TROUBLES AT CAMBRIDGE.
VICAR’S LETTER TO PARISH lONERS.
CAMBRIDGE, Sept. 9. The vicar of Cambridge, Rev. G. Gordon Bell, has lately issued a circular letter to his parishioners in which he intimates that he may possibly be leaving Cambridge. Apparently referring to the long-drawn-out trouble in the church and with the bishop, the vicar says that the end of every spiritual conflict is seeming failure and that, like our Lord, he has to admit defeat.
His letter- says: “It is hurting and humbling to have to do so. . . 1 have gone on through many weary months, hoping and praying—many hoping and praying likewise—that those responsible for making all the trouble here would change. They have not done so. I cannot go on much longer. It would not be fair to the many friends who have helped with money and with credit that I should do so. . Tlio vicar concludes by again stating that he must accept seeming defeat and that he must go away.
