Rev. Gaius Glenn Atkins, D. D,
pastor of the First Congregational
Church in Detroit, Mich, and former
pastor of the First Church at Burl-
ington, has decided to accept the call
extended to him from the Central
Congregational Church in Provi-
dence, r. L., to become it's pastor. He
has notified his parishioners in De.
troit of his decision, and his formal
resignation soon will be offered. 1t IS
thought that DR.. Atkins will assume
his new pastoral duties about the be-
ginning of the New Year. In making
this change, he has been actuated, so
he has stated, by the belief that hi.
can find in a college city a broader
field of usefulness than offered in a
parish elsewhere. The parish to
which he has been called in Provi-
dence is one of the wealthiest and
most influential in Rhode Island. 1t
was founded in 1850 under Che name
of the Benefit Street Congregational
Society. Its growth has been side by
side with that of the city of Provid-
ence, and it has reached it's present
plane of usefulness largely through
the efforts of Rev. Edwerd c. Moore
d. D., now of the Harvard faculty.

Dr.. Harriet Parker, who went from

best 20 years of her life to the wo-
men and children. She gives more
than 10000 treatments a year, doing
the work of two or three in one of
the blacklist spots in the world. Her
physicians say she has a tuberculdr
trouble which may prove fatal if she
isn't relieved. She cannot ON
home for there is no one to take her
place. 1t is hoped without Interior
ing with regular gifts to save Dr..
Parker's life and relieve her.
