has been manifested here in the proceedings
Of the examining council called by the Con-
gregatlonal church Of Waldoboro to investi-
gate the doctrinal views held by Rev. Her.
bert l. Senior, the pastor Of the church. Mr..
Senior came from England, where he was
settled over the parish at Goale, to accept
the pastorate of tue church here, and during
the past year has won many warm friends
and supporters. The council declined to in
stall Mr.. Senior, not by reason of heretlcal
views, but because of the division In the
church. Mr. Seuior's examination was a
source of qualification to his friends. and
was brilliant aud scholarly statement of
his views. The church membership is small
but the parish is large and influential, and
the latter gives Mr.. Senior so strong sup
port that she action of the council will not
affect his remaining here.
