O yes, we greet you with delight. And though your coming is at night When prowlers often freedom feel. When unawares upon you steal. And shock you with a sudden start You place your hand upon your heart. Ah no, your case was herald in By Father Time who makes a din When ushering a new born soul.

It can only be so led by your generous co operation with your new leader. \As to myself, I will say that it is a well-nigh insupportable trial to re nounce the rectorship of this church. I came here as a mere boy. This has been the scene of every crisis, sorrow and blessing that has come into my life. The life of this church and my life are intertwined forever. Its whole work and experience has become part and parcel of the very fiber of my soul, and it gives me an intolerable wrench to sunder the ties, but I have done it for the best. I need rest. I have no grievances. My fear is that I am not grateful enough for the priv ilege granted me of ministering for so long to a responsive and sympathetic people, and in a community so inter esting and stimulating as is that of Brooklyn. \1 do not feel as if I were sundering all ties with you. My heart will al ways be here, and it will be a joy to come back, from time to time, to wor ship with you and to bring, if I may, some helpful message which shall bless him who brings and him who receives it. I shall try not to be idle. Mean while, I am endeavoring to make real to my heart of hearts the sentiment which breathes through Newman’s golden hymn: ‘I do not ask to see the distant scene; One step’s enough for me.’ May God have us, both you and me, in His holy keeping.

A young woman who said she was Miss May Clark, 19 years old, of Free port, L. I., who since Tuesday had been stopping at the Broadway Central Hotel, was taken to Bellevue Hospital late last night for observation. She went to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Mary Hughes of 883 Columbus Ave nue, last night, and took the aunt to the hotel, where she insisted that Mortimer Webb, the son of the propri etor, was her husband. The Webbs have a country home at Freeport, but Mr. Webb tdld Mrs. Hughes there was no reason at all to say that he was married to the young woman. Mrs. Hughes decided her niece was suffer ing from delusions and took her to the Mercer Street station, where, after the matter had been explained tv the pol ice, she was removed to the hospital. At the Broadway Central Hotel to day it was said that Mr. Webb was not there, and nobody was authorized to speak for him.—Brooklyn Eagle.
