PERSONAL.-The Rev. H. Bross, who for the past three years has been
pastor of the Congregational Church at Millburn, and under whose
pastorate the congregation has increased from sixty to one hundred
members, and a new church been built, has resigned his connection
with that parish and goes hence to Ottumwa, Iowa, having received
a call from the Congregational Church of that city. We are both
pleased and pained to make this announcement-pleased, that our
friend will enter upon a larger field of usefulness and one more
commensurate with his abilities and worth, and pained, because the
change necessitates his removal from the county where he is so
widely and favorably known. He will carry with him to this new
field of effort the best wishes, not alone of many friends of his
own church, but also those of other denominations who have watched
his honorable life and successful religious labor in this
vicinity.
