Pastor Called.

Rev. John II. Reid OF Newburyport,
Mass. Asked TO Become the Pastor of
the Congregational Church 49, his
Good Record and Promising QualIfca-
lions.
The Congregational church voted unan-
imouslv Tuesday evening to call Rev. John
II. Reid Of New buryport, Mass. to become
its pastor to fill the place made vacant by
the death of Rev. j. Ellsworth Fullerton,
which occurred October q. The church
has been supplied during the past three
months bv ministers from a distance, many
of whom came as candidates. Mr. Reid
preached here two Sundays in the month
of January proving himself an able preach
er. and later investigation has shown him
to be in every other way eminenty fitted
for the place. AiA,
He is a native of Arlington this state
is 80 wears old. a graduate of tale college
and of Yale Theological seminary. He
studied for a time at Edinburgh, and at
Oxford, England. He has a wife and two
children For some years he was engaged
as a general missionary in the state of Col
orado, but his first and only pastorate be
gan in Newburyport, Mass, in 1892. He
has been very popular as a preacher and
citizen there. Ills reason 1Or lnUlmatlnE
he might make change is the excessive
number of Congregational churches in
that city, there being FIVE, which, coupled
with the decrease of business and popula-
ton there the last few years renders his
work cramped and the outlook for advance
ment small He is spoken of by those who
know him as being peculiarly manly
man, having traits of character which
commend him strongly to mem" He is
leader in public matters, as well as church
affairs. and his people are strongly attached
to him; particularly strong with young
men, entering into their sports and labors
with enthusiasm.
For many years the Bellows Falls church
has had as pastors those who have been
fitted to be leaders in church affairs OF the
vicinity and state The expectation is
that, should Mr.. Reid accept the call and
come here he will continue to hold the
place among other churches. This church
has had but two pastors in Is years. The
church is to procure a parsonage for him,
which has not been done before 1t is not
definitely determined whether they pur-
chase at present or hire one for time.
