We regret very much that Rev. W. @.
Curtis has rendered his resignation as pastor
of the First Congregational church in this
city. During the many years he has occa-
pied the position he has exempllfed the
character of Christian gentleman, and his
sermons have given evidence of scholarship
and deep thought. He touched many har-
monious chords In the hearts OF his congre-
CATION that will continue their melody
through life. 1t is to be hoped that he
will withdraw his resignation, as it
will be most difficult to nil the pastorate
with one 40 acceptable to the community,
and 80 able in the ministry.
