RECTOR's RESIGNATION.
Rev. O. r.. Bourne Retires Fror
Grace Episcopal Parish.

Rev. o. r.. Bourne Retires From
Grace Episcopal Parish.
Rev. Obre r. Bourne, rector of Grace
Protestant Episcopal Church, West Wash
il gton. has rendered his resignation of that
position 10 the vestry of the church and
the same has been accepted by them. to
take effect the LIST of October. Until then
Mr.. Bourne will continue in charge of the
parish. and in the meantime the vestrymen
have put themselves in communication with
the bishop of Washington, DR.. Satterlee, so
that it is expected that successor will be
found speedily In fact since the resigna-
ton of the rector several applications have
been received for the position, so much
sought after are Washington charges, and
the congregation will have a choice from
among a number of available cIergymen.
Grace Church is not as well known to the
Washington Episcopalians as some other of
their churches, principally on account of
its location. at sd street. below Pennsyl-
vsnia avenue, and consequently the resig-
nation of the rector comes as a surprise.
While the members of the parish decline
to make their internal affairs known TO the
public. still it is thought that Rev. Mr..
Bourne leaves the parish partly on account
OF its financial condition and partly on
count of his health.
The parish was formerly in charge of
Christ Church, West Washington, but is
now supported by its members with help
fl rom the board Of missions of the Episcopal
Church. 1t was founded in 1866 by Cover
nor Cooke, and for many years was looked
after by the congregations Of Christ and
st. Johns churches. Rev. Thomas o.
Tongue. rector of Grace Church, South
Washington. was at one time in charge of
Grace Church. and Rev. George Howell
who Immediately preceded Rev. Bourne
died in its ministry.
Mr.. Bourne took charge of the parish
about two years and a half ago, and during
that time he has erected a substantial rec
tory and considerably improved the church
He was born in Ireland, and after receiv-
ing thorough education at Trinity Col
lege. Dublin. came to this country and en-
tered the ministry of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church In Alabama, under Bishop Will
E;er. Since then he has served charges
in Georgia and Texas. 1t is the intention of
Mr.. Bourne tG remain in the diocese of
Washington If possible.
The future Of the congregation has not
been fully decided upon. but it has been
suggested that they give up their standing
as an independent parish and ally them
selves with stronger parish.

unued the case until Saturday of next
