Rev. III. A. Roberts, D. D., q former
pastor of the Baptist church here, has
resigned as pastor of the Baptist church
in Montpelier, VT, where he has been
for the past few months, and has &C.
copied a call to the pastorats of the
Baptist church, at Block Island, r. l.,
where he was formerly pastor for six
years. He went from Block Island to
Montpelier last March, and will now re-
turn there as permanent pastor. The
Montpelier Daily Journal Of the 2Sd
says of him: "The members Of the
church of which DR.. Roberts has been
pastor for these several months as well
as the people Of Montpelier who have
had the pleasure of becoming acquaint-
ed with DR.. Roberts and his wife will
regret very much his decision to leave
but they are generous in well wishes,
DR.. Roberts in turn has nothing bu,
words Of praise for the kindness be-
slowed upon him while here but he
feels that Block Island is a good deal
like home and that permanent pastor.
ate is more desirable than one that
would involve an annual election. DR..
Roberts is a powerful preacher and il
much beloved as man and pastor be-
sides. The able manner in which he
assumed charge Of the big Baptist con
vention recently held here is evidence al
30 of his administrative ability. He will
finish his labors in this city on January
l."
