NORTHFIBLD, MASS.
A Congregational Pastor Called

Rev. G. l. Schofield has accepted the
call to the pastorate of the Mortified Con-
gregational church. A despatch from Dali
las, Tex, says: REV. G. 1. Schofeld
last night rendered his resignation as pas
tor of the First Congregational church, he
having accepted the charge of the church
at Northfield. This appointment carries
with it the position of leader in a young
mems training class of 90 persons, and al
so the biblical instruction of 800 students
in the Moody school at Mortified. To a
large extent Rev. Mr.. Schofields sudden
resignation is identified with the suppress
Sion of prize-fghting in Dallas. He was
the most active member of the Dallas pas
tors association which so energetically
made war on Corbett- Fltzsimmons and 9TH
er matches scheduled at Dallas. His atti-
tude was not by any means satisfactory to
the more conservative members of his con-
gregation from among the business men of
Dallas, and a change of pastorates is one
of the sequels."
