Atwater for the yast six years and that
his being obliged to give up bis paste.
rate here might be regarded almost
in the light OF public misfortune.
He had long deliberated before he
had decided to accept the pastorate
He loved his people at Brattleborc
passionately and he fe't the great re
sponsbiity devolving upon the pastor
of this church.
AS yet he had never been accused
Of !aziness and would try and do hi'
best. He might not be as successful
as Mr.. Alwater had been. He askes
for the loyal sympathy, support ant
love of the reople and also wantee
them to tell him all they desired ii
him as their pastor. While he wonle
not promise them to agree In ever,
respect he said he should keep hif
eyes ears and heart open SO that NJ
might serve them well.
