WHITE RIVER JUNCTION.

The Hartford Congregational society Is
In state OF confusion owing TO the resig
nation Of their pastor, Rev Herbert W.
Boyd, which was rendered on the 12th
inst, and read to the meeting OF the So
ciety on the following day. The Free
Press correspondent in an interview with
the pastor requested him to express his
Views upon the matter. Mr.. Boyd said:
When the question arose last summer
considered It rather small affair. In
my letter to the supply committee under
date OF Sept. 4 1894, / stated that the
church OF to-day should be keenly inter
ested in every phase of the social and po-
litical life of the time; but that It's zeal
for righteous dealing with present day
problems should not be bounded by the
lines OF any party or class. And while the
pastor OF a church and members too may
have their decided preferences and convic-
lions which may bind them to their po-
lltical organizations in the whole work of
preaching and Christian endeavor the
church should bear no exclusive OF parti-
san name, but should deal with all ideas
and men and things on the highest plane
