Pastor Delivers Farewell Sermon and Congregation Impulsively Decides to Leave for Other DenOmi- nation.

Friends of the Italian Mission fos. tered by the South Congregational church were very much surprised yesterday to hear that Rev. Mich ael Maietta had preached his !are- well sermon to the Mission and had resigned as Italian minister 10 both | the south and Emmanuel GoSpel churches, and that the Mission was about to move from the South church to the Emmanuel Gospel church next Sunday.
 Going Ahead Backwards. Although it has been an open secret for some months that the South church officials and the Connecticut Missionary society were dissatisfied with the alleged lack of progress be- ing made by the Mission and that the Mission really was undergoing a per- iod of probation, while the church considered dropping it entirely be- cause of an apparent lack of interest, the action yesterday taken by the Italian people themselves came some- what as n surprise.
 Ordained Two Elders.
 The Mission will continue under the direction of Rev. Harry s. Landis, of Emmanuel Gospel church. MicMel Carrubba, of 444 North Burritt street, and Angelo Palumbo, of 470 Arch street, who were ordained by Rev. Michael Maietta yesterday as elders of the Mission, will have charge of the services.
 Goes To Holly, N. Y.
 In his farewell service yesterday morning, MT. Maietta stated that he was going from here to Syracuse, where his wife is, and from there to Holly, New York, where he has &C., cepted charge.
 Action Immediate.
 Action to move from the South church to the Emmanuel church was taken immediately. Whether or not the people were advised by Mir. Mai etta, who was ordained in the Elm manuel church, to change, could not be learned today, as Mr. Maietta was out of town.
 MT. Paumbo was very reticent when interviewed yesterday after noon, simply stating that the congre- gation had voted to move and that from a Christian viewpoint he did not care to discuss the reasons. The in ference was that there has been some friction, or at least the Italian peo- ple have had their feelings injured in some manner.
 No Official Notice.

SIX BARE-FOOTED
 GIRLS IN CHURCH
Grecian Dancers Take Part in Queer Ceremony At St. Marks
 in-the- -BouWcric

New York, March 27.-Six barefoot ed girls, clothed in the loose flowing garments of another age danced be- fore the yelled sanctuary in the church of St. Mark s-in-t -Bouwerie yesterday afternoon as the white spot lights played upon them and blue smoke from huge incense pots curled about their graceful forms.
 Dr. William Norman Guthrie, rec tor, described the dance as "an Fury themic ritual expressive of the An nunciation." He had been faced, he saidp with the necessity of finding a it. Therefore the dance-"a thing of beauty'-as a means of teaching peo- pie to worship.
 "Sculptors of Greece brought about 8 revival of the Greek religion by em- bodying the aspirations of the religion in their work and giving it great beauty" he said ''so why cannot a church like this, if it gets the backing of public opinion, bring about re- naissance of religious worship through beauty, through the plastic arts, make the dance a pathway to Heaven, 1t will be pathway to Hell.
 That is my ideal and I am trying to realize it. It is difficult with an individual dealing with an individual institution. It is foredoomed to fail ure but l think the things that seem bound to fail are the only things worth doing"

LAST MONTH; TWO
FATALITIES HERE

TWENTY-FIVE fatal motor vehicle ac-
cidents occurred in Connecticut dur
ing the month of August, according
to announcement made yesterday at
the motor vehicle department. This
is exactly the same number of such
fatalities as were reported for the
corresponding month of last year, but
nearly 10000 more cars on the high

ing progress in the safety movement
through the state.
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport,

two fatal accidents involving motor
vehicles during the past month. In
addition to these, New London, Der
by, Norwalk, Bristol, Stamford, Sims
New Britain, Danbury, Wjllimantic,

Every effort is being made by the

different sections of the state to keep
down the number of automobile acct
dents during this month and the next,
September and October holding the
record being the two worst
months in the year for such acct
dents. Fail driving is then at its
height and the drivers are subject
to greater hazards by reason of
weather conditions peculiar to this
season of the year, such as rain, fog,
falling leaves, frost and other causes
