Gleason, General Russell host, Christian Swarts. Frank D. Layton and Frank A Farris was ap- pointed to hurry forward the genetal plan laid dow.n The committee felt itself fortunate in securing as tempor- ary acting pastor. Rev. John N. Frec- than 0.0.. who came after Mr. Stray- er ‘s departure. and is still here to the helpfulness. comfort and satisfaction of all. On September i'iih the sub com mittee offered a unanimous report to the genral committee, in within the matter was presented as follows: For the past two months your c-otn mittee has been aware of an earnest and growing conviction on the part of many that the greatest 800d seemingly of the church would be served it Dr. Freeman could by any means he Induc- ed to become our pastor. This was barred from the outset and entirely un- expected to your committee The dec- larations and plans of this clergyman have consisteniy shut the door on any such consideration or expectation, but since Dr. Freeman came among us as our acting pastor, his personality has been so winning. his pastoral work so thorough, engaging and successful. his public service so strong and helpful his Christian spirit so sincere and in aplring. that the question seems to your committee to have passed from the phase of what he or we expected and planned, to a supreme one for this committee (and perhaps for the church) now to consider. viz: “Is Dr. Freeman. of the men we know, the one who can most helpfully serve us in the leadership of this church? Therefore your committee has felt it necessary to call you togeth- er and submit these facts that it may ask if these Indicate the necessity at this point of your taking action for def~ inltely ascertaining confidentially. the deliberate conviction of every member of the church who can be reached on this question. We say “confidential- ly" because if this suggestion were to become a matter of public gossip at this time. We consider that would ut- terly end all chance of our securing Dr. Freeman for any closer relation than he now occupies. if It should turn out. however, that the hearts of the people have been won by Dr. Freeman. it. would seem to your committee of highest importance that every endeavor should be made to se- cure his conscnt to become our pastor and if this should prove not feasible It will certainly be necessary to have the point settled before the church can be generally interested in any other man. Your executive committee therefore proposes for your consideration at this meeting the following resolution. viz.. “That this general committee pro ceed to secure a confidential canvass of the members of this Church with the view of ascertaining definitely If Dr. Freeman be the choice of our members for the pastorate." This report was unanimously adopt ed Thercnpon your committee devised a scheme on the following lines. By personal visitation 370 members of the church were reached and offered sig~ nature proxies authorizing the commit- 'ce to prosecute a call to Dr. Freeman. For two weeks this private canvass went on lndustriousis..., We owe our thanks to the considerate reporters who loyally kept ottr secret for us and fur- ther than this, not one of the 370 and more who knew this thing was going on communicated it to Dr. Freeman. The general committee was called to- gether on October 4th to hear the re suit and It was so surprising that there was but one thing to be done; where upon a special committee of ten was appointed to seek an interview with Dr Freeman and communicate to him the situation. The committee. consisting of Deacon Edward Beard. Deacon Nelson Dickerman, Frank H. Gleason, Mrs. J, M. Coburn, M. 1).. Miss Helen Ferris. General Russell. Frost, Christian Swartz. Frank D. Layton. William R. Thompson. Frank A. Ferris, met the acting pastor at the residence of Des- con Edward Beard on Sunday after noon. October 4th. and presented to him the minutes in full of the third meeting of the general committee. the special reports to it of the sub commit- tee. the minutes of the last meeting of the general committee signed by ev- ery member, authorising the special committee of ten to request Dr. Free man to permit the church to extend him a call and thereupon laid down before , out of 370 members of the church who had been reached. 356 written proxies authorising the committee to cast the votes of the signers for any measure that might be adopted to invite Dr. Freeman to become our pastor. Such a remarkable procedure has never be fore come under the notice of any mem- ber of your committee and it is believ- ed to be without parallel in the history of the Congregational Church of New England. Each member of the committee of ten urged upon Dr. Freeman his accep‘ tance of this unexpected call and pledg- ed earnest personal cooperation. Dr. Freeman was left undisturbed for two weeks' to consider this strange and strong situation and on Sunday, Octo- ber 18th. the committee waacalled to gather to receive his reply.

My experiences as your acting pastor have been among the most delightful and memorable of all my ministry. No minister could wish or expect more kindly, courteous. hearty sympathy or cooperation than I have received from the phloem and members of your church. it is therefore with a real personal sorrow that I have slowly. deliberate- ly, yet positively reached the decision that i cannot consent to have my name presented to your church for this for- mal action with a view to thc perma- nent pastorate. Reasons which. for the past two years have moved me to decline similar Invitations. are still in force. They seem clearly to indicate that it is God’s will for me to continue to serve His church ns~i am now do- lug. i am also confident that you will in due time. find "a man of God" who can more effectively than i serve you In the leadership of this church. 1 am sure he will receive from you the unan- mity. the enthusiasm. the, affection with which you have been pleased to honor me. Meanwhile, If it should be your wish and choice, I will gladly continue to serve as your acting pastor. Though my residence will be in New York city after November the first, I could ar- range to take the Sunday and week night services. and to do such special pastoral work as may be needed and mutually agreed upon. However. I would not In the least de gree. embarrass your future plans and efforts to secure a permanent postm. 0n the contrary. i will hold myself ready and glad to help you to reach this desired result. I shall ever cherish in grateful mem- ory your kindness and the special hon- or which you have conferred upon me. I will most earnestly pray God to guide and prosper you in your future plans. and most heartily rejoice when some good man shall be installed as your pas tor. With affectionate regard for you and yours, In home and church, I remain. Gratefully your friend. JOHN NEWTON FREEMAN. In conclusion the report states that it regrets Dr. Freeman’s inability to accept the call. and pays a high compli- ment to his ability. and considers the church fortunate that he will continue to remain the acting pastor while the committee prosecutes its work further. and endeavors to get a permanent one here. The report is signed by Deacon Edward Board. chairman. and Deacon Nelson Dickerman. secretary. The Sunday school gave a concert exercise following the morning service. the topic being in the Land of the Crescent. Many of the congregation remained to hear the service. The church was crowded at the ev- ening service, and there was an elab- orate musical service. which was ap- preciated by all.
