The resignation is to take effect the
last Sunday in February. Mr.. Rackliff has
been pastor of the Congregatonalist
church for nine years, and during that
time he has become much endeared to the
members of his church aud made many
staunch friends in the community. This
step is much to be regretted by all, as his
going will not only be great loss to the
church but to the town as we'll.
The church have taken no action In re.
gard to the matter as yet, but it is to be
hoped that Mr.. Rackliff can be induced to
reconsider.

Resignation Of Rev. A. }. RacklIn
The members Of the alist

by the reading Of the following letter OF
resignation by their pastor Rev. A. ]
Rackliif, at the close Of the sermon Sun.
day last.
To the Island Avenue Congregational Church
and Society,"
DEAR BRETHREN After = pastorate OF
nearly nine years, the time seems to have come
in the providence Of God, when this delightful
relation of Pastor and people should be broken.
| therefore announce to you this morning my
resignation to take effect Feb. %. l make this
announcement with great reluctance because OF
the kindly feeling toward me that l know you
all cherish. Never had pastor more consider
ate and even indulgent people. shall never
cease to be grateful that the 6rstl years Of my
ministry have been given to you. In this, my
first pastorate, it was inevitable and to be ex-
pected that should make many mistakes. In
this regard at least, have met expectations.
Yet have had always very kindly critics. l have
been bound so closely to you all by the expert
ences Of joy and sadness through which we
have passed together, that 1t has been no easy
thing for me to bring myself to the decision
which have announced to you. That decision
been made necessary by the growing conviction
on my part that the time has come when a
change would be OF advantage both to myself
and to the church. therefore especially re-
quest that you will not ask me to reconsider,
but accept this decision as final. For myself
feel that no man may wisely devote all the
years of his early ministry to one field, however
inviting that field may be; for unless he be a
very remarkable man, he is almost sure to form
ideals, and adopt methods Of work, that are not
the best preparation for success in after life.
have no aspirations for a larger church nor
for an increase Of salary neither shall | seek
them. Indeed do not know that l shall take
any church for some months at least. | am
looking forward to few months of freedom
from pastors cares which l hope to use to
advantage in other ways.
l am glad to feel that | have had at least
some measures OF success in my work here. In
many respects our church has never been more
prosperous than now But the feeling has been
growing upon me that for the last year, have
failed to awaken on the part of this congrega-
tion that loyalty to our own church life, and
that interest and enthusiasm that are absolute
ly indispensable 20 the highest success in what
should be the distinctive work of the church.
feel very sure that new man with new methods
would do a kind of work that nee Is Just now to
be done, and for which have no special adap-
tation.
therefore ask that meeting of the church
and society be called as soon as may be couyen-
lent, to act upon this resignation, and appoint a
committee to confer with me with reference to
calling council for dismissal.
Wishing you grace, mercy and peace, am
Your friend and Pastor,

THE SPRING OF ETERNAL YOUTH

1t was Goethe, the great poet,
who called Carlsbad the Spring of
Eternal Youth. and Carlsbad truly
deserves that name. For centuries
this Spring has given forth the
waters which are drunk by the
hundreds of thousands that flock
there from all parts of the globe
in search of health. If it is incon-
venient for you to go to the Springs,
make them come to you. In other
words. you can carry the famous
Sprudel Spring around with you.
Buy the imported Carlsbad SprudeI
Salt. which is obtained from the
Sprudel Spring by evaporation. 1t
is the best natural remedy for con-
stipatiOn, catarrh of the stomach,
dyspepsia, and liver and kidney

used during the Spring and Sum-

morning he would offer resolution TO

festly the sense of the entire senate
that Lieut. Gov. Ives waived the for
mality OF putting it to vote and de-
clared that it would be taken as the
sense OF the senate. Committee reports
then began TO pour in by the dozen, but

hoped that before the opening of the
new school year in September all of

The agents are also instructed to in
form the Indians that probably within
the next month commission will be ap-
pointed to settle the question of q

Rosebud, and that orders have already
been given for the establishment of

the Indians very fully and very en-

money and the furnishing OF supplies.
