REV ROBERT STRANGE, D. D. Returned to the Ci J Ln: Night A Committee Prefect Beioln lone from the Conareia tlon of sr. Jme Chnroh. Rev.f Robert Strange, D. D , and fam ily returned to the city last night from Liwrenceville, Va , and last night a Star representative called at Dr. Str&oge's residence, on Market street, between Third and Fourth, to ascertain if the call to the rectorship of Christ Church, Norfolk, Va.. which bad been extended to Dr. Strange, had been acted upon, and was Informed that the call -has not as yet been accepted, although Dr. Strange has it under consideration. A committee of five gentlemen, Col. James G. Burr, Capt. John Cowan and Messrs. E, J. Powers, J. H. Boatwright and J. V. Grainger, representing the con gregation of St. James' Church, called at tbe residence and presented to Dr. Strange resolutions adopted by the con gregation of St. James' Church, in meet ing assembled last Friday night, request ing him to withhold his resignation as rector of that charch, Col. James G. Burr, representing the committee, pre sented the resolutions and made the fol lowing beautiful and touching address: Dr Strange: I have been request ed, as the oldest active member of St, James' Parish, to sav a few words on this occasion, which I do very willingly, but I am quite sure that nothing I may say can add to what has been so forcibly expressed in those resolutions. . They convey to you, sir, the feelings, the wishes and desires not of the chnrcb only but of the whole community, and you will see in them a reflection of tbe sentiments of the people of Wilmington in regard to yourself, as the Minister of God and as the private citi zen. Next to tbe approval of one's conscience, the good opinion of our friends and neighbors is most precipus, and that you have to the fullest extent, for I have sat under the teachings of eight Rectors of this Parish and cannot recall one who was hearer to the hearts cf our people than your honored self. And it is right that it should be so, right that thev should be tenderly attached to you, for in this Parish you were born and your kinfolk are all around you, and above all the ashes of vour sacred dead mingle with those of friends and rela tives, sleeping in our beautiful cemetery of Oakdale. You bave so endeared yourself to our people that the thought of separation cannot be entertained; oar children are growing up around you, you have re ceived them into the Church in the sacred rite of baptism, have blessed them wben they entered upon tbe holy estate of matrimony and in tbeir hour of afflic tion when the angel of death invaded the sanctity of our homes and laid his icey touch upon tbe loved ones in our nest; when tbe heart was heavy and when tbe head was hot, you have comforted and sustained us with gentle words of sym pathy, of encouragement and hope. Such associations sir. cannot.easily be severed nor can such ties be broken without a pang. I therefore on behalf of tbe commit tee beg tbat you will give these resolu tions your prayerful consideration, and that vour decision may be in accordance with'the earnest desire not only of your own people, but of tbe entire community also.
