 A unanimous call has been extended by the parish of Grace Episcopal church to Rev. E. l.. Sanford, rector of St. Thomas church, Willimantic The committee appointed to recommend a rector for Grace church, and consisting of Senior Warden S. K. Jones and Yes tryman E. H. Fenton, went to Willi- mantle last Sunday and listened to two sermons preached by MT. Sanford, and they reported that MT Sanford is a fine preacher and scholar and upon their recommendation the call was extended. MT. Sanford was ordained by Bishop Williams in 1887 and then took parish at Northport, L. l., which he worked up from a mission into prosperous little church. He was afterward rector of large church, which also employed an assistant minister. In addition to this work MT. Sanford had charge of missionary district with fifteen assist ants. This hard work broke down his health and he returned east and last February tool. charge of St. Thomas mission in Willimantic. The Chronicle says:
 "We are sorry to learn that Grace church has seen fit to call Rev. MT. San ford of St. Paul's mission in this city. for we can i'll afford to lose man so evidently well fitted to carry on the work which there is to do. Besides be ing a clergyman of ability and energy, he Is an amiable and popular citizen" !" MT. Sanford was educated at Trinity | college. If he accepts he will not come | to this city until February 1. The pas | torate of Rev. A. Douglass Miller will terminate the last Sunday in the year. He has not determined where he will | locate, but he is likely to travel for sev- eral months to regain his health. It is probable the parish will give MT. San | ford about $1,000 and the parsonage, or a total of $1,400.
