DIR. STIMSON'S RESIGNATION.

An Episcopal clergyman recently told story
Of how a faithful and Woodworking rector was
forced to resign his charge by the influential
woman Of the parish. her ground OF opposition
being the fact that his complexion did not har-
monizc with the chancel windows and furnish
ings Possibly the story was somewhat embel-
lished In the telling; but 1t Is certain that OBJ
jections quite as frivolous have often been sue
cessfully urged against clergymen In all demon
nations In the clerical profession adaptably
is often as necessary as ability. Indeed, with
out It, especially where the church is n purely
voluntary organization, depending for Its sup
port on the goodwill Of the people, 1t IL abso-
lutely essential that the pastor should be per-
sonally and socially, as well MS intellectual
ly, acceptable TO the members OF his flock. Ordl-
narily, a good al-around clergyman finds little
difficulty In meeting these requirements; but
the bestequipped man may utterly fail to do
so, owing TO many causes for which he Is In no
sense responsible Even though his people may
admit that he received his appointment from
on high, they are none the less sure that they
have the right to terminate 1t on any prctext
that they may see fit to urge. 1t is not only
in the divorce courts that incompatibIlity OF
temperament is recognized as Legitimate cause
ministerial call that was once looked upon
as directly inspired by the Holy Ghost
The resignation this last week under regret
table circumstances OF the Rev Dr.. Henry A.
StimsOn from the passionate Of the Broadway
Tabernacle. Of this city, is in many respects a
good illustration OF what we have been saying.
1t IL admitted by all who know him that he is
man of more than ordinary intellectual force.
AS an organizer and worker he has made an
honorable record in the churches Of which he
has been. n pastor, and personally he possesses
the manners Of a cultured Christian gentleman.
When he was induced TO leave his fourishing
st. Louis church. to become the pastor OF the
Broadway Tabernacle as the successor Of DIR.
Taylor, everybody believed that be was the ideal
man for the place. Yet, after Il short pastorate
he has felt 1t his duty to resign his charge,
owing to the passive II not active opposition OF
many members Of the CONGREGATION His faith
