IT'S PARENT PARISH
St. Michael,s and All Angels Locks
Toward St. Johns.
congregational Meeting Held to
Discuss the uDprosperous Con-
dition of the Church..

There is possibility that st. Michaers
and All Angels Protestant Episcopal
Church will be taken back into the parent
parish of st. Johns, from which 1t was
separated four years ago, Since the
resignation of Rev. Mr.. Ward from the
rectorShip, as already told in The Times,
the parish has been without a leader
A congregational meeting was held in
the church parlors last night and a, long
and earnest disc scuasiqn for the future well
fare OF the parish ensued. 1t is said that
there is strict harmony among the mem
bers Of the congregation themselves, but
that the numbers have thnned ont until
the parisa rs now a. Qor lie lnaeea.
With the passing of Mr. Bispham in
September OF last xeaf an unusual number
went, and the Organization has been drop
ping away ever since. The parish would
naturally grow financially poorer as
resi- ult.
AT the meeting last night the calling OF
a young clergyman of this city To the
rectorship was suggested andfinaliy agreed
upon. At the close OF the meeting the MEM
bers refused to give the name OF the clergy
man, but il was stated that he is now az
sistant rector in one of the large Episcopal
churches.
A committee OF four was named to con-
fer t4I!i4 yeT Uoe44y IND itlof6
at an early date TO the congregation. The
members OF the cDllIihbtcr are MeSSfh.
Gibson, Longstreets Matthews and Mesny.
In case of the refusal of he clergyman
to take charge of she church it was de-
cided that steps would be Immediately
Instituted 10 transfer the parish back to
st. Johns. This move would, Of course,
require the consent Of the yestry OF the
Older church, ayquestion upon which there
was some difference of opinion. In event
the younger parish is absorbed in the
older one an assistant rector from the
latter will be called to officiate in st.
Michael's. .-
