Lewiston, Me. Nov. 3.-A rumor was
current in these cities Wednesday TO the
effect that Rev Fred NJ. Preble. for the
past IL years pastor of the Court street
Baptist church. Auburn. was to resign

DR.. Preble. when inquired of by a re-
porter concerning the authenticity OF
the report declined to discuss the mat
ter. He would neither deny or confirm
the runor.
This report does not come altogether
as surprise. as it is well known that
DR.. Preble's health has not been of the
best for the past year or more and
that the strain OF his work has been
great. Last year for this reason he
was granted. by the church, long va
cation. which did him a deal OF good.
Upon his return ii was hoped by his
friends that he would not feel Obliged
to leave his passionate for many years.
Dr.. Preble. however. has been one
of those clersymen. throughout his life
! who could not slight work. He had 70
plunge into his parish duties with fui,
vigor. The result is that il has been
known for some time to friends thai
the strain was telling and while the
DOCTOR has not said he was to ask til"
church to relieve him from his duties
those who were most intimate with him
had felt such action would be taken by
the reverend doctor.
