was mentioned as being a possible
successor to the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Rev. e. C. Gillette. A
letter was forwarded to Rev Mr.
Beardsley but he was forced to re-

he spends with his books and litera-
ture. His refusal was accepted with
much regret by the committee and
congregation in general as the pas
tor had made a great impression on
the local people. He has filled the
pulpit on almost every Sunday since
Rev. Mr.. Gillette leSt last December.
Rev. Mr.. Gillette occupied the pull
pit at the services yesterday morn
,ng and was heartily greeted by the
congregation. He is spending a va
| cation at Twn Lakes with his fam
