 The Groton Review says of the res ignation of Rev. A. J. Mcleod, who leaves that place to take the Stafford Springs Congregational pastorate: 'Mr Mcleod has been pastor of the Congrega- tional church ill Groton for almost II years. The church and society have prospered under his wise, conscientious and sympathetic ministrations, and as the years have come and gone, he has had the pleasure and satisfaction of receiving very many into the church who have be- come bright and shining lights in the community. To these, as we'll as the older members of the church, his resigna- tion is 8 source of deep and profound grief. It can truly be said of him that he is man of the people-entering into their joys and sorrows, sympathizing with their griefs and trials, and rejoicing with them in their hopes and aspirations Such is his record as a pastor. As cit. izen he has taken a lively and helpful in. terest in the affairs of the town, and ir every movement having for it's object the . development of our village, he has either been the leader in the project or has lent his aid in it's support. His enthusiasm ir the possibilities of Groton have been re. markable, and, while at times he may have made mistakes, they have been CT TOTS of the head and not of the heart TC the school board his departure will be 8 genuine misfortune. The school, in its various departments, has prospered under his careful leadership, and while, at the time, some of his methods may have beer called in question, time has shown the wisdom of the course he has pursued The church and community have in him an implacable foe of the saloon, and while, politically, we differ with him as to methods, yet we have confidence ir the integrity of his purpose and purity o his motives, and bid him God-speed 1T his new field of labor"
