During the past year q number of changes have occurred among the cler gy in this city. The pastors of sew eral churches have been transferred to other fields of labor and several new faces are seen in the puIpits of Wa terbury churches. Sad to record, death removed from the public gaze the figure of q clergyman who held an enviable position in the hearts and
 minds of the residents of this city. irrespective of race or creed. No longer is the familiar, stately figure
 of the former and beloved pastor of f the First Baptist church, the Rev F. ! J. Parry, seen about the city. On
 July IT, while in the ripeness of age
 and in the fitness and maturity of in tellectual powers, he went to his ever
 lasting reward. He has been succeed 1 ed as pastor of the First Baptist
 church by the Rev Oscar Haywood of
 Tennessee, who occupied the pulpit Of
 that church for the first time on Sun. day, December 14. Another familiar figure which is not seen so often in
 this city now is that of the Rev James ] H. O'Donnell, formerly pastor of St
 Johns church, Watcrtown. Father IO'Donnell, who is one of the best known clergymen in the state, was transferred from St Johns church to Ithe pastorate of St Mary's church, Norwalk, on March 22 His success sor is tho Rev John Loftus. On Jan Iuary 23 the Rev Charles E. Granger, pastor of the Third Congregational church, left Waterbury for Newark, IN. J., where he had accepted a call to
 the pastorate of tho Central Presbyter- jan church, one of the most influential Protestant churches in that city On i February 2S the Rev Benjamin F. Root of Bridgeport accepted call to
 the pastorate of the Third Congrega- tional church. At the New York East Iconference of the Methodist church.
 which was held in Torrington during the week commencing April 9, the Rev IF. E. Stockdale was appointed to sue
 ceed the Rev r. O. Tower as pastor of lthe First Methodist church, while the
 Rev J. B. Better was appointed success
 sor to the Rev W. E. Pruner as pastor
 of the Chapel Street Methodist church. On June 9 the Rev J. l.. Gardner re- signed the pastorate of the Advent church on Cherry street and later ac-
 cepted the superintendency of the Un-
 lion Rescue mission. On March p a lnew Catholic parish was established in i Waterville and Oakville which is
 known as St MichaePs parish. The
 Rev Matthew Traynor was appointed pastor of the new parish.
