remain as the shepherd of his people.
At recent meeting OF the vestry of
the church the rectos was induced to
withdraw his resignation, and the I'M
fortunate intrusion upon the peace and

remain carries with II a thrill of relief
and JOY. Though the rector has been

and has made an acceptable rector.
