ward c. Fowler and several spoke in
eulogy of the retiring pastor before the
vote was put and passed.

referred to Rev. Mr.. ~hayer's pastorate
as one in which much good had been
accomplished The years had been ones
of profit and many young people mad
been gathered into the fold. He re-
ferred especially to the helpfulness of
Mrs. Thayer.
Mr.. Lathrop spoke of harmony be-
tween pastor ard people and the fact
that great good had been accomplished
but he believed the pastor was called
to another church, and he thought the
resignation ought to be accepted, as
he believed that was what Rev. Mr..
Thayer expected.
Mr. Cowan, who had been one OF
the committee who called Rev. Mr..
Thayer to the church three and a half
years ago. commended the work of the
pastor and his wife as fruitful OF
blessings to the church and as produc-
tive of results which would be seen
as the years unfold. Between pastor
and people there was the kindliest
feeling and a thorough sense of bless
ings experienced.
The beautiful thing about this res
ignation said Chairman Gardner, was
the good feeling between pastor and
people, Rev. MI Inayef hau uoHe
work to be proud of and the church
can bid him godspeed for the journey
of life to carry on the same labors
with their hearty best wishes Mr.
Fowler also expressed his appreciation

cons and pastor to decide upon after

mess and the meeting adjourned.
Rev Mr.. Thayer has a call to 9
Baptist church at Wallingford anc
asked in his resignation that be might
be released from the church here as
soon after October l as might be con-
sidered advisable.

STEWART DOUGLAS.
Former Norwich Man for New YorI
State Senator.

The New Rochelle Pioneer of Sep
TENDER II says:
The candidacy of John F. Healy for
state senator is not running as smooth
~. it appears, as the local democratic
leader would wish --latest develop
ments show that Councilman Stewart
Douglas and his admirers are so I'M
grateful to the boss as to place the
coHneilman's name in opposition to
that of Healy in the race for senator.
This state of affairs, which also shows
disorder in the democratic ranks, is
said to daily increase the anguish of
Boss Healy and cause his prestige to
be dimmed not a little. The Douglas
cohorts admit quite readily that they
believe neither has q chance to land
the nomination. but want to show
Healy that he does not dominate local
democratic politics.
