Rev. D. Wilmot Gateson of
Georgetown, we'll known in Smyrna,
who recently accepted the call ex-
tended by the vestry of Trinity
parish to become vicar of Old
Swedes church, has withdrawn
his acceptance of the call. The
reasons for this action are of
purely personal character, growing
out of certain unexpected develop
ments in Mr.. Gateson's affairs
which are of no interest to the pub
lie. One week ago there seemed
no doubt whatever that he would
assume charge of the old church or
June l, and his decision to the con-
trary has been received with sincere
regret by the authorities of Old
Swedes parish.
