Unitarians Accept Resignation of Rev.
d. M. Wilson.

There were "a members of the Unita
rian parish at the meeting which was
called last Monday night to consider the
resignation OF Rev, D. NJ, Wilson. One
of the members had interviewed Mr. VIII
son and found that there was no use IN
asking him to reconsider his resignation
as his decision was final. 1t was voted to
accept his resignation and give INN his
dismissal Dec ], the date on which he
asked for it. Ii is with much reluctance
and with deep feeling of loss to the par
ish that they accept the resignation A
committee was appointed to arrange for
candidates Charles II. Webster, Edward
Pratt, Benjamin Field and Clinton Ware.
Being urged by members of his parish to
remain in town and preach last Sunday,
Rev. ID. NJ. Wilson did so in the place of
Rev. +. III. Kent of Northampton. who
had been advertised to preach.
The letter of resignation from Rev. Dan
iel Nj. Wilson and read by Benjamin
follows: To the congregation and So
ciety at the first parish in Northiield,
Greeting: For almost six years we have
labored together as pastor and people for
the furtherance of the ends of religion.
Looking backward this seems a brief pc
Rod. 1t has been long enough for us to
learn to know one another and to value
the sacred fellowship Oh our WORK ana
worship And now to sever the relation
ship which has been growing ever more
intimate between us as pastor and people
is an action far from easy to perform.
Perhaps it seems ungrateful on my part
when your loyalty and devotion are taken
into considerations perhaps unapprecia
tive of the Importance of liberal Chris
tan church in this place. 1t is, however,
after very serious reflection that | have
come to the conclusion that this severance
should be made. This ancient First Par
ish will not halt in its progressive career;
there is for me and the parish in Kenne-
bunk, Me, to which | have been called,
promise of enlarging life and achievements.
therefore resign the pastorate of the
First Parish in Mortified, such resigna-
ton to take effect the lst of December,
1909 With sincerest wishes for advance
ment in the highest things of our Chris
tan religion. | remain. Truly yours,
