The announcement of the resigna- tion of Rev. Ernest A. Legg of the Danielson Methodist Episcopal church was announced Saturday. Rev. MT. Legg is leaving here to become pastor of the Methodist church at Water vile. Me, the second largest church in the Maine conference.
 The. request that Rev. MT. Legg consider the change from DanielsDn to Maine came unsolicited by him, from Bishop Edward H. Hughes of the New England area Under the circumstances. Rev MT. Legg felt that ne could not do otherwise than give serious considera ton to the making of the change, and Friday evening the matter was placed before the official board of the Danie!son church. The sentiment there, while expressed with the most sincere regret, was that the pastor could enter . larger field of service by going to the Maine church and Rev, MT. Legs's feelings in the matter were approved.
 Rev. Mir. Legg came to Danielson in April, 1913. and during his pastorate here has made a splendid record of service. The financial condition of the church has been materially improved there has been acquisition of addi- donal property and the membership. notwithstanding losses by death and removals. has more than held its own.
 Rev. Mir. Legg has made his infiu- ence for good strongly felt in the CIVIC life Of the community, has been an. ardent and efficient worker in many special lines of endeavor, all tending toward the public good and his going away will be matter of regret gen. orally throughout the town Rev. MT. Legg expects to remove for Maine with his family about Feb. l.
 Tuesday, New Years evening, the fourth quarterly conference of the Danielson church will be held, and Rev. G. G. Scrivener, district superin- tendent. will preside. It is indicated that about every member of the church will be present at this confer ence, which will be one of special inn portance, in view of the fact that it will be the last at which Rev: MT Legg will be present at pastor
