NEWTOWN TO HAVE.
 COUNTRY CLUB FOR SUMMER RESIDENTS
Bridgeporters Who Spend Warm Months There Are
 Planning New Venture.

A new country club to be formed by members of the Bridgeport and New York summer coloney at New town, to include a handsome club house, extensive golf links, modern tennis. hand-bal1 and other courts has almost been established. The project is we'll under way and has met with great enthusiasm wherever the subject has been preached. New town now has no club of the kind and with the influx of Bridgeport res idents a keen need for such a place has been felt.
 It is planned to. purchase a large tract of land in thar town, have the clubhouse surmount hill, where the view will be attractive, and con- struct both 9 and IS hole golf links. Though not definitely planned sugges- tions for the purchase of the Ronald Castle proPerty have been under con sideration.l
 Among the prominent Bridgeport persons who summer in Newtown may be mentioned William Allen, Dwight c. Wheeler, William Downs and Charles Coe.

4.For I am determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Chrlst and Him crucified." He dwelt to a considerable extent upon the atone .ment, which he said, was not. a de- vice by which a. man may be jug gIed into heaven; was not a~protec- tion but a revelation; was not to save men from Divine wrath but to reveal Divine love. The influence of the cross is felt in the social, political, ministerial and domestic parts of the world. In Christ, the hero of the Di- vine tragedy is to be found a perfect ideal
 MT. Pinkham said, that it was the fourth anniversary of his pastorate and after dwelling touchingly on his first Sunday four years ago, when many had been moved to tears and sf- lent prayer f4r the young minister, he reviewed the work of the church since his coming to the present day. He exclaimed: sYou who have known me- will bear me witness that if I had any pet theme it was for the fur therance of His cause" He said that if it was to be his last sermon. his theme would still be to give up. ev- erything even popularity, for Jesus Christ. He then delivered a. touch ing discourse.
 In closing he said that he was sat isfied with his four years of ministry and that he felt like establishing a. milestone and writing upon it, sEbe- nezer, Hitherto hath the Lord helped thee.''
 Rev. E. G. Fullerton of the Park Street Congregational church ex- changed with MT. Pinkham in the evening At the conclusion of an in teresting sermon MT. Fullerton read the following resignation of MT. Pink ham:
 Not without sorrow can I think of breaking the tie that for years has held us together as pastor and people. But after careful and pro longed deliberation I have decided that it is my duty to do so. there fore hereby resign my office as your pastor. I make this resignation un- conditional and I beg that you will regard it as final and will permit 1t to take effect at once.'' After reading the resignation, MT. F'u1lefton highly eulogized the retiring pastor and hop ed that the churchs might prosper under his successor. The resignation was accepted.
