the money, and thorough search was made

still had the package, which she carried with her

WILL COME TO SUPPLY.
Rev. stebbins' Partial Acceptance OF
the Call Of the Unitarian Church.


the Call Of the Unitarian Church.
Rev. Koderick Stebbins of Milton, Mass, has
by letter just received expressed his deep appre-
citation of the confidence and respect shown him
by the unanimous call given him by the Unitar-
ian Society of this city, and given assurance of
his desire to act in perfect sympathy with that
confidence. Yet in view of the fact that the
Milton society. OF which he is now the pastor ur-
gently desire him to remain, and that he has
misgivings as TO his ability to bring the church
here to the degree of efficiency expected and his
adaptation to the character OF the work..here, he
proposes to spend the next two months here to
supply the pulpit and become acquainted under
an arrangement that neither party be bound TO
the other beyond such brief period, at the end of
which, upon scquaintances formed, judgment
can be formed whether it viii be wise for him
and this society to work together.
The board of trustees has telegraphed their
acceptance OF this arrangement, and it is antici-
pated that Mr.. Stebbins will supply the pulpit
during January and February, probably begin
ming on Sunday, December IS.
