The Rev. G.W. Wuich?

         Secretary of the Board of Trustees
 My dear Sir.
                          I hereby tender to the Board of

Trustees through you, my resignation of the Samuel Holmes professorship of Practical Theology in the Hartford Theological Seminary to take effect Oct. 1. 1892.underlined This action I have been constrained by the irresistible conviction that it is my single course of duty to accept the professorship of Christian Sociology and the English Bible in the Chicago Theological Seminary. So deeply have I been informed with the grave responsibilities incurred by any decision involving such high interests and sacred trusts as one identified with both of these important spheres.
