Reed was elected modera- tor. .The meeting was called to give consideration to a. false report circulat- ed by the Norwalk Hour in regard to the pastor of the church, Rev. W. H. Hubbard. The pastor upon reading the report gave it credence to the ex- tent lof handing in his resignation, the article in question stating that the pastor would be asked to resign. Deacon J. W. Bogardus read the res- ignation of the pastor which was a great. surprise to the society, as Mr. Hubi- u-d had been held in high esteem by many of his flock and respected by the entire community. The resignation was voted to be laid on the table. The following preamble and set of resolutions were read by Deacon An-' drew Thompson: VVhei-eas, A publication appeared in the Norwalk Hour on Friday, July 14, 1899, in which a tissue of falsehoods were made, stating that there was trouble for the pastor of the South Nor~ walk Baptist church, the Rev. William H. Hubbard and, that prominent mem- bers of the church intended to raise funds enough to pay him his year’s salary in order that he might resign; and said publication asserted that the church was opposed to his evangelical methods, therefore be it Resolved, That the Church at a meeting held on Sunday, July 16th, 1899, considers and refutes said publi- cation as one conceived in malice. and the assertions there made were without the least foundation from beginning to end. Resolved, 'lhat this church offers to its pastor sincere sympathy for the baseless attack made on him ; consid- ering it alsoa gross reflection upon the reputation of the Church ; and that we hereby pledge our cordial support, tes~ tifying our confidence and approval of all he has done to advance the spiritual interests of the church, and the com- 'munityin his self-denying labors in the cause of the Great Head of the Church.’ Motio'n made that the preamble and resolutions be adopted. Carried unan- imously by 3. raising vote. Motion made that the resign ttion of the Pastor be taken from the table. Carried unanimously by 3. raising vote. ‘ Motion. ifi‘da'éiifmthe. Pastor be re- quested to withdraw. his letter of res- igration and that the Church heartily approves of the work that he has done . since he has been our Pastor. Cat‘ried unanimously by a rising vote. Voted, That the Board of Trustees be appointeda committee to demand from the editor of the “Hour” that they divulge the name of the party from whom they received. the informa- tion as published in their issues of July 14th, 1899, and that said state- ments be refuted. Voted, That the preamble, resolu- tions and resi;nation of the Pastor be placed in the hands of the Trustees, and they to see that said documents are printed in the daily papers of the twin cities published on Monday, July 17th. 1899. ’ The above resolutions were unani- mously adopted. .s-..‘ O » CONCORD DIVISION.

The Wedding 'ofa Boyl5 and a Girl of 16. - ‘ NEW CANAAN SENSATION. Announcement Made Monday and Confirmed By Boy’s Mother. There is another sensation stirring New Canaan. This time it is the wedding of a boy who will not celebrate his sixteenth birthday for a month ' yet, and a girl who is not yet seventeen. The bride is Miss Pearl Irene Pack, who was graduated recently from the Center school at New Canaan. ; Miss Pack has been living at the home of her grandfather, a couple of‘ miles north of New Canaan, in thE“ schoolmate, had paid her attentions for a long time. Owing to their youth, no one supposed that they were going to get married, at least not for some years, and there was general surprise Monday when it was announced that thevaere husband and wife. The announcement was confirmed by the mother of the boy, and she is in a position to know, because she wit- nessed the ceremony, which occurred at Port Chester on Monday, July 10. On that day the couple started off for a. trip to Glen Island. The mother of the young man went along too.Wheth- er they had any intention to be mar- ried when they left New Canaan, or Whether they made up their minds to be made one when they were amid the romantic surroundings of Mr. Starin’s island, is not known, but there is no doubt that they were wedded, and that a Port Chester parson officiated. Mrs. Johnson, the mother of the young groom, does not think there is anything remarkable about a couple being wedded at the age of these young people. She was married when sne was fourteen, and she does not see why others should not do likewise and be happyever afterwards. ' " "‘5”? and the bridegroom of a 'week is em- ployed in the rug factory of Mason Merrill. - A“ CAMP PREPARATIONS. New Haversacks, Overcoats and Canteens to be IssUed.
