ceived by the session of the East End
Presbyterian church for the pastorate
which was made vacant by the resigna-
ton CT Rev. d. A. Murray, who will
leave soon as missionary to Japan.
The resignation of Rev. Murray was re-
ceived with much regret by the trus-
tees and congregation of the church

ously. and it would have caused uniyer-
sal satisfaction had he continued 1t

more acceptable to him and more bene-
ticlal in its results, especially as he
hiss had several years experience as a
teacher in Japan and is thoroughly
conversant with the situation of affairs
on the island. None of the applica-
tons have been acted upon and the
church still remains without pastor.
