E. ehuroh, of Uoston, Mass. "Says the Free Press: Dr. ■iunisay bas, since he assumed the pasorate of the Central church a year ago ast September, received a number of calla to other cities, but they have come when he did not feel as thotigh he could properly leave his church here, ind he has promptly declined them all. Dr. Ramsay now feels as though he can give up bis work here with propriety. Mrs. Ramsey does not enjoy as good heallh in this climate as she does ïear the seashore. Bedides this Dr. Ramsay himself would very much like o go east. The cali from íhe Tremont :hurch, the largest Methodist church in Soston, comes from perfect strangers, who only knew the doctor by reputaion. All of these facts urge his accepance. Dr. Ramsay admitted yestfrday hat he is considering the matter favorably, and staled thatasyet he has made no reply to it. It is altogether likely ■hat he will accept. The Tremont church pulpit was occupied for several years by Rev. W. S. Studley, who pro;eded Dr.Ramsay as pastor of the üentral church.
