Learned Resigns from Clerkship and Super- intendency at Park Church.-Clerk George Bruce Completed 25 Years Work at Broadway--Second Church will Lock Up $8,000 i'und---Additional iunds at Central Baptist. The annmal meeting of the Park Congregational church was held in the parlors of the Osgood Memorial on Thursday evening. Rev. Dr. Howe pre- sided and opened the meeting with the usual devotional exercises. Dr. An- thony Peck was chosen clerk pro tem. in the absence of Major Learned. en Learned read the report of the cha s in the memwership of the church dur- ing the past year. Fourteen new mem- bers have been added and there have been five removals—four by death and one by letter. The present member- ship is 857. The report of the church treasurer was made by Henry L. Butts who gave in detail an account of all money passing through his hands for the year. This amounted to $3,715.26, of which $1,357.07 was given for mis- sionary work in America. Weston Pullen as treasurer of the Sunday school reported a substantial balance on hand in each of the two accounts of charities and running expenses. A review of the year in the societies comprised in the Woman's association was given with special reports by Mrs. Symington, treasurer of the Parish House assoclation, and Mrs. Browning of the church charities committee. Dir. Howe told a little of the Men's club. The election of officers followed. Oliver L. Johnson and Henry A. Tirrell, whose term of office as deacons had expired, were re-elected. Allen Latham, Mrs Frank W, Browning and Miss Alice W. Cogswell were voted members of the church standing committee. The regignation of Major Learned as clerk and Sunday school superinten- dent was read by Eben Learned and received with the deepest regret and sympathy. He wrote: In September last I offered my resignation as super- intendent of the Sunday school to the church committee on account of dis- abllity. They relleved me from the duty, very considerately, but claimed that the church elected me to the posi- tion and that they alone could act on my resignation. I therefore ask you to fill my place as clerk of the church and as superintendent of the Sunday school with other appointments. My sole rea- son for this request is my inability to continue longer to perform the services incident to these places. Any regret which may be felt by you at the clos- ing of our offictal connection is shared by me—only a thousand time more deeply. In fact, it Is the greatest trial of my present condition that my ser- vice to our church, however slight it may be, must be discontinued. Since May, 1873, when I turned the first sod at the breaking of the ground for the foundation of our church bullding, I have been connected with the church in some form of personal service, and it is hard to give it up. Dr. Howe spoke In affectionate terms the highest praise of Major Learned's service, saying things did not seem the same without his presence. Miss Mary Avery read in behalf of the y school their tribute to their su intendent. “The teachers of the Sun- day school desire to take this oppor- tunity to bear testimony to Major Learned's loyal, falthful and efficient service. His punctual attendance, even during 111 health, has been an inspiring example to teachers and scholars, vhile his devotion has been constantly shown in personally preparing pro- grammes, conducting the musical ex- erci and generously supporting ev- erything that has pertained to the welfare of the school. Bver ready to welcome suggestions whereby the effi- clency of the school might be im- proved, he has yet maintained a con- gervative attitude toward untried methods, remembering the true tunc- tion of the school as a place for Bible study and Christian nuture. ‘The teachers ask the church to continue Major Learned’s connection with our school by creating the office of honor- ary superintendent.” This the church was only too glad to do and it was Immediately voted. Oliver L. Johnson was elected clerk, but asked to be r ved and nominated J. Dana Coit, who was voted in. Henry L. Butts was re-elected treasurer, with Miss Butts his assistant, and Rob- ert W. Perkins continued auditor, Ollver L, Johnson was chosen as the uperintendent of the Sunday 1, with Myron B. Prentice as his ant. Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson nues as superintendent of the in. epartment, with Miss Sarah L. Huntineton the honorary superinten- dent. Mrs. G. F. Barstow and Mrs. F. W. Brown are the committee on church charities.

All were accepted. There were also reports of the various other organ tions of the church, showing their work. Rev. Mr. Worcester reported that the women's organizations of the church had formed an association dur- ing the year and all organizations had reported. The report of the ushering committee, B. E, Byles, showed that 2,330 strangers had bee seated during the year. The resignation of George H.

Cooley is the only living charter mem- ber of the church, and Dr, Lewellyn Pratt was authorized to forward him a letter of congratulation. For deacoms to succeed themselves, Waterman R. Burnham and Gen. W. A. Afken were clected. To fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Deacon Kirk Leavens, many ballots were nec- essary, but Thomas W.

The regular ap- propriation to the state conference was voted. At the present time the church membership Is 356, showing a loss tor the year through deaths and removals The church authorized W. S. Allis to look up a fund which is left in trust with the deacons of the church for the purpose of determining if it can be used in the church work. The fund amounts to $7,614.3¢ and came from the $1,500 insurance money recelved after the burning of the Mt. Pleasant chapel thirty-eight years ago. It was Ilaced In trust with the deaccns of the church and has been In the bank ever since. It has never been touched. The members of the Second church with a few others contributed the money which built the Mt. Pleasant chapel and it was occupled -as a chapel of the Second church by the Second church people until the building was burned. The church now desires to know just what can be done with the fund and who can use it, it being con- sidered that being left with the dea- Zons that it can be used for work in connection with the church. The Ee- clesiastical society has taken the same action as the church and named Mr. Allis to look the matter up and re- port. Central Baptist Church.

After tak- ing two bottles I regalned my strength and feeling unusually well.” Henry ingham, Elder Bape tist Church, Kingston, N. C. Vinol is not a patent medicine—but & preparation composed of the medicinal elements of cods’ livers, combined with & tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones up the organs of digestion and makes rich, red blood. In this natural manner, Vinol creates strength for the run-down, over- ‘worked and debilitated, and for deli- cate children and old people. For ronic coughs, colds and bronchitis inol is unexcelled.
