REV. DENTON J. NELLY
Receives Unanimous Call to Baptist
 Church of Gloucester, Mass.

The First Baptist church of GIouces- ter, Mass, has extended a call to Rev. Denton J. Nelly, pastor of the First Baptist church of Danielson, to be- come their pastor, to succeed Dr. Gibbs Braslin. The church has been without a pastor for nine months. The call was unanimous on the informal ballot. the first in the history of the church.
 The call to Mir. Nelly comes from the most influential Baptist church in that part of Massachusetts and one of the leading churches of the city of Glouces- ter. MT. Nelly has preached at the church on two recent Sundays and the unanimity with which the call for him to accept the pastorate was made is evidence of a quick appreciation of his tofore been filled almost exclusively by doctors of divinity. While MT. Nelly is sensible of the fact that a great duty presses upon him in this oppor- tunity, he has not as yet filed his res ignation with his Danielson church. This is his first pastorafe, he having come here in 1905, the year of his graduation from the Newton TheoIogi- that time have been fruitful ones for the church under ads charge. He has had the united and cordial support of his people and the influence that has that he has achieved. His church has grown. It has a half hundred, more members, 1t has a larger Sunday school, its financial condition is strong It is an active. well organized, con- tented society, reaching out to fill wider sphere of usefulness. Mir. Nelly has had leading part in bringing about this happy condition. This call that may mean the separation of the pastor and his present charge comes to cause sincere regret overshadoWing the realization that it has been ex- tended in recognition of exceptional ef- hciency and preparedness to carry on a greater work.
