Universal regret is expressed that the
Rev. Or. Clinton Locke is compelled by
the loss Of his vocal powers to retire
from the restorship Of Grace Episcopal
church, which he has held for the last
86 years. This is longer period than
any other Protestant clergyman in Chi
cago has been the pastor OF the same
congregation. Dr.. Locke's ministry ha'
been distinguished by great ability In
the pulpit and in the discharge OF church
duty, by dignity and elevation OF con
duct, by Christian purity and simplicity

He is held in affectionate regard by the
