AT A BETTER SALARY.
Rev. Norman LaMarsh Is Assigned to
Caribou Passionate.

Bi1deford, Me, May 1.-Friends al
Rev. Norman LaMarsh Of Orono
many Of whom live in Biddeford, are
eratifed to learn that he has been APP
pointed pastor Of the Methodist Epis-
coral church in Caribou. This pays
$500 more salary than the Foss street
Methodist church in this city, To which
Mr.. LaMarsh was assigned by Bishop
at Augusta. Rev. ar. n. Josselyn was
offered the Caribou charge by the
bishop, but refused it and was APP
pointed conference. evangelist.
Local Methodsts look upon this as
a happy outcome Of the controversy
that arose on the protest of the Foss
street church against the arrangement
and which induced Bishop Hamilton TO
reverse mis- decision to disappointing
Mr. Joscelyn to Biddeford, ard now
closing the incident by sending Mr.
LaMarsh to Caribou.
Mr. LaMarsh has refraincd thus far
from taking part in the controversy,
but today the following statement was
received from Rev. John w. Hatch,
presiding elder Of the Bangor district,
asking that it be published il the
Globe:
"Sincc articles have appeared in the
public press relating to the appoint
ment of Rev. Norman LaMarsh to
Fcss street Methodist Espicopai
church, Biddeford, by Bishop J. ".
Hamilton. which have been misleading,
which have placed both the bishop
and Rev. LaMarsh in an awkward
position, and in false light before
the people. / feel it my duty as the
presiding elder Of Mr.. LaMarsh. both
for his sake and for the good name
and dignificd position Of our church,
to set the matter right
'Rev r.. y. Joscelyn, at the session
of the Maine conference, of his own
accord requested Bishop Hamilton to
appoint him conference evangelist in
stead Of returning him to the passionate
of FosS street church, Biddeford,
which request was complied With.
Rev. Norman LaMarsh was transferr-
cd from the East Maine conference to
the Maine conference and appoint-
pointed to Foss street church, Bidde-
ford.
Agitation and unrest, for which
Rev. LaMarsh was in no way respon-
sible, occurred in the Biddeford church,
which expressed a desire for the re
turn of Mr.. Joscelyn, and it has been
reported that Mr.. LaMarsh Gained
the Biddeford pulpit According to
the law of the church, it was certain
ly his right to have done SO, but he
did not by any word or act claim
that pulpit.
From the first intimation Of I'M
rest at Biddeford. Rev. Norman La
Marsh left the matter entirely in the
hands of the bishop. from whom ne
had received the appointment. and
acted the part Of fine Christian
gentleman, which he is always and
everywhere.
He has been a member of the East
Maine conference "a years, during
which time he has served some of
the weaker churches and some of the
very strongest and best churches in
the conference, always taking cheer
fully the work assigned him by the
conference, and performing his duties
with never-failing faithfulness and
efficiency. He is now pastor CT the
Methodist Episcopal church in Carl
bou, one Of the most important
churches i'll this conference"
