 CHURCH OF THE RKuEEMER.
 There is no immediate prospect of suc. cessor being chosen to the Rev. Dr. Todd. The committee are in no hurry to i'll the va- cancy, but are biding their time and waiting to make the right selection. This they feel is no easy task, and that If they secure man who will be to their church all that pr, Todd was, they will be indeed fortunate. The Redeener church people were very united in approval of Dr. Todd and he was an ideal pastor and preacher to the congregation. The church will not have an abundance of suita- ble candidates to select from, but the salary paid will bring man of the right stamp and qualifications eventually without doubt. At present the committee have no particular man in view.
 A RUMoR.
 Rumor has it that one of our popular and eloquent Congregational clergymen, who has gone away on vacation trip after about eighteen years' service in New Haven, may not return to remain long, the rumor being that he has had one or more fattering in- vitations to preach during his absence as a candidate, and that from the indications tho congregations are most favorbly prepossessed in his favor.
