Rev. j. Howard Parshley, pastor of the
| First Baptist church at Rockland, has ac-
| cepted the call from the First Baptist church
| in Lawrence Mass, and will probably enter
upon his duties there soon. Mr.. Parshley
has been receiving $3.50 year from the
| local church and it is understood that the
| new pastorate is all even better one from a
| pecuniary standpoint. The report that he
| leaves Rockland as the result of his recent
scathing sermon on whist playing is en-
tirely unfounded. Rev MIR. Parshley enjoys
the deepest respect of his Pensioners. who
have done their utmost to prevail upon him
to remain. During the five years he has
been in Rockand he has brought the First
Baptist up to point where it is recognized
as one of the most powerful pastorates of
that denomination in the State. Exchange.
