REV MR. NUDE CLOSES HIS WORK IN
KENT.

KENT.
Rev Howard Nude closed his pastoral |
labors with the Congregational church |
on Sunday, the II b inst. The large con- |
gregations, morning and evening, were |
such as are rarely seen in our village, |
and though the pastor carefully avoided |
any play upon the emotions, there were
tears in many eyes The evening ser
mon upon Christ's rejection at Nazareth
was an impressive appeal to the uncon-
verted. At the close of the morning SER
vice the church organized itself into q
business meeting by appointing Dea
Levi Stone, moderator and Dea NJ. G.
Gibbs, scribe. Henry Spooner pre-
senred the following resolution which
was adopted unanimously and ordered
to be placed on the records of the
church:
"Whereas, Rev Howard Nude, hav-
| ing completed the term of one year for
which he consented to serve this church,
has now signified his purpose to enter
another field, we, the First Congrega-
tional church of Kent, desire to put on
record our appreciation of his ministry
among US.
Mr. Nudes preaching has been with
marked ability, earnestness and power,
in deep conviction of eternal verities,
with the result of large congregations
and the spiritual quickening of many.
At his suggestion, Rev 81. w. Pope was
invited to hold special services in May,
in which the pastor heartily and eff
ciently co-operated. OF the large num-
Der who at that time expressed pur-
pose to Lead Christian life, the great
majority have united with this church,
and instead Of q dreaded reaction follow
ing the work of an evangelist, we have
had continued interest in the public
services, noticeable, especially in the
good attendance and participation in the
| prayer meetings, even in the summer sea-
son. The accessiOns during the year
have been 80 by confession and IL by
= letter.
We recall Mr. Nudes sympathy with
the poor, the sick, the young his guild
ing influence with young men his care
full leadership Of the Junior En0eavol
7 society which he inaugurated his helI
, in every department of the church's &C
tivities his care and solicitude for souls
evinced in personal work which eter
nifty alone will reveal. Our love ant
prayers will follow him and his goot
wife and helpmate wherever they may
CO."
