The type of leadership re-
uuired is one for which I consider my
of service here a providential
preparation. It is among people whose
New England origins, prepossessions,
religious traditions, i understand. 1t
is in a section of the country and in the
midst of phases of church and denomi-
life thatI am interested to be-
come acquainted with. Moreover, the
opportunity offered in a rapid growing
town and presented to a church of the
character and resources of the Elyr1a
church is a challenging one. trust sim
cerely, besides, that it will be given me
to make some contribution worth while
to the common religious life ofthe COM
munity and to the interests of Congre-
gationalism as represented in b Ohio
churches. This conjunction OF the out
ward opportunity with the inward
sense of preparedness and personal OBJ
legation constitutes to my mind a true
call. I could not easily justify to my
self wavering or retreat from such a
summons. And friends SO good as
you are would be the last to wish me
to turnaside from a decision made i'm
perative by these circumstances.
I shall be deeply sorry and sore
hearted to leave this church, it's people
and it's associations. It vas the first
church to entrust me with the full re-

vice. It is the church in which I was
ordained to the ministry, in the
service of which I have learned to love
the work of preaching and shepherding
souls as I love life itself; into which I
have had the privilege, than which
none in the iworld is more precious, Of
welcoming many confessors of Christ.
Harmony, observation-disclosures. court
esq, hearty cooperation have been
your generous response to my leader
ship these dozen happy years. What
ever I am and am capable OF, as a
preacher and pastor, has been largely
attained in your service under the
stimuIous of your expectations and
by the enheartenment OF you loyalty
and appreciation.
I wish to thank you as poor words
may, for this generous personal re-
gard. this undertaking confidence, this
constant upholding of my hands, fol-
the perfect liberty / have enjoyed in
proclaiming the truth as I have seen
it; for your exceptional and often self

presented from time to time the need

talities of your homes and firesides
and for a comradeship in Christian
living and service out of which has
constantly come into my life enrich

And these thanks I make not only

JUDGE GRAY PLEADS FOR
OLD IDEAS OF LIBERTY

PITTsBURG. May 5-Judge George
Gray. Of Delaware. before returning homo
from Pittsburg. briefly olucidated his ideas
In opposition to the prevalent tendency OF
centralizing power in Washington. Among
other things he said:
I'VE have got too far away from the
old ideals OF Individual liberty and OF
personal responsibility. There Is too much
clamor for radical change IN the char.
acter OF our institutions and the objects
OF Dur law The old principles can b
Lrec 70 control modern business meth
DDS and prevent the Government ensag

LAS soon as we reject these things an'

law. we will introduce a comprehensive
policy into business affairs again.
Like President Wilson. OF Princeton
! believe we shall never moralize society
by fining or even dissolving corporations
we shall only Inconvenience IT, We. shall
moralize It only when we make up our
minds as to what transactions are repre-
hensible and bring those transactions
