Rev. f. p. Seymour, who has been pas
tor of the Congregational church here for
| five years. has resigned, to take effect as
soon as practicable. 1t is hoped he may
| be induced to reconsider his decision, as
| his leaving would be a great loss to the
! church and town. During his residence
here Mr.. Seymour has been an
earnest. conscientious worker, not
only for the church, but for the town
sparing neither time or strength in trying
to build up and advance every good
work. Through his instrumentality. the
parsonage and barn have been repaired
| and modernized at a large cost, over
! half of which was contributed by
| churches and individuals outside of Wen
dell The buildings are now the handsom
est in town and are monuments to his en-
! ergy and perseverance 1t will be hard tC
find another minister who will show al
much interest in the town as has Mr.
