Close OF a Successful Pastorate.


Close OF Successful Passionate.
Last Sunday morning Rev. Geo. N.
Kellogg preached his farewell sermon
at the Congregational church in Nor
risville. His parting words were
based upon a text found in Paul's
letter to the Corinthians, his theme
being Glove" His sermon was heard
by good sized congregation and,
was a scholarly, interesting effort.
Characteristic of the man the sermon
was closed with a few well-chosen
words of thanks to the congregation
for their kindness during his pastor
ate here and words of encouragement
and hope for their future prosperity.
Mr.. Kellogg has served as pastor of
the Cong'l church here for the past
seven years and over, and this service
has been productive of much good
and has been attended by noticeable
degree of unity in all branches of
church work. Much credit is given
Mr.. Kellogg for his part in the build
ing of the new church. He came here
when the society was realizing the
necessity of a movement of this kind
and it was largely through his energy
that the new church was built in '95.
sarsoj3ct that it was thought impos-
'sible to carry out.
Mr.. Kellogg's resignation was to
have taken effect May /, but as he
was to remain in town until his
daughter, Miss Nellie, was able to, be
moved, he consented to supply until
the present time.
He is preacher far above the aver
age, and has done a work for the
Morrisville church, although under
great difficulties, fully equal to any of
bis predecessors. He was a man that
was very much liked in the COM
munity, and all will join in regrets
that his health would not permit of
his staying with us longer, inside and
and outside of his own church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kellogg and Miss
Nellie went to Waterbury Monday
morning where they will visit his
brother, Rev. +. B. Kellogg, for few

the best wishes of a host of friends
go with him.
