regret, individually and as an associa-

He has been valuable supporter of the
association. His presence has been a
constant announcement and his counsels
timely and helpful We shall greatly
miss his cheerful and ready cooperation
jects under consideration. In the work
of the churches Of our order throughout
the city he has been ready to help in
every way possible. In che city mission
ary-society his clever judgment has aid
ed in solving difficulties. and in the de-
tails of this work he has not failed to
give time and effort whenever needed.
And this in spite of the varied and tax
ing demands of his own parish.
Resolved, That we give to Plymouth
church our assurance of interest in this,
the mother church of gationalism
in St. Paul. 1t is our earnest hope that
i'll the near future a pastor and leader
may be found under whose ninistrations
the present prosperity of the church, in
augurated by the pastorate of Rev G.
e. Soper may be continued.
Resolved, That we extend to the First
Congregational church, of Danbury,
Conn, our congratulations that they
have secured pastor of such excellent
record and evident ability. ~
We are only reconciled to the removal
Of Rev. G.. E. Soper from st. Paul by
the recognition of the fact that in tn.
church and community has need Of
strong consecrated men.
