole, has been called TO a broader and more
responsible field of labor; therefore,
ResoIved That we acknowledge with the deep
est gratitude the sef-sacrificing and noble manner
in which he has ministered to the spiritual and
temporal wants of this church.
Resolved, That in parting, our kindost wishes
and prayers will ever attend him.
Among those to express regret at Mr.
Stackpoles departure and bid him Godspeed
in his new work were Rev. w. S. Jones,
Rev. A. w. Pottle, Rev. Roscoe Sampson
and Rev. N. T. Whitaker. A number of the
members of the congregation made brief re-
marks expressive of their sorrow at being
obliged to bid their pastor farewell. In re-
spouse to the many kind words of his
parishioners, Mr.. Stackpole said: II have
very many things on my mind that would
like to say, but owing to the lateness of the
hour will say but few words. / came to
this church thinking it to be the call of
Providence and have endeavored to raise the
church to a broader faith. yet have not
seen all accomplished here that would like
to see. came here for the good | could do,
not for the good / might receive. From fif-
teen years ago l have been urged by friends
to travel abroad. have become more and
more interested in missionary work, and it
seems to me that the Lord is answering all
my prayers and granting all my wishes. To
be separated from friends is a great loss t0
me, but trust you will pray for Italy and
the success of the work there hope Gods
blessing may be with you and bye and bye
we may expect to meet again in heaven"
The benediction was then pronounced,
after which Mr.. Stackpole held an informal
reception. Mr.. Stackpole will go to New
York on Saturday, and sail from that city
for Rome on the 8th of February.
