The protest OF the people of the Congre-
gational parish against accepting the
resignation OF Rev. r. b. Mathews as
pastor, expressed in resolutions adopted
by the parish and by special committee
appointed to wait upon Mr.. Mathews, has
had the desired effect. At the service last
Sunday morning, Mr.. Mathews withdrew
his resignation, and consented to remain
with this church a while longer. The an
nouncement is received with expressions
of qualification, not only by the people of
his parish, but by Mr.. Mathews many
friends outside his church.
The American Unitarian association
has advised the Ellsworth Unitarian
society that it expects in few
days to be able to send here a min
lister to be pastor at large OF the
churches in Ellsworth, Bar Harbor and in
the smaller towns of this conference.
This is in accordance with the plan pro-
posed by Rev. A. II. Coar at the county
conference this summer, favorable action
on which has already been taken by the
several churches and societies interested,
and the necessary funds subscribed. A
press despatch from Waterville to-day
says that Rev. Sydney s. Booth, recently
resigned as pastor of the First Unitarian
church in that city, has accepted the
appointment to the Hancock county con-
ference, and will take up the work here
about Nov. /. He will probably reside in
Ellsworth.
