When Rev. E. G. Sage, pastor of the
Grand avenue Baptist church, went to
Meriden to exchange with Rev. Mr.. Vince
lock one week ago yesterday it was at the
request of the latter, who is boarding at
Short Beach. Mr.. Wheelock recently
resigned the pastorats Of the Meri-
den church and Mr.. Sage's coming to
them was in the light of candidate, al
though he knew nothing of it at the time.
Upon Mr.. Sage's return home the past
week he received a call from the Meriden
church. While very grateful for the con-
fdence and esteem reposed in him,
Mr.. Sage replied that he could
not accept the invitation. He felt
I.that there was an important work to be
done in Fair Haven, and under the cir
cumstances he believed that it was his
duty to remain with his people. The
Grand avenue Baptist church people are
greatly pleased that Mr.. Sage is to remain
their pastor because they had learned of
the attempt to have him go to Meriden and
| feared they should lose him. The church
| in Meriden is much larger than the Fair
! Haven parish, but the latter is rapidly
growing and promises to become large
| church. Mr.. Sage is deservedly popular in
| the parish and the prospect of his remain
