When the COWS come home.
With ringle, rangIe, ringIe,
By twos and threes and single,
The COWS are coming home:
Through violet air we see the town.
And the summer sun a-slipping down;
The maple in the hazel glade
Throws down the path longer shade,
And the bills are growing brown.

Surprise and consideration was the
experience of tie members of the First
Baptist Church when Sunday morning,
Immediately after delivering his SER
mon, the Rev. Charles ID. Parker, the
pastor, announced that he desired to
sever his connection with the church.
It was as thunder Lolt from clear
sky thrown into their presence, so
sudden and unlocked for had the action
of the pastor been. Mr.. Parker has
been filling the pulpit of this church
for seven years, and during his pas-
torate over 200 members have been
added to the flock. He wns ardently
devoted to the best interests of his cor
gregat.on, and some years ago they
wanted to increase his salary, but the
minister objected, stating he thought
ne was being paid about all they could
afford to give him. This Iastor gave as
his reason for rendering his resignation
that he thought his work in Cape May
was finished, and that he ooud do
better service elsewhere Hardy q dry
eye was visible in the congregation
after the announcement. Mr.. Parker
has accepted call from the North Ban
tist Church Of Wilmington, Del, and
will take his departure about the last
