"A few weeks ago Kev. Knickerbock- sma
er created a sensattl,n b) resigning his bde
position as pastor of Trinity church, sai
saying that he could no longer preach
for that denomination, since his relig- dbe
inus convictions had changed to such ere
an extent that he must seek a more sto
liberal field of acticn. sp
*"The resignation came in the form Co
of a great surprise to his congregation, At
with which he was very popular. Be
There had been no previous suggest- go

came, on the very day of the great ie
District Epworth league convention, Gi
which was held in 'T'rinity church, a 4
few weeks ago, the astonishment of C
the congregation was very marked.
-,Mr Knickerbocker declares that he C.
did not intend to resign at the time of an

did not any longer indorse the doc

resign at once, so there was no other
alternative.
