DR.. NUTT|NG
TO RESIGN

II was with great surprise and profound
regret that the congregation at the
Union Congregational church on Broad
street received from Rev. Wallace Nut

For 10 years or more Dr. Nutting has
occupied the pulpit at the Union church

ministers have ever achieved the popular
ity and the esteem in which ne is held.
not only among the members OF his pas
torate but by all throughout the city
who have ever listened TO his magnetic
eloauence or known the value of his
friendship.
Let the pastors resignation letter ex-
plain HIS motives. IT is as follows:
Beloved Frends-For a long time ] have
doubted whether ] could continue TO car
ry responsibility for the pastorate OF your
church While you have all been uni
formly considerate, TO a remarkable de-
gree. and have never hinted at any dis
satisfaction on your part. nevertheless
the duties OF the pulpit and the parish are
too onerous for my strength. | had hoped

years pastorate with the first Sundoy OF

from my duties as pastor with the first
Sunday In January. 1905.

say all that Is In my heart. our relations
have been. so far as your attitude toward
me is Concerned. almost ideally delight
full. I will not permit myself to enumerate
the changes In the church. its promotions

sons and losses. Suffice IL TO remember
that we have been sympathetic together,
that we have kept the faith, and that we
do not separate, except officially.
My sense OF your goodness to me- OF the
high average Of Christian character
maintained by you. OF your quiet stead
fastness. will always remain In my heart
In the nature OF things ] can never have
another pastorate like this, have no
prospect in that direction and seek none

With cheerful sweetness and fullness OF
faith. let US continue In the love we cher
ism. we'll aware that our life consists In
the richness OF its relations.
May I ask you TO unite with me In call
ing council 10 which this letter may be
referred. Most affe-tionately.
WALLACE NUTTING
Mr.. Nutting is a graduate OF Harvard
college. and although he was born In
Massachusetts and educated in the East
his previous pastorates were In St Paul
Mimi. and Seattle. During his stay here
the church has been In prosperous con IL

debt Of nearly $4,000 that existed al that
time. and since then has kept the church,
practically free from debt.
