St. Paul's Church, one of the largest

Mr. Coleman to become its rector. 1
At the Vestry meeting of Trinityt

formation that Mr. Coleman gave out. A
He has the matter under advisement“
, and will announce to the congregation i '
next Sunday morning his intentions.
Mr. Coleman was ordained to the dio-
conate in St. John‘s Cathedral, New
‘3 York City, and was advanced to the
;priesthood by Bishop Lines, in
‘Paul's Church, Paterson,
St.
New Jer-
sey, while engaged in missionary work
in the. Diocese of Newark, at Little
Falls and Butler. He remained in
New Jersey for two years and then ac-
accepted a call to become assistant
at St. John's Church, Stamford, where
he remained for three and a half
years, coming as rector to Trinity on
November 1, 1910. Mr. Coleman ‘has
thus been rector of Trinity for over
eight years.
If Mr. Coleman leaves Trinity
