running. and two OF his ships. laden with cot-
ton from tho South. were confscated by

prevented him from making as many pastoral
calls as they wanted.
When Mr.. Williams retired from the church
he went to Europe, where he remained until
about three months ngo. Since then he has
been living in Boston with his father-in-law,
Judge Wright of POS Beacon street.

understood it, Mr.. Williams had been asked to
fill the pulpit at Oakland for the winter only,

made. although tho Oakland church would un-
doubleday wish TO make him its permanent
minister. The Oakland church has been organ
