The usual Sunday morning services at Trinity church were somewhat changed February 28, by the reading of letter of resignation, which had been sent the latter part of the week by the rector to the vestryman. The document was presented by the Rev o. 0. Paine, reading as follows:
 To the Wardens and Vestrymen of Trinity Parish, Mechanically dear Brethren:
 Having received call to the work of General Missionary in the diocese of Western Massachusetts, I herewith hand you my resignation as rector of Trinity parish.
 Most of the members of your official board were members of the vestry which called me to the rectorship of the parish five years ago, and I wish to bear testimony that not for a single day have I had reason to feel that the cordial sympathy which you pledged me then has been lacking. If any work of strengthening or upbuilding, spiritually or materially, has been done in the parish during these five years past, the secret of it lies in the fact that you have given every helpful as- sistance to me in devising the work, and have stood loyally at my shoulder to see the work accomplished. My great ambition has been that, in what. ever we shoud undertake, Gods name might be glorified in us; and I have endeavored so to live and work among you that Gods blessing might be rich ly yours. None more than I can realize the points at which that en- deavor has broken down.
 I cannot hand you my resignation without expressing my deepest thanks and gratitude for the hearty good will with which was received on coming here, and for the constant kindness and affection which have been shown me by the people of the parish, and by the people of the community, since the day came among you.
 Sure am that future of large use- fitness and blessedness waits fo1 Trinity parish. In your deliberations, with reference to the choice of my successor, may God the Holy Ghost direct and guide. May the lot fall upon wise and true and faithful pastor and may you and he, as co-workers here for God be ever sanctitied and strength ened by his grace and visited with his continual love aud favor.
 The new church building will soo1 be ready for occupancy, and the Bishop has expressed his readiness to conse crate it during the week beginning April IT. If entirely agreeable to you 1 would wish that my resignation die not become effective until the day fol lowing the consecration of the church
 Believe me, my dear brethren, af fectionately yours,-[Frederick F Johnson, Redlands, February 9, 1904 Although most of the parishioner were aware that Rev MT Johnson ha, received this call, what his decision
 would be was unknown, although thos

FULFlLLS EVERY CLAIM.


 bETTs x BE1Ts' HALF PRICE OFFER OF DR AMEs' PLEASANT SPECIFIC
 PROVES TO BE POPULAR MOVE. "I've sold hundreds of bottles of this famous specific since the company granted me the right to sell their soc size for 25c and guarantee cure," said Druggist Betts, the popular druggist, to BEE representative yesterday. "and 1 haven't heard of a single case where 1t failed to do all I claim it will It is wonderfully effective medi cine in curing chronic constipation and dyspepsia. It causes the bowels to move regularly and so stimulates the digestive juices that all traces of in- digestion are swept from the system."
 If you are troubled with specks be- fore the eyes, belching of wind, sour stomach, headaches, biliousness, bad breath, muddy complexion, cratic ap- petite, dizziness, constipatio or bowel bothers of any description, take ad- vantage of Betts & Betts' liberal offer, for there is no medicine in this wide world that will cure you so quickly or thoroughly as will Dr Ames' Pleasant Specific. Betts & Betts' drug store is at Sandy Hook, and they will mail you package for the half price, if it is inconvenient for you to call on them.

 Rarely has series of magazine arti- cles aroused so much advance interest as that on "The Two Paciics," which Harold Bolce was commissioned to write for The Booklovers Magazine. MT Bolce left Philadelphia in December with instructions for to go direct to Japan. They wanted him to be close to where things were happen idg, so that whether he wrote of war or peace his articles would command the same attention. The first install ment appeared in the March number. It gives striking picture of the limit less possibilities of Pacific commerce and of the grasp our alert' W estern states are taking of them. It shows what can be done and how we are pre- pairing to do it. It is broad enough for the general reader absorbed in the dramatic view of the worlds center of gravity shifting before his eyes. It is specific enough to show the business man where he may cut off slice of the unprecedented prosperity that's coming, and to point out the rich har- vest of peace that no wars or rumors of wars can more than momentarily check. There will be maps in color, photographs of the strategic points in the East, and diagrams that skim the cream of volumes of statistics.

THE EARLY ENGLISH CHURCH.
The Line of Bishops as Enthusiastically
Traced.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In reply to the question OF your CORE
spondent IN regard to the early English Church
and its eccIesiastc head. permit me to give ths
following facts
The Archbishops OF Canterbury. through Wnorn
the succession OF the English bishops IL usually
traced received their succession not. as Is o1ten
said from Rome. but from Aries. France. Angus
tin the first saxon bishop. having been conse-
Grated at Aries by Virgilius. tho twenty-rourth
Bishop Of Aries and Etherius. tho thirty-Iirst
Bishop OF Lyons. with other bishops OF that prov
ince. The reason why Augustine was consscratsd Al
Aries was that from tpe time OF the Emperor
Honorius Aries had been ranked as the metro
politan city OF Gaul while at still earlier period
the whole province reckoned as the DIOCESE
Of Lyons The succession. therefOre, very properly
comes through the two lines OF Lyons and Aries.
and providentially the bishops OF both diocesss
assisted IN the conservation OF Augustine the nrst
Bishop OF Canterbury. There Is also a Welsh Linz
OF bishops which Is traced back TO James Aphsuse
one OF the Apostles and the first bishop OF Jsru-
salem. (See Chapin's Primitive Church" pags
s25) Tho following IS correct list OF that Inc
Of bishops which reaches from ths APOSTLE 81
