EKoNk PASTOR
Resigns After Nine Years-Rev. H. M. Kellogg Called to Church Near Hart ford,

At the Line meeting house last Sun- day morning MT. Kellogg delivered a sermon on Styles of Preaching, from the text Colossians 1: 2s, which held at the end, after some explanatory re- marks, read hs resignation of his nine years pastorate, to take effect at the end of May next. He has an unanimous and very hearty call to an- other church near Hartford. The resig. nation was as follows:
 To the Congregational Church of Vol
 untown and Sterling. and the Con-
 gregation Statedly worshipping
 My Beloved Peopl-Nearly nine years ago first stood on this sacred platform, an entire stranger before strange audience. I felt magnetically drawn toward you, and there was quick responsive feeling from you, which resulted in a hearty call to be- come your pastor. After due consid- eration I accepted, moving my family and household goods 240 miles from q distant parish.
 During these nine years have we la- bored together for the Lord. Here have my family of young children grown up. Many familiar faces have been called to their heavenly reward; many oth- ers specially the young, have gone elsewhere. I have been with you in many occa asions of festivity and joy, and also in shadowed homes of anxiety and distress and in the dark death chamber
 We have witnessed . refreshing re- vival of the church, and gathered in a rich harvest of souls. To God bo all the praise.
 The relation between the pastor and people is of the most sacred and per- nnanent kind, and should never be light ly regarded, indecorously tampered with. nor ruthlessly broken.
 These nine years made me, with only one notable, exception, the senior pastor of the Windham County Conference of over thirty churches, and of all the churches of all denominations, outside the cities of Norwich and New London, in all eastern Connecticut.
 My life being entirely conescrated to the gospel ministry, 1t is my highest desire and aim to labor where my Di- vine Master would have me, and where can be of the most helpful service to humanity.
 A wide door to a broader field of pastoral work is now unexpectedly opened to me, and 1t is the evident ordering of my Master, whose am and whom I serve,' arid cannot re- fuse the call of duty.
 Therefore, I hereby resign my paS- torate with you, and, according to my contract requiring three months. l will end of the month of May next, which will make a pastorate of exactly nine years, or at that date which may be mutually agreed upon between yorr present committee of the church and myself.
 It will be with great regret and sor- row, as go immediately to another
