In consid- eration of his present position, he thought ho was qualified for local work, but it would be imposeiblo for him to do both. Ho had come at the requost of tho Vestry, without thought of the possibility of suck n rosult, and for him to go bmck and say that he should leave thom, was somothing Lo could not possi- bly do. Ho was compelled to say ho could not accept tha position tendered him. Tielup Cummins, the llev. Mr. 8mith, and the Rev. Mr. Leacock stronuously urged him to ac- copt it. Dr, Chousy roplied that he could not think of taking tho step until ho bnd consulted with his congregation.
