call tendcred him by the people OF the Bap-
list church OF Boston, to become their pas
tor MIR Merrill was unable for some time
to sec his way clear to accept the offer
made to him, but one objection and anoth-
or dropped away until IL seemed that Prov
idonce was leading the matter aud he ac-
ceptod. Mr.. Merrill. and his estimable
| family have won for themselves very
large circle of friends who will bid good
bye TO these good people with sorrow. Mr.
Merrill does not feel that he is going away
| TO become stranger TO Colorado Springs,
but having so many friends and interests
here he will retain always the wish to re-
turn and will probably do so at least once
year; hence it will not be .'good bye
