 Rev. Tyler To Leave
 Rev George F. Tyler, for the past two years pastor of the Plainville Ad~ vent Christian church, has rendered his resignation to the official board in that capacity and plans to leave town in the near future. The resignation of Rev. Mir. Tyler was accepted with deep regret by the board as his s2rv- ices here have been always of the best and he has done a great deal to- wards the welfare of the church, al- though he has been here but a com paratiVely short time. It was only last year that the remaining mortgage of $1,000 had been paid with appropriase ceremonies. The church is in excel lent financial condition. With the tx Ception of several members who had known Of it, the announcement of the leaving of Rev. MT. Tyler will be slIi- den and unexpected. The resignation of the pastor, however, is no sudden decision on his part, as he has had 1t in mind to change his field of labor for some time. He will be in town for some weeks to come and has Gs yet made no definite decision regard ing his future.
 Rev. Mir. Tyler came to Plainville from Boston where he was secretary and treasurer of the National Mission society for four years. Before moving to Boston, he made his home in Bris- tOl and spent z years of his life there as pastor to the Advent Christian church in that city. He then moved to Vermont on account of the illness of his mother and later moved to boS- ton.
 The entire town in general will be sorry to hear of the resignation of tl,e local pastor as he has made q host of friends here Rev. Mr. Tyler will o1- fer his pleasant home at 47 Maple street for sale.
